I'd post something detailed, but I'm about to drop dead from one part exhaustion and one part marathoning Kamen Rider Den-O.
In any case, Revenants are a +2 Dex/Con Race that count as Undead for Undead related keywords, but are still living unless they take Death's Blessing (Heroic, Revenant Prereq. You no longer need to eat, drink, or breathe, so you never need to make Endurance checks to resist the effects of starvation, thirst, and suffocation. You are no longer considered a living creature.). They also get to count as a single race for the purpose of feats, paragon paths, and epic destinies, though if they call for a power or specific racial ability in question you have to take the [Race] Soul feat and hope it has what you're looking for. In addition, if you hit 0, you can choose to reain concious till you roll a death saving throw. If you do, however, you can take a standard action before attempting the DST (They also get a buncha death saving throw related feats). Their racial's a free action triggered off of a creature within 5 squares of you reaching 0 HP, which allows you to deal an additional 1d8+con necrotic damage with the next attack you make. There's an epic feat that gives you two uses of this. Also remember the bit about soul feats? You can use your racial encounter OR that race's racial power per encounter.
Now that I'm done spoiling half the race in vagueish words...
Opinions?
I rather like the race myself mechanically and fluffwise, it's not bad either. The Racial Paragon Path and Epic Destiny are also pretty solid.
P.S: My strength have made you cry! Wipe your tears with this!
