REVENANT
A revenant forms from the soul of a mortal who met a
cruel and undeserving fate. It claws its way back into the
world to seek revenge against the one who wronged it.
The revenant reclaims its mortal body and superficially
resembles a zombie. However, instead of lifeless eyes,
a revenant's eyes burn with resolve and flare in the
presence of its adversary. If the revenant's original
body was destroyed or is otherwise unavailable, the
spirit of the revenant enters another humanoid corpse.
Regardless of the body the revenant uses as a vessel,
its adversary always recognizes the revenant for what
it truly is.
Hunger for Revenge. A revenant has only one year to
exact revenge. When its adversary dies, or if the revenant
fails to kill its adversary before its time runs out, it
crumbles to dust and its soul fades into the afterlife. If its
foe is too powerful for the revenant to destroy on its own,
it seeks worthy allies to help it fulfill its quest.
Divine]ustice. No magic can hide a creature pursued
by a revenant, which always knows the direction and
distance between it and the target of its vengeance. In
cases where the revenant seeks revenge against more
than one adversary, it pursues them one at a time,
starting with the creature that dealt it the killing blow.
If the revenant's body is destroyed, its soul flies forth to
seek out a new corpse in which to resume its hunt.
Undead Nature. A revenant doesn't require air, food,
drink, or sleep.
