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 sleep, buy you need to rest to gain the benfit of long or short rest.
Your Dark Strike is made with your open hands, dealing slashing damage similar to claw damage.
Grave Goods
At 1st level you gain proficiency with martial weapons and light and medium armor. Armor and weapons that have been damage 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.
Curse of the Dead
Beginning at 3rd level, when you deal damage with a melee attack, you can use a bonus action to curse the target. Constructs and elementals are immune to this ability. 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 take 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 effects that break curses.
Spectral Beginnings
At 6th level you can take a bonus action to cast the Blink spell. You can do this at will.
Tales of Death
At 7th level you can cast See Invisibility and Speak with Dead without material components. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for these spells. You can cast each of these spells a total number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all uses when you finish a long rest.
Spectral Traveler
Starting at 11th level, you can cast Etherealness three times, and regain the uses at the end of a long rest. You can end the effect on you as an action.
Spectral Master
When you reach 15th level you use Spectral Traveler to cast Etherealness, you can affect up to five additional willing creatures that you touch. Each affected creature can end the spell's effect on them as an action.
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 end when you curse another creature. You can remove such a curse as an action, otherwise it can only be removed by an effect that breaks curses.
