Veil of the Mourning Matron (Patreon)

A mourning veil of flowing black lace. When the veil is down, the wearer’s face becomes completely obscured, but a faint image of a skull can be seen in place of the wearer’s face. While wearing this item you have advantage on attacks against creatures that are frightened of you. Additionally when witnessing restless souls or hearing tales of loss, tears endlessly stream from your eyes.

Wandering Spirit. The power of the mourning matron allows you to travel through the veil between life and death. As an action, you can magically shift from your current plane to the Ethereal Plane as though by the Etherealness spell. After ten minutes or when you use a bonus action to end the effect, you return to the plane you originated from in the space you currently occupy. Once you use this property you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest unless you expend a spell slot of 5th level or higher.

Vengeful Visage. Whenever you shift from the Ethereal Plane to another plane, each creature within 15 feet of you must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, they become frightened of you until the end of your next turn. Undead succeed their save automatically.

Loneliness had drawn the man to the graveyard that fateful night. Drunk and delusional, he stumbled to the headstones of his wife and children. His taste for the drink had always caused tension with his family, as well as his employers. While traveling to a new town with prospective jobs, their wagon was caught in a blizzard. The man had ventured ahead to seek help and shelter, but by the time they returned his family had succumbed to the elements. Drowning his sorrows in liquor as he always had, he knelt at the graves, but a cold shiver let him know he was not alone. Looking up he met the gaze of a woman in a black mourning gown. The dark veil betrayed no features behind it, but the vengeful aura that pierced his soul was unmistakable. His body was found the following day, his frightened eyes still staring at the empty space above his late wife's gravestone.
