Dead Magic Dweller

You were on the run from a spellcaster or monster that relies on magic. With nowhere to run from, you fled to a Dead Magic Zone. Your new home was as much your sanctuary as it was your prison. In it you were forged into a new being full of hard won survival skills and knowledge. Having been armed with new skills you have ventured back out into the world.

Features

Magic Sensitivity

Having been away from magic for so long you can sense if someone can cast a spell after one minute of talking with them and you can tell if an object is magical by touch. You cannot divine any other information than the presence of magic. You can sense areas of Dead Magic when you are within 1 mile of them.

Last Resort

You have trained your mind and body in the event that your nemesis catches up to you. When you fail a saving throw from a spell or magical effect, you can use your reaction to succeed on the saving throw instead. When you use this feature you cannot use it again until you have completed 1D4 long rests.

Arcane Enemy (1D8)

Your enemy is a powerful spellcaster or magic creature that you have run afoul of. 1- A powerful Jin has set its sights on you. 2- An order of wizards has it out for you. 3- A Lich seeks your soul specifically for unknown purposes. 4- A coven of Hags was promised your life by someone you trusted. 5- You awoke a Dracolich from its slumber. 6- A Necromancer seeks to add your corpse to its horde. 7- You signed a bad deal with a Fey. 8- A summoning spell went wrong and now a Fiend is after your soul.

Dead Magic Zone (1D8)

Dead Magic Zones can appear anywhere for a number of reasons. The main defining factor is that wherever they appear, they are hostile to all that use magic and become harsh places where the gods cannot maintain balance and heal. Here is where you found your home. 1- A frigid tundra devoid of life. 2- A barren desert with nothing but sand and rocks. 3- A toxic swamp, barely able to sustain life. 4- A land of eternal darkness, holding horrors that should never be spoken aloud. 5- A desecrated and profane temple, forever doomed to be apart from the Weave. 6- A craggy, lonely mountain far from civilization. 7- A massive and deep crater formed from an unknown yet unimaginably powerful attack that forever scarred the land and the Weave itself. 8- A perilous island that no one can seem to find, even if they have been there before.

3	I hate magical items, they can’t be trusted and those who rely on them are idiots.
