Revenant

Coming back from an unambiguous death left a body that heals like the undead's, harmed by the same vitality that mends the living.

Granted Features
Automatic:
Sheer stubbornness pushes back the brink of death, buying one more failed save before the end finally claims you.
Theological grounding in gods and their servants helps a character recognize divine magic and understand what drives the undead.

You died. No real doubt about that. Bullet to the brain or knife to the throat, you were dead as dead can be. Then you got back up again. Maybe you had some unfinished business, or maybe you were just so tough and so mean that Hell itself spat you out. Either way, you came back for a reason.

Choose two attribute boosts. One must be to Constitution or Charisma, and one is a free attribute boost.

You're trained in Religion and Boneyard Lore. You're still alive, not undead, but you have the void healing ability, which means you're harmed by vitality damage and healed by void effects as if you were undead.
