[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 4827941, member: 40359"] Finally got a chance to read it, and I like it - mostly for the fluff. Although I have no problem with the crunch, it just doesn't stand out from other fun races as much as the fluff does for me. 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. (Oh, and I also couldn't help but think of Nameless from Planescape: Torment as well. that seemed to be a good angle to use for inspiration if people wanted a different angle than emo-birdman.) I would love to have a revenant PC in my campaign now and develop and elaborate mystery to their past life that unfolds over the campaign (and have it actually resolve more action-movie like Crow than drama like Memento without going into spoilers).
