When you take a short or long rest, you must remain motionless. You treat exhaustion levels you have as if they were one level lower. Collapse. You can use an action to collapse into a pile of bones, including your worn equipment. You remain aware of your surroundings and are indistinguishable from a corpse unless divined by magical means, such as paladin’s Divine Sense or the detect good and evil spell. You can resume your normal stance and stature using a bonus action. Memory. You have advantage on Intelligence (History) checks you make to recall events from the time period in which you expired. Empty Innards. You can use your reaction to cause a critical hit against you to become a normal hit. Once you use this trait, you must finish a short rest before you can use it again.
