Angelborn Lineage
“Always thank the healer. I am not sure how this phrase entered into my archive.”

Good is often a point of view. Angelborn are mortals who have had the concept of good imprinted into their DNA. Sometimes angelborn are champions of justice, but other times they are interested in personal pursuits much like any other mortal. The only constant in these people is an ability to heal wounds for themselves and others.
Angelborn Calling
Many Angelborn are born with a desire to have a positive impact on their world. This desire to do good can manifest in various ways. You can choose to roll on the Angelborn Callings table, choose an option from that table, come up with your own, or decide that your character does not have one of these callings.

Celestial Resistance. You have resistance to necrotic damage and radiant damage.
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness as shades of gray.
Focused Regeneration. As an action, you can heal your own wounds. Roll 2d4 and add your Constitution modifier. You regain a number of hit points equal to the total (minimum of 1). Once you have used this trait, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
Healing Acceleration. As an action, you can touch another creature to accelerate their natural healing, letting them spend a Hit Die to heal. The creature rolls the die, adds their Constitution modifier, and regains a number of hit points equal to the total (minimum of 1). In addition, the creature regains hit points equal to 1d4 plus your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (your choice, minimum 1). You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain expended uses when you finish a long rest.
