I now want to run a Revenant in a manner similar to how Goro Majima is used in the Yakuza games. Just shows up randomly every session or two to fist fight a party member, appearing from increasingly absurd hiding spots or out of increasingly intricate disguises, half the time during an already ongoing encounter.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you think the only way to defeat an enemy is to kill or injure them you sorely lack imagination. If I'm fighting an immortal my first instinct is to be a 1920's mobster and give them concrete shoes.

Just the shoes? They could sever their feet and escape, or just crawl dragging the dead weight. For a revenant, you'd need to prevent the body swapping to trap them. This at least means preventing from destroying the body they inhabit, assuming that's even a requirement for them to leave it.

The funny thing is, I am soon gonna start a campaign that centers around the players being a group of revenants (not the same stats from the statblock). The entire premise is that they were normal people for the most part but their small village/town got annihilated by a group of high-level murderhobos. Now the players have the task of hunting them down and killing them. The idea is that while the evil party is several levels higher (11 vs the players at lv 3), they are all assholes while the players can actually functionally work together. They will accumulate equipement, plan, and attack the party over and over, with their respawn ability allowing them to throw personal safety away if needed to secure a kill. Also, there will be a great emphasis on playing smart, targeting the enemy's weakpoints and sabotaging them. Stuff like trying to get the paladin to break their oath, stealing the casters' focuses, the rangers' arrows. Learning information about them and utilizing that to strike at their weak points. Or getting one to seperate and then dive that person in full force. Got the idea from a friend and I really want to see if this type of game can work.

In an old campaign of mine that I DMd, we had a new player who was a bugbear. The party encountered goblins and killed all but one and decided to interogate them for information. After getting this information, the new player (who was very kind) wanted to keep the goblin and treat him like a friend. The rest of the party, afraid this goblin (who was terrified that going back to his boss would be a death sentence) instead vouched to kill him. The bugbear pleaded and the party eventually agreed, saying it was the bugbears responsibility. Eventually, during a combat, the bugbear fell unconscious right before the fight ended. Instead of healing them, the party saw an opportunity and went back to his goblin friend (who had been living with them for weeks), took him down to the sewer, and all took turns ***ending them*** they burned him, flayed him, drowned him, all while the new players bugbear was unconscious. It left a sour taste in my mouth, so I brought that goblin back as a revenant and one by one did to the party what they did to him. Kidnapped the rogue, tied weights to his legs and threw him in the ocean. Kidnapped the barbarian and sent her into a fight pit surrounded by monsters alone. Burned the house of the wizard along with his wife while they slept. Great times.

What I like about the body snatching ability is that it means that a destroyed revanant, or a smart and determined one that knows about that power, could potentially possess any corpse created by whoever they are hunting. Imagine a high level party defeating a boss, only for him to get back up for another round because the revenant that has been hunting them was waiting for that opportunity, attacking while the party is tired and vulnerable from the boss fight.

to offer an explanation for why literally anyone could become a revenant, it's possible that it's not a specific magic per se, but rather their soul, unwilling to leave their body and pass on, remains in the mortal realm, and as such naturally attracts negative energy, eventually to the point that it reanimates them.

I mean... if the rules specify only a WISH spell can stop the Revenant from swapping bodies, then I dunno if Soul Cage would do the trick... perhaps if you cast it on the Revenant's INITIAL death, but then you wouldn't know they were even going to BE a revenant. Soul Cage requires the target to die, and Revenants specifically CAN'T die, meaning I'm pretty sure they'd be immune.

@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth the wish is needed to force them to pass on but they have no defense against soul trapping effects. and it does die, death doesn't necessarily mean soul destruction, its soul just possesses another body after it dies. lore-wise it'd probably be easier to capture them since they're already being bound to the material. and also it'd make sense a wizard that knew their stuff could whip up a ritual that used a dead body or parts to draw the revenant in like in TES lore drawing a dremora into inhabiting armor with a deadra heart.

Had a revenant after me in a past campaign. We used the Feign Death spell to deal with it. Upon seeing my 'corpse' that was indistinguishable from dead, magically or otherwise, the revenant believed it had missed it's chance for revenge. Disappointed, yet still satisfied that I no longer drew breath, it chose to willingly move on. I revived an hour later and it was none the wiser.

You ever have a cool NPC that you planned on having as a recurring villain for a full campaign but your party just wipes them out in one combat because of a couple of lucky critical hits? Revenants are the perfect way to solve that problem. Give your party a good number of sessions to celebrate their victory, forget about the NPC, and then drop an Unstoppable Undead version of the NPC when they least expect it. Makes for a cool side piece to a larger campaign.

BBEG of my campaign was a revenant pirate. He attacked a manor, made sure to kill at least one person with gunfire. Then waded ashore and fought in melee until he died. Then when he came back he possessed the corpse he killed on his earlier attack, snuck into the manor and killed the lord from the manors own graveyard.

In my campaign, our Ghostslayer Blood Hunter order has this tradition called a Revenant Pilgrimage, where a hunter has to track down and eliminate a revenant. Because of the way this works, this mission can take months and months, and has a lot of opportunity for really complicated narrative dynamics. A rivalry may develop, or even a sort of friendship, leading to a moral dilemma, because what if the revenant is justified in their quest for revenge? Each pilgrimage can be unique and different and has its own story with the potential to permanently change that Blood Hunter’s perspective on the world. It’s been really fun to explore that and it’s part of the reason why I love revenants

Revenant might also not work directly. Like, as a part of its work towards vengeance, it may as well go to the nearest order of paladins and give the detailed description of their murderer, then go to nearby ancient gold dragon and do the same thing. And instead of one revenant, the killer must now deal with an angry mob of people and not only. Heck, it might even find an adventuring party and ask it for help. I had an idea of side adventure where there's a revenant graveyard keeper that was unjustly burned at stake by a priest of one of the players deities. And the players get thrown into the stand off.

Revenants in our setting are not always born out of a desire for vengeance, but out of duty. The first one was a samurai, who was escorting his lord's son out in the countryside when a coup happened. He ushered the child into a small crevice and blocked it with his body, but his assailants managed to rip his throat open with a spear. Of course, this being a story about a revenant, the samurai refused to stay dead. He fought back, and refused to rest until his charge was brought back to the palace and safely installed as the new daimyo, at which point he kneeled down under a cherry tree and calmly passed away. Likewise, in the Miracle at Bone Pass, based on the seige of Osoveic Fortress, a contingent of guards returned as revenants to repulse a gnoll army, staying undead just long enough for their relief to arrive, at which point every last one of them dropped dead, with their graves already dug.

Here's an idea for a one shot revolving around a Revenant. The party is at this big party or gathering and a Revenant shows up looking for the person who killed them. Now the party isn't able to take out a revenant but luckily they're able to get it outside of the gates, but these gates won't hold forever and when the Revenant gets in they will tear apart every one to find the killer. So it turns into a big who done it to find and take care of the killer first before the Revenant gets in. And to prevent them from just asking who it was have it so the revenant is to blinded by rage or better yet there mouth is stitched shut. I don't know I thought that sounded fun.

I'm not a huge fan of the Revenant's nemesis wallhacks personally, because it means they don't have to wander, roam, and properly hunt for their prey. I like them having a strong inclination of where they *might* be, without them being able to pinpoint their target. Also, I want to run an adventure involving a Revenant which is irreconcilably furious and unable to rest in peace until they butcher their killer, except the "murder" was just an unfortunate accident. The Revenant deserves to rest, and the killer doesn't deserve to be torn apart by a vengeful revenant. There might be a way to appease the revenant's thirst for vengeance without anyone needing to die, but that's the crux of the issue.

So I knock it prone, I get the crit and I make a deal to pledge my services to Grumbar for a year so long as he imprisoned the revenant until it's soul was released. It was a spur of the moment deal fueled by a bunch of seemingly unconnected events and discussions that came together really well! Probs one of my most badass DnD moments.

That`s why you don`t kill them, you imprison them instead. Some way were they WONT be getting out. A year later, no more Revenant...

Revenants remind me so much of the Crow. There is a TTRPG called Hexxen and the Revenants in that game aren't even trying to hide it. They have the Makeup and everything. And I think that's really cool

I am currently dealing with a revenant in a game where we trade DMs. The DM who introduced the revenant doesn’t want it to trade bodies because he thinks that’s dumb, and I have decided not to fight him on this because it died right next to a dwarves barbarian last time

it'd be funny if someone came back as a revenant and just. . . didn't kill their vengeance target. Like; now they just are kind of a Lich without any phylactery, and as much time as they need to totally kill their nemesis, they swear.

Nope won't work, they get a year to off their target or they permanently turn to dust. That's why they're so desperate.

Won't work that way, they've got a year or they permanently turn to dust. However...... External magical powers like Domains of dread can keep them around so long as the target still lives. As in Curse of Strahd.

To answer your question (in the description), I was reading the description because I was wondering if the end of this video was some sort of way you were telling everyone you were going on hiatus.

I am currently running a game where my players are revenant royal guards after having been betrayed by the King's guard. They started mortal and unraveled a plot by one of the royal advisors. This advisor found out and set them up. For the first time I had a combat where my goal was to TPK. And no, I didn't tell them that was the plan. They were under the impression it was just like any other game. I felt terrible, but man they did awesome, and nearly foiled me. It made the whole thing that much more impactful when they came back. You can certainly say they have some serious motivation now.

could a lich somehow use the revenant's undying soul as an eternal capri sun?

I would assume the soul being used to power the phylactery would be effectively the same as it being destroyed.

2:10 "lets say I accidentally hit you with my car right now" eh, not personal enough. Tray backing over the victim a few more times, throwing some insults about skill issue, and then we might be talking about taking it personally.

To have a Revenant... Just Summon them in Attack Position. They're only Level 4, and have 1800 ATK which is pretty high and- oh, wait... That's Vendreads. I was thinking of Yugioh.

With the ending of the video: I imagine the next video might be about Genies... wich would be really interesting to watch since those guys are in a weird spot in existance since their Elementals who can often vibe with alot of odd creatures (Fiends, Elementals and Celestials in some odd cases). Infortunally their lore in 5e is fucking butchered and you have to go to older editions to learn more about them, their culture (wich includes how each treats their Slaves/Servants and their organization) and the general relationships between the 4 main types.

Also. how does the whole "they know where the person that killed them is" bit work considering disguises? does it work on who killed them, or who they THINK killed them? Imagine them tracking down their target only for it to not be who they thought it was.
