Tomb Born

Tomb Born

Background Rare

Your parents conceived you for a fell purpose at a site tainted by death, like a wight’s barrow, mass grave, or ossuary. Their reasons could be a mystery, or you might know of their grand design and seek to escape—or fulfill—their plans. Either way, you’re at your most dangerous when near death.

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

You’re trained in the Undead Lore skill. You gain the Final Spite reaction.

  • Final Spite [reaction] Frequency once per day; Trigger You’re reduced to 0 Hit Points; Effect You make a Strike before falling unconscious.
