The Shadow

You have made a pact with the Darkness between worlds, and in turn it has given you partial control over its domain. Wield it well.

Shadow Swift

1st-level Shadow feature

You can magically turn into a shadow to defend yourself. As a reaction, you can disappear into a black spot on the ground, equal to your Dexterity modifier (minimum of once) and take half damage from non magical attacks.

You can reappear behind your target and take an attack of opportunity with Advantage, as if the target was flanked.

Gift of the Dark

1st-level Shadow feature

You gain a climbing speed of 40 feet, and expertise on stealth checks.

Darkened Soul

6th-level Shadow feature

You are now even more at home in the darkness. You gain resistance to necrotic damage. In addition, you can see 60 ft in both magical and non-magical darkness. Darkness and Dim Light is perceived as bright light.

Shadow Thrall

6th-level Shadow feature

Your ties to the realm of darkness grow stronger. If you land a critical hit with a melee, melee weapon, or spell attack, you can trigger a Wisdom saving throw (spell save DC). If the target fails, they turn into a shadow version of their physical form, all stats remain the same. The creature must have a CR equal to or less than your Warlock level.

They act on your initiative in combat, following your turn. You may command them as a bonus action, otherwise they take the Dodge action. The Shadow Thrall lasts for 1 hour, unless dispelled by Dispel Magic, exposed to bright light, or is hit with a critical hit of radiant damage.

If the Shadow Thrall is exposed to bright light or killed with radiant damage, all remains including equipment disintegrate.

You may only have 1 Thrall at level 10, but you can have 2 at level 15.

Shadow Step

10th-level Shadow feature

You may now teleport between areas of darkness, and within darkness, up to 60 feet, as part of your movement, but it does not use any of your movement speed.

Shadow Form

14th-level Shadow feature

You can magically transform into a shadow. Your skin and features fade into a void. Opponents in a 15 ft radius must succeed a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened. You gain temporary HP equal to the amount of creatures frightened times 5. You are under the effects of the gaseous form spell, but retain your movement speed, and can still attack. Your reach, once per turn, can increase to 30 ft.

You can do this an equal amount of times to your Charisma modifier.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

At level 20, the radius of frightening increases to 40 ft.
