Homebrew Aradon Species Details

Aradon are rarely seen, not simply because there are so few of them, but also because they prefer not to be noticed. Many of these creatures live in shame, the shame of being a ghostly being trapped forever in one set of attire.

They make powerful allies, however, as they have seen death firsthand and now have no fear of the unknown, they are often curious, and care little about bringing themselves physical harm. They range in height depending on what race they previously were, this will also decide their appearance, their ghostly body weighs nothing but their armour will decide their weight. 55-70 pounds for heavy armour like chain mail, and around 10 pounds for lighter armour like leather. For Aradon who are simply wearing clothes, their weight will be 1-3 pounds.

While Aradon can add accessories to themselves, the clothes (and accessories) that they died in can never be removed, as they are part of the Aradon's being. The ghostly frame that inhabits these clothes cannot be hurt or killed, even by magic, as it is simply an apparition. Instead it is the clothes that house the Aradon's soul, and when these are damaged, the Aradon is hurt.

You are whatever alignment you were when you died, although you can change.
