  • A 5E Handbook For Life After Death

    Found a 5e book where dying is basically character progression
    In many tables, death is a speed bump. With So You Died - A 5e Undead Player's Handbook, it becomes a story. This 5e and 5.5e supplement lets you keep playing your fallen character, scars and all, with the world reacting to what you have become. Choose from eight undead ancestries, with options like skeletons, vampires, liches, and more, plus tailored subclasses, backgrounds, feats, and mechanics that feel distinct rather than just dark flavor text. Use it to run a full campaign where everyone starts dead or to carry on a single hero's tale after a costly fight. Early backers receive exclusive rewards, and every pledge helps fund final art and layout. Back So You Died - A 5e Undead Player's Handbook on Kickstarter now.
