Base Class: Bard
You’ve had a soul-shaking realization: you’ve been dead before, yet somehow you are alive again. This life isn’t your first; it might not even be your second. Your past life, or lives, are unclear to you, but you know that you passed through the gates of death. And the powers of death, or some other influence, wasn’t done with you. You might have convinced a deity to let you return to the Material Plane, perhaps you signed a deal with a fiend, or maybe you used an artifact that revived you. Whatever force brought you back, you now know the truth about yourself: that you are one of death’s representatives among the living.
Bolts of the Grave
You have learned to unleash bolts of necrotic energy from within your revived body. You can expend one of your Bardic Inspiration die to make a ranged spell attack against a creature within 30 feet of you. You are proficient with it, and you add your Charisma modifier to its attack and damage rolls. A creature hit by this attack takes necrotic damage equal to two of your current Bardic Inspiration die, which you roll.
Link with Dead
You can create a link with a spirit through their corpse. When you do so, you cast the speak with dead spell, without using a spell slot or material components. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
Speaking with the dead in this way temporarily gives you a capability from a past life—you’re unsure whether it’s from your past or the spirit’s. When the spell ends, you gain one random benefit from the Reincarnated Capabilities table. The benefit lasts until you finish a short or long rest.
Audience with Death
When at death’s door, you can converse with the powers of death. You have advantage on death saving throws, and whenever you make a death saving throw, your spirit can ask an entity of death a question that can be answered with “yes,” “no,” or “unknown.” The entity answers truthfully, using the knowledge of all those who have died.
In addition, whenever you have 0 hit points and are healed or stabilized, you can choose to change your subrace, if your race has any (for example, changing from Fallen Aasimer to Protecter Aasimer, or Red Dragonborn to Blue Dragonborn). You lose all your current racial features and they are replaced by the new racial features. You do not look any different except for one feature that you choose (for example, hair or eye color).
