Essence of theHighlander

This sealed vial contains a storm grey liquid. When opened, a minor eruption of harmless electricity arcs to the ground. When drunk, it has no immediate effect. The first time the drinker would have normally died of violent causes (except in the case of full decapitation), they will be fully healed and gain the following effects:

• A talent for all personal martial endeavors, focused on melee combat, and most heavily on swords.

• The ability to improbably hide swords and sword like objects on their person.

• The inability to die except by decapitation. Any injuries will rapidly heal. Lack of food, water, and air will weaken them if it persists long enough.

• The ability to sense when another immortal being is nearby. This works on all types of immortals.

• Should they manage to kill another immortal, they will absorb a portion of their skills and powers in a lightning storm out of an 80's rock cover.

• They are forbidden to kill immortals on sacred ground. Should such a death happen, doom will befall them and the surrounding area for violating this taboo. Unmistakable signs will serve as warning if this taboo is about to be violated.

• Optionally, you may decide that other immortals with the same ability set as your own have been moving in secret throughout the history of whatever setting you may find yourself in. This often spawns an organization of Watchers who track the actions of this particular type of immortal. This one is a bit eclectic, drawing from multiple sources for its abilities.
