Revenant up

[Morrus]

Their hands and feet have harder skin, darkening to gray scales similar to a raven's.

The ravens in Brazil have scales? Now that's scary!

The skin on the legs and feet of birds is scalelike. And if we wanted to get really technical feathers are a form of modified scales.

We barely have ravens. Instead we have caracaras:

The Caracara Queen lacks some oomph, does it not?

Past Life is cute, but ultimately leads to feat tax. Most racial feats boost that race's racial power. For the Revenant to qualify for those feats, it needs a "Get the Race's racial power" feat. And then they have to decide between using the Revenant's racial power OR the Past Life racial power. Beyond feats, there aren't that many racial PPs/ED to begin with, so meh.

I felt it looked weak too, but my first thought when seeing Past Life was "Whee, Action Surge!" Or whatever the great human feat is.

Lost in the Crowd and Underfoot (both halfling feats) look good too and give me visions of a cheerful halfling coming back from death as Mr. Bilbo Grimdark von Reallygrim.

I've been seeing on messageboards the obvious references to the Crow, but reading the part about memory flashes from your past guiding you, the movie that came to my mind was Memento. Seeing as how that is one of my all time favorite movies, that gives me a ton of fun ideas for a revenant PC. Maybe past life memories are elusive - they appear, but fade quickly, so you could even work in the tattooing side of things.

My first thought was of the Man With No Name from Sergio Leone's movies. And anyone thinking I just dated myself will be dead wrong.

Hmm... Revenant (Human) Rogue/Crossbow Sniper/Dark Wanderer with the Two-Fisted Shooter feat?

Awesome!

Revenants can also get access to those pretty good racial weapon training feats.
