Shadowdancer

 

Shadowdancers were those who used innate ability rather than arcane magic to harness the power of shadow magic. Always existing in the place where light and darkness met, shadowdancers were enigmatic and dangerous. Despite the connotations between darkness and evil, many shadowdancers used their abilities for good. Shadowdancers drew upon the power of the shadows to become a bit like a "super rogue" in that their ability to hide was very potent. As a shadowdancer became more experienced, they could command the shadows to do their bidding.

Shadow Magic, Darkvision

Shadow Magic

When you choose this subclass at 3rd level, you also learn the spells darkness, pass without trace, and silence, and can cast them using this feature without expending a spell slot. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for these spells. You can cast spells using this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier. You regain expended uses of this trait when you finish a long rest.

Additionally, you learn the minor illusion cantrip and can cast it at will.

Starting from 9th level, when you are in dim light or darkness, you can use your bonus action to teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. You then have advantage on the first melee attack you make before the end of the turn.

• Attack rolls against the creature have disadvantage, and the creature's attack rolls have advantage.

Shadow Strike
