- Unkillable D&D 5e Character Builds
Nerdarchy sets out to do a 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons character build that is super hard to kill by reducing their hit points down to zero. We look at all the different 5e D&D character races as well as the 5th edition D&D character classes to create an unkillable character build.

XP to Level 3 says that the Relentless Rage makes the Barbarian a anime character. "My anger keeps me alive!"
Who wants......................(O_o)
My best way of avoiding death has always been to not be the parent of a PC.
japphan I have a player who was formed from a pool of writhing flesh such that he has no parents.
Even so he has daddy issues.
Touche pussycat.
Nerdarchist Dave
@@deplorablemecoptera3024 damn son
I mean I play wizards despite the mass hatred at times I generally don't have issues. Lots of interesting interactions in game and ways to stay up or ways to make sure you never left.
Hey my last PC had a bunch of living family INCLUDING parents
1:13 ~ Relentless Endurance (Half-Orc)
3:25 ~ Relentless Rage (Barbarian)
4:08 ~ Rage beyond death (Barbarian-Zealot)
5:05 ~ Death Ward (Cleric spell)
5:40 ~ Strength before death (Fighter-Samurai)
6:50 ~ Mastery of Death (Monk- Way of the long death)
7:33 ~ Strength of the Grave (Shadow Sorcerer)
8:20 ~ Searing Vengeance (Warlock Celestial)
8:58 ~ Best combo
There's also "The Undying" patron of the Warlock; both Celestial & Undying + Pact of the Chain with the "Gift of the Ever-Living Ones" Invocation is excellent.
PotC/GotE-LO + Celestial's "Healing Light" with at least an 18 Charisma, you'll automatically heal yourself for 24 HP per Bonus Action, with a 20 Charisma you'll be healing yourself for 30 HP per Bonus Action.
PotC/GotE-LO + Undying's "Defy Death" (Level 6) - Whenever you stabilize a creature with "Spare the Dying" or pass on a Death ST, 1/Long Rest you'll be able to regain 8 + Con [normally it's 1d8 + Con].
PotC/GotE-LO + Undying's "Indestructible Life" (Level 14) - 1/Rest, on your turn you can use a Bonus Action to regain 22+ HP [normally it's 1d8 + Warlock Level (14+)]
Then again, 3 Levels Warlock [to get PotC & GotE-LO] + Any Class that can heal themselves using Dice Rolls can become Self-Healing "Gods". Plus if the Warlock "summons" a Familiar that can fly, they can have it use the Help Action within 5' of a target allow any Rogues in the Group to get good opportunities to pull off Sneak Attacks.
Best option is to know the 8th level Necromancy spell Clone from the Wizard spell list
@@patheronaetherson2860 yeah but then it doesnt guarrantee YOU getting to 0 health
It does, however, make it so that in the unlikely event that you die, your soul (provided that it is free and willing), goes into the clone, that can be a younger version of yourself, and is identical to your original body in every way, including ability scores, class features, and memories. It's a safe guard against death that's viable indefinitely after the 120 day incubation period so long as the vessel is undisturbed
@@crustybomb115 Also, why would you ever want a guarantee to reach 0 hp?
Ki is pronounced like the word 'key'.

Thank you
But is 'Key' pronounced 'kee' or 'kai' ?

How to not die in three easy steps
Step 1: Be an elf
Step 2: 18 levels of druid
Step 3: live for 7,000+ years
If you can convince your dm you can technically start at 18 years old since elf’s mature at the same rate as humans but just kind of hangout in their Mums basement for 80 or so years
@@dittmar104 Yeah, and if you have a really really nice dm you could use the half dragon template in the monster manual, and then be a half dragon elf, one of the things the template does is double your lifespan, boom 14,000 years old
@@DriaEpley1431 and then drink that age reducing potion
Oath of Ancients Paladin can literally live forever. His class feature makes him immune to the effects of Age - and in his case it includes dying from old age.
If your a level twenty wizard just dial up vecna and ask how you become a lich
I still like the zealot barbarian/celestial warlock combination, specifically because zealot just won't die until his rage ends and celestial warlock at first level has a healing ability that is not a spell so you can still technically use it. Paladin's lay on hands would also work.
Oh and also pact of the chain for the Gift of the Ever-Living Ones, maximizing the healing you receive from any source. That's the primary reason I prefer warlock over paladin, druid, or any other class with a non-spell healing subclass feature. It's just too bad there isn't a special familiar that seems fitting to the celestial patron, though I suppose you could always use the imp stats and reflavor it as your "shoulder angel." But even a celestial cat or fox would work for the build.
Of course, Warlock, Paladin, etc. require you to build sub-optimally for a high level barbarian in order to multiclass. Fighter 1 gets you second wind which accomplishes the same thing, and fighter uses the same stats as barbarian.
"KAI POINTS" who else is dying from this
So white...
@@M0ebius am white, call it kee points. Not a white thing
Still a white thing buddy
@@Darknight4434 not really how it works buddy, if one white guy does it that doesn't mean all white guys do - i've never heard it before in the uk.
It’s white to pronounce it correctly? Japanese-Hawaiian here. 気 is the word. き is the hiragana spelling. Ki is the romaji spelling. Kee is the pronunciation.
I could be wrong, but I think you guys missed one. Paladin: Oath of the Ancient ... Undying Sentinel at level 15

Monks of the Long Death were always wicked to roleplay but with these 5ed abilities they are really monsters to rollplay.
We got almost TPKed by a adult blue dragon at 12th level - paladin was down, cleric failed 3 death saving throws(one from AOEDmg), sorcerer and rogue were cowering in a corner while monk got bashed 5 straight rounds by the dragon after which the dragon suspected foul play and ran away confused, angry and scared.
That sounds uncharacteristic of a blue dragon. Your sure it wasnt something another creature? Lol
Don’t forgot the clone spell.
Just don't mix it up with the colon spell...
That's a mistake you only make once...

Revised maximum anti death Character equation
Half orc + 20 levels of long death monk + death ward cast upon them = 22 instances of "why won't you die already???"""
At which point the attacker dies of exhaustion before half-orc monk actually dies. Also pretty sure there's a magic item or feat that further's this
My favorite combination for an "unkillable character" must be the (thematic compatible) combination of an Aasimar (Protector) with ( 15th level Barbarian - Way of the Zealot + 4th level Paladin - Oath of Devotion + 1st level Sorcerer - Divine Soul.
Key factors:
- Relentless Rage (lvl 11 Barbarian): *Every time you hit 0 you make DC10 (+5 per times used per short or long rest) to go to 1 instead.*
- Rage Beyond Death (lvl 14 Zealot Barbarian): *Not dying as long as you rage.*
- Presistant Rage (lvl 15 Barbarian): *Your rage doesn't end early.*
- Lay on Hands (lvl 1 Paladin): *You can as an action heal (touch) based on your LoH point pool (5x paladin level).*
- Favored by the Gods (1st lvl Divine Soul Sorcerer): *You can add 2d4 to any missed attack or failed saving throw once per short or long rest).*
- Healing Hands (Aasimar): *Healing (touch) equal to your level once per long rest.*
Note:
This build is made to be flavourable and fun, thematic and balanced between living and dealing damage. In this comment I focused just on the "longjevity aspects" of it, but I think it's way solid enough to be able to *live whatever for 9 turns, spend an action to stabilize with LoH or HH (as you can do that while raging) on the 10th turn, to then start all over again.*
This can be done for a total of 21 minutes of fighting after initially DYING!
And to then being able to combine Smites while Raging with a Sacted Weapon (Channel Divinity), and Flying with wings at a speed of 30f with big bonus damage, attacking Recklessly for advantage, with extra attack. On top of that taking the Feats: Great Weapon Master + Sentinel...
At 20th level, with 20 atk, 14 Cha, wielding a +3 Greataxe, Sacred Weapon, Radiant Soul (wings etc.):
1 Weapon Attack
(to hit: +11 with GWM and SW during Rage)
1d12 + 8 slashing + 3 slashing (rage bonus at 15th level Barbarian) + 10 slashing (GWM) + 20 radiant (level 20 RS)
= *1d12 + 41* (at advantage if recklessly attacking, EVERY HIT)
Max damage: *53*
Average damage: *48*
And then on a Critical Hit, pumping in Divine Smite + Brutal Critical:
2x(1d12 + 3d8) + 41 + 2d12
Max possible Crit damage: *137*
Average Crit damage: *99*
tl;dr
You will LIVE, and stuff will DIE (in the name of the Gods)
~You're wellcome
I am forced to make sure you realize once your character is dead, there is no stabilization that can happen. You are dead, healing yourself fails. So once path of the zealot is dead, it is dead once the rage ends. That being said, there still shouldn't be a party that dies when their barbarian takes enough damage away from the party in order to actually die, which means your barbarian should easily be revivable.
Why fly when you can cast Find Steed and have 100 ft. move speed?
The lucky feat or cutting words. Causing the attack to miss altogether.
Yea while great didn't really fulfill the requirements we set at the beginning of the video.
Nerdarchist Dave
Just found your channel and after about the first thirty seconds im in love. Nerdly
This reminds me of a video I once found (but, can't anymore) that was a 4e build that was focused on Ridiculously High AC!
How not to die, ever:
Step 1: level 20 druid, preferably moon.
Step 2: .......
Not only do you have a longer lifespan, you basically have infinite temporary hitpoints. Unless something one taps you, you can just keep coming back. I think you get more HP from spore druid though because you get 5 temp hp per druid level IIRC. Unless there's some high CR beast who has more.
@@justas423 technically there are a few high CR beasties that beat out the maximum temp HP from spore druid, chiefly the Mammoth. However, spore druid symbiotic form does have a notable advantage over the moon druid form. Since it's temporary HP and not a new pool, like the usual wild shape is....that means that you are not affected by high level death spells in the same way as you would in a normal wild shape. Since spore druid uses stacked temp HP rather than a new form, a death spell like Power Word Kill would not kill you in spore form, like it would kill a mammoth in wild shape form after a few hits.
Thanks for the Revilo plug, @Nerdarchy !! Means the world!
Doing the ruthless math
A half orc + lv1 shadow sorcerer, + 7 levels cleric + 12 levels death monk = 15 cases of "fight for your life", otherwise known as 15 extra hitpoints
Enemies: why aren't you dead yet? I've fired a dozen shots into your head point blank. They were even sneak attack, sharpshooter battle master crossbow expert bolts
Death month...

Druid wildshape circle of moon. Technically in wildshape you go to 0 and just go back to your regular shape. Plus I believe at one point a druid gets infinite wildshapes
Iseitaku2 it’s at level 20, but be warned: If a Druid’s wildshape is below 100HP and targeted by a powerword kill, it’ll kill the Druid.
@@ascapedgoat8462 did not know that
@@OniLODSamuraiFan same goes for Disintegrate if the shape drops to 0 they, as in the druid, also turn into dust
@@ascapedgoat8462 stupid rule but technically true
@@theflameofcorruption984 Gonna rule no on that one, since technically if you're reduced to 0 in wild shape you revert forms and then take the leftover damage, thus not being at 0 hp. If they hit 0 hp they are turned to ash, but they revert before this takes effect and are no longer at 0
Your shirts are hot fire today 😎 love it keep up the great content
Revilo looks really original! Very worth checking out!
Yup that's what we find so striking about it.
Nerdarchist Dave
I would be taking lucky as a feat because it's so good to begin with and it also can let you functionally avoid death with replacing rolls.
Wow, I'd so totally skipped over Half Orc as a player race, I'd never even noticed "Relentless Endurance", that's a pretty amazingly useful ability. Definitely making me consider a Half Orc next time I make a character, thanks.
0:17 that face when
also if you go with 1 rank of fighter then you can use your second wind ability to reset your saving throws
My favorite way to defy death comes in the form of the Clone spell.
You build a secluded location, put some of your flesh in a jar, and never fear death
LOL Man, Ted saying he's tired of his character always dying instantly gave me flashbacks to when you guys ran the Maze of Mandoon piece in the "Micro Celeb" group and Ted's Character constantly being beaten on by the Minotaur lol.
Hey Nerdarchy is you go with a few levels of bard you can use the bardic inspiration dice to pad the relentless rage rolls I imagine
Nope, bards can't use their inspiration on themselves. You need to partner with a friend whose a bard to make that work.
I actually decided to build something like this just a few dats ago for a new campaign, it’s not the best way, but I’m doing half orc warlock with 2-3 levels of fighter and the undying patron
Or just be a Wizard. “You didn’t kill me, that was my Simulacrum. Ok, you killed me but I have a clone ready to go in my Demiplane. The first thing my clone is going to do is cast Wish to create another clone...”
You win lmfao
Simulacrum is made of ice so no way to misidentify it
@@FLEASPIRIT13 Maybe use some disguise spell/item/ability ... ?
You overlooked the druid turning into a boar or Dire Boar staying up as a boar before turning back to a druid
That's a good one.
Nerdarchist Dave
ORC BECOME FOUR LEG ORC. THEN ORC. THEN FOUR LEG ORC AGAIN. THREE NO DIES.
@@SolarFlairIsBestPony You actually don't have to return back into the orc to use the racial orc relentless endurance. If you check out shapeshifti g rules it states the you retain all class and racial features if the new form is physically capable of using the abilities So Orc Shadow sorcerer lvl1 Moon druid 2. You can turn into a boar. Try to use Shadow Sorcerer Strength of the Grave save to zombie resist droping out of boar form. If pass great, if fail and damage under 7 hp use boar Relentless. If damage over 7 use Orc Relentless Endurance. Then next time try and use the Strength of the Grave again! It states that you only lose this feature if you pass with it not if you fail. Giving you at least 3 times probably 4 times at character level 3 (due to 2 shapeshifts) that your character drops out of boar form. That is one stubborn pig!
I mean I was makin' a joke real late at night, but you are right :P
7:00 You both said Ki with a long I...you trolling us?
Love that shirt Dave is rockin'
Don't fear the reaper, be the reaper and raise an army of undead as a meat wall to keep yourself from dying in the first place and just constantly misty step during combat.
Multiclass with wizard and sorceror to gain the animate dead spells and convert sorcery points to spell slots for your survival spells.
Why not just be a wizard at that point? They get as many spells back on a short rest as a sorcerer of the same level would get from spending all their sorcery points on spell slots.
Wizards get their spells from a short rest but sorcerors can convert slots from sorcery points as a bonus action.
My whole party down: help!
BBEG: your paladin can't save you now...
My paladin standing back up with relentless endurance: you done goofed...
Oath of Ancients Paladin has a 15th level feature called Undying Sentinel. Pretty much works the same as the Half-Orc ability. Enjoyed the video otherwise!
Awesome! We knew we'd probably miss something somewhere.

instant sub
@Nerdarchy
Following your recommendations, I have put together a half orc Shadow sorc 1/Nature domain 7/long death 12 in DDB.
I chose nature domain in order to nab shillelagh, allowing for a more wisdom focused build, assuming that the Long Death monk would use flurry of blows less often than other monks in a dangerous combat.
I think however, that this is not the best way to do this.
The long death ability requires no save and preparation, making it highly superior to the sorcerer ability which requires a save.
Additionally, getting to level 14 gets you diamond soul - proficiency in all saves (including Death Saves), and 1 ki to reroll.
THAT plus the extra ki points make this a much better way to save your skin and stave off death.
In terms of Resource cost and effectiveness, ultimately I think that Half Orc Long Death, possibly taking magic initiate, is the best way to build it.
However: Death ward can negate other instant death effects, which long death does not. That is a pretty huge investment for death ward though, when your party SHOULD have a cleric, and it keeps you from getting Diamond Soul. The options are: 7/13 or x/14
Second Wind is a low level fighter abililty. That's pretty good, for something low, combined with celestial warlock.
Just use the level 20 24 hour invulnerability meme build.
All you need is level 3 in sorcerer and level 17 in wizard, use spell slots to get to 8 sorcery points and use the extend metamagic on the invulnerability spell.
Combine with every buff to the concentration (constitution) save you can get, including the lucky feat
Keeeeey! It's KEY!
Another way I've seen: Be the DM's wife.
:(
Or girlfriend...though it is fun to watch that character be killed when they break up.
man not my old dm. his wife was playing for the first time, and we made it 9 levels before it went down. we were kind of holding her hand through the whole campaign. she wasn't great at the mechanics of the game, but we loved her and we wanted her to stick with it so we protected her. well, one day, our 2nd in command baddy got the drop on us, did some stuff, and we chased her off, but right before she buzzed totally off she left a parting gift. she did some psionic mind blasty bullshit and KILLED OUR FRIEND, the dm's wife. he cast a save or die on his newbie wife, after giving her like 8 months to fall in love with this character she had! what an asshole =P
the newer players in the group were sad, but they understood it was done for effect, and that death is always a possibility for all of us. my buddy (dm's best friend) and i were veterans, and after the game when it was just the three of us, we had to make sure the dm knew he was a heartless bastard lol
That was my worry about starting this campaign I'm on with my buddy DMing and his wife is a PC. My worries were quelched when she was knocked out first in our first boss fight.
If the DM's significant other is playing and the DM is showing favoritism in favor of that person, then you need a new DM. Period.
Pure Panphobia if a DM is showing obvious favoritism in general...
Half Orc:
Monk 14, Way of the long death
Then you either dip your remaining levels into Moon Druid for self heal and more HP, or continue as a monk for +1 "I'm not dying" per level with proficiency in death saves when you run out.
What happened the undying warlock from scag
Am I missing something? I'm looking for a link to this build, but while there are about 15 other links, I can't find one to D&DBeyond. The visual makes things much easier for me to follow along with, but I can't find it or any of the others. Any help would be appreciated!
Just started DnD 5e and been looking into this kinda stuff anyone got any advice on how to make a Terrasqe a PC?
Can you place healing word in a contingency? I am thinking bard with contingency from magic secrets.
I don't see why not.
Nerdarchist Dave
You cannot, but you can put Cure Wounds in Contingency. It specifies a cast time of 1 action.
Does the undying warlock not count? They get death ward, as well as defy death.
7 levels of cleric for death ward vs seven more levels of monk which gives 7 more ki points and really good abilities like prof in all saving throws? I think pure way of the long death is the way to go my dudes
What about spells like disintegrate? Ones that destroy the body upon death? Would death ward etc still be effective? Or would this be a ruling by a dm?
I usually say make a con check against the casters DC to see if your body isn't completely disintegrated. The only exception to this is a critical hit which is basically death with a min damage of 60+40×2 which is 100 damage (if you roll all 1s for damage) I do it this way because disintegrate is quite a harsh spell for my group as a slain creature can only be restored to life through the Wish or True Resurrection spells which are both late game spells while disintegrate can be encoutered as early as level 14.
No need for a DM ruling because RAW is pretty clear that Death Ward stops Disintegrate from killing you. Death Ward's "would... instead" clause results in Disintegrate's "if" clause never triggering.
@@mclark347 diamond cheers :)
Could you do a video on all the ways to get advantage on attac? I have a rogue that I'd like to play smarter. 🙏please 😉
It's definitely a possibility.
Nerdarchist Dave
The easiest way to get the advantage is to be on the opposite side of another player who is fighting a monster.
The rule for it is called flanking and it gives you advantage on attacks and is 100% reliable and allows you to sneak attack off of it.
Once per short word, you can spend 1 ki point and make a pronounciation saving throw. :P
Warforged Forge Clerics!!!!
I find it funny that the closed captions only does Portuguese. Despite me being in the US with English settings.
I might have gone Revanant for Race & Zealot Barbarian for class...or Moon Druid if starting at level 20 like for a 1 shot or something.
Wait does this mean that goblin slayer is actually a dual class of fighter and barbarian
did you see those eyes of his? if that's not a way of representing Rage idk what is
In a similar vein to this thread. I've been using a character who keeps party members alive...
Wizard>Abjuration>Magic initiate (into cleric)> Healing word & spare the dying> False life> (lvl 7) polymorph
The point of the character isn't to act like the party's healer or tank. At least that's not how I play it. The point is, Oh a teammate is going to take enough damage to drop? I absorb just enough of that to prevent them from going down. If someone does go down, healing word and false life can both be used in the same turn to bring 2 teammates back up. And as a last resort, a teammate at 0 hp makes a really nice TREX with polymorph.
Now I know if I go half orc I can save myself the same as a teammate. Though it's rare I need to, between the abjuration free hp and false life and self heals my character has sometimes hundreds of hp in any given combat.
Some other things I've been wanting to try for the "savior" is Going druid for more low level healing spells, and healing spirit at second level.
Now thanks to this video I know to go half orc and take 1 level of barbarian. So I can use ALL of my shield stuff on low health party members.
See hp doesn't matter except the last one, so long as I keep party members above 0 they can keep fighting until we win. And this character does that really well. Even more now.
Might also go 1 level of shadow sorcerer at later levels.
The Lucky feat to improve your roll odds when you finally have to make them
Although at level 15 barbarians get persistent rage, so they have a full minute of what is essentially immortality, and In that minute (which feels like forever in combat) you can find your party healer and get some heals
Level 20 druid. According to RAW, a moon druid can use their wildshape as a bonus action and being level 20 gives them unlimited wildshapes. This means the druid could turn into, say, an earth elemental and just make sure he stays above 100 hitpoints so that some lich can't PWK him. It's gonna take something BIG to drop that druid out of wildshape and drop his HP to 0. Even a tarrasque's swallow ability wouldn't work, because they can just shift back and forth inside the tarrasque's belly, keeping them alive and negating the acid damage.
I mean, if you want the highest number possible, straight barbarian should take the cake - unlimited usage of rage would mean unlimited usage of that subclass ability, right?
Warforged 20th level Zealot Barbarian.
The not dying effect only ends when your rage does because your 20th level your you have infinite amount of rages. so you could just keep raging remaining alive. your a warforged so you don't need to sleep to rest and I would argue that you can still be angry while you're resting. But even if the DM doesn't allow that you could remain alive for days before the exhaustion kills you
I think warforged are inmune to exhaustion
@@gabrielfardella1232 I don't think that they're immune to exhaustion but if they are they would make an amazing beserker
Infinite rages doesn't mean rage never ends, just that you can put it back up every time it does. You can still go out of rage if you run out of targets.
@@deplorablemecoptera3024 level 15 says that your rage only ends if you go unconscious or you choose to end it. And in Sage advice they said that you can expend another use of Rage while you're raging to effectively restart it. ( or at least that's what I've been told I didn't read it myself)
@@gabrielfardella1232 is partially right, they are immune to exhaustion by way of not resting, but are not immune to the effect
If you are playing with injuries rules from the DM Manual, each "Drop to 0 hit points" will be an Injury. With this combo maybe you will end without arms, legs and all that stuff. That's funny.
I just had my first Character Death after 3 1/2 years of playing him, so I came here.
But where do Ted & Dave get those wonderful shirts?
Would a Wizard’s Clone spell count? Technically didn’t die since you immediately jump into one of your new bodies
You missed the Paladin oath of the ancients Undying Sentinel
The unding warlock i believe has abilities from death
It does at level 6
Play the curse of staud as an evil cleric or wizard. There's a way to become a lich in it. As long as your phylactery is ok you keep coming back. :D what cha guys think?
You must be a wizard that is able to cast 9th level spells to get it so that is at least 17 levels of wizard to get the ability to create the phylactery.
Get lucky feat.
It raise death safe surviveability from 55% to 94%. If you safe all 3 dice until death. And you dont get hit while down.
Be zealot barbarian light self on fire
=immortal
You forgot the simple way of have both a life and grave cleric in the party
No magic items? One character wears a ring that grants both regeneration and vampiric regeneration. Baring a vorpal blade that he fails to parry he keeps on and on.

Mention of Barbarians reminded me of Disney's old animated series Dave the Barbarian. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you watch a few episodes. With that said, do you think you will get around to doing a show/character breakdown for Dave the Barbarian like what you're doing for the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. Dave the Barbarian is a comedic, sometimes absurdist, take on the High Fantasy genre. Looking back on things, I can honestly say that it seems like each of the characters in the show can seem like they are jabs at characters you hear about from other players or just amusing takes on stories about things that happened at someone's game table. And, for those who have no idea what I'm talking about, here's the opening for the series th-cam.com/video/BQv16Q0doRY/w-d-xo.html
What about monk - way of mercy
Whenever you get tired of your team mates getting lycanthropy and killing your character
What about death knight subclass you could get it at level five.
you are classified as a superior undead and when you are killed you are sent to the negative energy plane for 24 hours and then sent back to the material plane where you were killed at are the next free adjacent space
10:43 is it "key" or "kai"?!
I don't know about the whole Dead monk vs Zealot barbarian. The barbarian still do more dmg that a Monk that only use his ki point for death save.
You're forgetting undying sentinel (oath of ancients)
0:17 "Now you tell me"
Um... Undying warlock?
Starting at 6th level, you can give yourself vitality when you cheat death or when you help someone else cheat it. You can regain hit points equal to 1d8 + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1 hit point) when you succeed on a death saving throw or when you stabilize a creature with Spare the Dying.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
They also get the defy death spell, if you really want to go overboard with the "Nope I'm only mostly dead" sort of deal
Defy Death
3rd-level necromancy (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a pinch of graveyard dirt)
Duration: 1 hour
You touch a willing creature and put it into a cataleptic state that is indistinguishable from death.
For the spell’s duration, or until you use an action to touch the target and dismiss the spell, the target appears dead to all outward inspection and to spells used to determine the target’s status. The target is blinded and incapacitated, and its speed drops to 0. The target has resistance to all damage except psychic damage. If the target is diseased or poisoned when you cast the spell, or becomes diseased or poisoned while under the spell’s effect, the disease and poison have no effect until the spell ends.
Spell Lists. Bard, Cleric, Druid, Wizard
Add magic intiate feats for addtional healing spells and you have a solid character
Want to make an NPC that will respond to a bounty being put on the party's heads; however, when it comes to dead or alive, this hunter worships the god of death.
Barbarian Zealot 14 / Grassland Druid 6
Rage + Haste then when you get low HP, Healing Spirit
Rage prevents Concentration and you can only concentrate on one spell at a time, so Rage, or Haste, or Healing Spirit. Only one at a time
I mean, if you allow UA.... There's the Phoenix Sorcerer. And I don't know for certain, cause it's 20+ freaking pages, but I'd be willing to bet Mystic has SOMETHING up it's sleeves.
Yeah, at level 20 if they die they roll a d20, and if it's a ten or more they come back to live in 1d3 days
Yep, at level 20 if you die you roll a d20 if it's a 10 or higher you come back to life in one d3 days, immortal mystic sauce to get to spend five psi points to not die

What about a revent that betrayed itself.
Cant get killed if you're already an undead warlock
I made a barbarian/celestial warlock, so I can heal myself while raging.
