Risen From the Dead

Starting at 1st level, your type changes to undead. Your basic shape remains the same, but your skin is now stretched tight over your bones, with little soft tissue. Your voice is changed, but not obviously monstrous. A creature touching you or seeing an uncovered part of your body is allowed a free instinctual Wisdom (Perception) check against your Charisma (Deception) to recognize you are undead. Exposure beyond this and recognition automatic.

You are vulnerable to radiant damage. You are immune to disease, poison damage, and the poisoned condition. You do not need to eat, breathe, or sleep, but you need to rest to gain the benefit of long or short rest.

Your Dark Strike is made with your open hands, dealing slashing damage similar to claws.

Grave Goods

At 1st level you gain proficiency with martial weapons and light and medium armor. Armor and weapons that have been damaged to the point that living creatures can't use them work normally for you. This allows you to buy non-magical arms and armor at a quarter of the normal price, but such items cannot be sold.

Spectral Beginnings

At 6h level you gain damage resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks and to cold and thunder damage. You gain immunity to exhaustion and the charmed, grappled, paralyzed, petrified, and unconscious conditions.

You can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. You take force damage equal to your Proficiency Bonus if you end your turn inside an object.

Curse of the Dead

Beginning at 11th level, when you deal damage with Dark Strike or a weapon attack, you can use a bonus action to curse the target. The target takes necrotic damage equal to your dark strike die, and you heal the same number of hit points.

You can force a target that takes damage from Curse of the Dead to make a Constitution saving throw against your Dark Power save DC or be cursed. You have a link to a target cursed this way and can always tell the rough distance and direction to the target. The curse ends when you curse a different creature, and can be ended by Remove Curse and similar effect that breaks curses.

Spectral Traveler

Starting at 15th level, you can cast Etherealness. You can affect up to five additional willing creatures that you touch. You and targets of your Etherealness effect can end the effect on themselves as an action.

You can also cast Word of Recall. You must specify the destination of Word of Recall when you end a long rest.

At level 15 you can cast each of these spells once. At 20th level you can cast each spell three times. You regain all uses on a long rest.

Greater Curse of the Dead

At 20th level, when you use Curse of the Dead you can affect a target that fails a saving throw with the Bestow Curse spell in addition to the detection curse outlined in Curse of the Dead. This curse does not require concentration and has a permanent duration: it only ends if you end it (an action) or using Remove Curse or similar curse-breaking effect.
