The Reborn
From Vanathul Wiki
About
Found mainly on the islands of Tumanako, where they comprise a small portion of the population.
Reborn appear as humans by most superficial criterias. They do however age at a slower rate than a normal human, and without serious disease or injury, may live for close to double the human lifespan.
What makes the Reborn different from other humans is their connection to the past. They are all born with some memories of their past lives that become apparent as they mature, becoming fully revealed upon adulthood. These memories are usually unorganized at first, but after a longer period with meditation, consulting other elders and reflection, they become are organized.

Alternate Racial Traits
The following alternate racial traits may be selected in place of one or more of the standard racial traits above. Consult your GM before selecting any of these new options.
Mystic Past Life (Su)
You can add spells from another spellcasting class to the spell list of your current spellcasting class. You add a number of spells equal to 1 + your spellcasting class’s key ability score bonus (Wisdom for clerics, and so on). The spells must be the same type (arcane or divine) as the spellcasting class you’re adding them to. For example, you could add divine power to your druid class spell list, but not to your wizard class spell list because divine power is a divine spell. These spells do not have to be spells you can cast as a 1st-level character. The number of spells granted by this ability is set at 1st level. Changes to your ability score do not change the number of spells gained. This racial trait replaces Glimpses of the past.
