'''Reborn''' are a playable race for [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]] introduced in [[Van Richten's Guide]] to [[Ravenloft]], the 5e revamp version of the [[Demiplane of Dread]], although they predated in the [[Unearthed Arcana]] article "Gothic Lineages".

To put it bluntly, you died. Fortunately, you stopped being dead and are now basically undead and/or a flesh golem.

==PC Stats==
As a "Lineage" race, reborn don't come with a preset ability score modifier like traditional races, and instead get to take either +2/+1 or +1/+1/+1 to whatever stats they like. They can also choose if they are Medium or Small sized.

In the Unearthed Arcana version, they had these racial traits:
::Type: Humanoid AND either Construct or Undead
::Darkvision 60 feet
::Deathless Nature: You have advantage against poison, disease, and ''[[Necron|death saving throws]]'', and you don't need to eat, drink, breathe, or sleep. You can also finish a long rest by staying still for four hours.
::Knowledge from a Past Life: You get to add a d6 to a skill check a number of times per day equal to your proficiency bonus.

The race was reprinted in ''Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft'' with some slight modifications. Most notably, the Lineage only has one creature type, so that was probably just some weird one-off experiment that was immediately abandoned. 

::Type: Humanoid
::Ancestral Legacy: If you replace a race with this lineage, you can choose to keep proficiencies and/or movement speeds granted by that race. If you don't, you get two free proficiencies.
::Darkvision 60 feet
::Deathless Nature and Knowledge from a Past Life are both unchanged from the original UA.
