===Lost Eidolon Traits===

*'''''Ability Score Increase:''''' Increase one ability score by 2, and increase a different one by 1, or increase three different scores by 1.

*'''''Eidolon Form:''''' Choose one Lost Eidolon Form: this determines your size, movement speeds, senses, and the items you may use.

*'''''Eidolon Type:''''' Choose one Lost Eidolon Type: This determines your creature type, and gives you benefits as described below.

*'''''Otherworldly Nature:''''' Your physical form isn't entirely of this world, giving you the following benefits:
:*You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.
:*You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
:*You are immune to disease.
:*You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep.

*'''''Cosmic Dissonance:''''' You are slightly out of phase with reality, holding onto it by the barest thread - Your Vessel. You have Vulnerability to Force damage.

*'''''Eidolon Vessel:''''' Every Lost Eidolon is tied to an object, called an Eidolon Vessel. This object can take any form, though it's typically a sealed box or bottle, a jewel or necklace, or a doll or figurine. Regardless of its form, this Vessel is a Tiny object with an AC equal to 14 + your Proficiency Bonus, and has hit points equal to 10 + 5 times your character level. It is Immune to Poison and Psychic damage, but Vulnerable to Force damage. When you expend a Hit Dice during a Short or Long Rest, you can choose any amount of hit points regained from Hit Dice to be transferred to your Vessel if it is on your person while you rest, restoring its hit points instead of your own; additionally, casting the ''Mending'' spell on it restores 2d6 hit points to it.

:Whenever you would be reduced to 0 hit points (But not slain outright), banished from your current plane of existence (Such as via ''Banishment'' or ''Dispel Evil and Good''), or whenever you begin a Long Rest, you and all of your equipment dissolve into misty ectoplasm and retreat into your Vessel; While inside your Vessel, you cannot be targeted by any attack or effect, are immune to damage, you are Incapacitated, cannot move or speak, and you cannot sense any of your surroundings. If you entered your Vessel as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, you automatically stabilize. 

:Once you enter your Vessel, you remain there until you have at least 1 hit point, or until you finish a Long Rest (Whichever comes first), at which point you may use your Action to exit your Eidolon Vessel into any unoccupied square within 30ft of your Vessel. For the purposes of spells and effects that restore hit points, remove conditions, or return creatures from the dead, your Vessel counts as your body, allowing others to target your Vessel in order to heal or resurrect you.

:If your Eidolon Vessel is destroyed, you are instantly reduced to 0 hit points and retreat into your Vessel's broken remains. As long as at least one piece of your Vessel (At least one square inch) is intact, an hour-long ritual can be performed to restore it to 1 hit point; This ritual requires raw materials costing 10gp, the expenditure of a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, and the casting of the Mending cantrip, all of which can be supplied by any combination of the ritual's participants. 

:If your Vessel is destroyed completely, you can only be restored to life and physical form by a ''Raise Dead'', ''Resurrection'', ''True Resurrection'' or ''wish'' spell, which must be combined with the ritual above. This method creates a new Eidolon Vessel for you, which is newly formed with full hit points.

*'''''Language:''''' Lost Eidolons typically speak Common, and one other language of your choice. Typically this additional language is associated with their Eidolon Type (Celestial, Infernal, Abyssal, Primordial, Sylvan, Draconic, or Deep Speech), or another language spoken by their original master.
