Beskrivelse
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we—
Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea—
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
Edgar Allen Poe, "Annabel Lee"

As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20.
Innate Spellcasting

Your Dearly Departed has the appearance of when they were alive. As they take damage, they progressively appear to be more undead. At 0 hit points, their soul leaves the corpse, which then regains its original appearance.
