Tulpa as Race

OSR Discord Server Race/Race as Class Challenge - "Parasite"

I loathe race as class, so I've opted for just a race.

Tulpa You are an entity created in the mind of your host, acting independently of, and parallel to your host's own consciousness. You are able to think, and have your own free will, emotions, and memories. In short, you are like a sentient person living in your host's head, separate from them. Until today! Today, you are made flesh.

Requirements: A recently deceased PC, or a PC willingly creating a Tulpa and allowing you to take it over as a new character. Host must have an intelligence modifier of +2 or the system equivalent.

Reroll: One stat of your choosing.

 Perk: You may carry over one of your host's class features, languages, skill or tool proficiencies, etc. as long as it is a learned ability that you would be able to pick up without this perk, as opposed to an innate physical or mental ability, like bestial claws or innate spell casting.

Drawback: Re roll a stat of the DMs choosing, taking the worse result. You make reaction checks with a penalty of one - people can sense something about you just isn't quite right. This penalty increases to a penalty of two when interacting with someone who knew or knows your former host well.
