Hollow One

Hollow Ones are those who were resurrected by strange necromantic magic, brought back without their soul but still with a sense of self.

Appearance
Hollow Ones appear the same way as they did in life. While spells or abilities that detect undead will correctly identify Hollow Ones as such, they otherwise look like living creatures.

History
The magic of Blightshore is the most common origin of Hollow Ones, and so they arose after the Calamity. They are mostly found in Wildemount, and are wholly accepted in the society of Blightshore, even making up a small but significant minority of the population of Rotthold.

Powers and abilities
Hollow Ones, as revived undead, do not age and are immune to any aging effects. They are also more likely to come back from unconsciousness unaided. And while they do appear no different than living creatures unless specifically detected by spells intended to identify undead, they can use the strangeness of their resurrection to rattle others around them, making them feel a vague sense of unease.

Notable Hollow Ones

 * Jamedi Cosko, adventurer hired by Avantika.
 * Laudna, a warlock/sorcerer and member of Bells Hells.

Trivia

 * Insects appear to be aware that Hollow Ones are undead, as they did not bother Jamedi on Urukayxl.
 * Mechanically, Hollow One is not a race but a "supernatural gift". It bestows additional qualities onto a character in addition to their base racial traits.
 * Matt played a Hollow One, Leiland, on Dimension 20's Escape from the Bloodkeep before it was published in Explorer's Guide to Wildemount. Brennan Lee Mulligan also played a Hollow One, Deadeye, on Not Another D&D Podcast before its publication.
