Gaunt

---

Darkvision

Being creatures created by Purgatoria, Gaunt are accustomed to the dimly lit world of Purgatory and the dark shadows that shroud many areas. You can see in dim light within 60 feet as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.  

Mental Resistance

Your ancestors have seen the horrors of the world that awaits after death and your body has evolved to deal with the trauma, this has strengthened your mind greatly. You are resistant to psychic damage and immune to all madness effects.  

Reach the Dead

Using this trait, as long as its skull is intact, you may commune with a corpse or skeleton that you touch, creating a direct link to their spirit in Purgatory for 3 minutes. In order to create this link, you must touch or hold the head or skull of the deceased person. The spirit speaks in whispers that emanate from the skull. The spirit speaks in the undead language, Undeath. The spirit is under no compulsion to answer any questions truthfully and it acts in the same way it would have in life (if the person knew you in life, it acts in whatever way it would have normally). The spirit knows everything that it knew in life, but has no recollection of its time in Purgatory. Should you stop touching the head or skull, the communication ends immediately and it can only be restarted with another use of this trait. The spirit does not remember the conversation. Once you have used this trait, it can not be used again until you finish a short or long rest.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Undeath. Gaunt tend to speak in a low, quiet tone adding to their unsettling appearance.
