You are a medium. You have an intrinsic
connection with the spirits that roam beyond the
plane of the living. You can feel their presence,
and even sometimes hear their words. It’s not
like talking to a person that’s alive, for you can
only hear bits and pieces of a sentence, but it’s
sometimes enough for you to understand what
their intent is. It falls on you whether to listen to
the whispers of the dead or ignore them, as you’ve
been told to do ever since your gift revealed
itself to you.
Skills

The Gift |
| 1 |
The gift has been passed down
through generations in my
family. I’m its latest recipient. |
| 2 |
I had a brush with death that connected
me with the plane where spirits lie,
and now I’m able to hear them. |
| 3 |
After the death of the most important
person to me, the will of their spirit
to communicate with me was so
strong that I acquired the gift, and
I’m now able to hear all spirits. |
| 4 |
My soul has an intrinsic quality that is
enticing to spirits. They are drawn to me
and I can hear them. I do not know what
makes me especially interesting to them. |
| 5 |
I have trained all my life to
develop my gift, despite having no
natural inclination for it. I am now
able to hear their whispers after
countless nights trying to do so. |
| 6 |
I wasn’t able to hear spirits, and I just
pretended I could for a carnival act.
One day however, I could suddenly
hear them. I have no idea what changed
to make me an actual medium. |
Feature: Whispers from the Grave
You are able to understand undead and they
can understand you, regardless of the languages
you share. This does not make it so undead are
friendly to you, only that you can understand
them better.
