Void Ascetic
Medium humanoid (any race), neutral
Hermits who keep a vow of stillness in the empty places between worlds. A void ascetic can sit unmoving for a season, and it fights the same way: rooted, patient, and very hard to hurt while it holds its ground. Ascetics take no side in anyone's war, and they resent whoever makes them stand up.
