The Shadow

You have made your pact with a demon, which origins go far back to the underdark, but who is able to manifest in the real world and even appear by your side. It controlls the basic elements of the universe, such as time and space and tries to master them and their potential - as well with the help of mortals, if it has to be this way.

"The morals of these creatures are extreme in both ways: Some are the most deceitful and evil creatures you will ever meet, while some interact peacefully with mortals and even make friends among them. But two things are the same about all shadows: They are happy beeings, despite their dark origin and always have some form of sadistic nature."

Shadow's reputation

Halflings: "Some of them are bad, but many are good! If you have to pick a demon to haunt you, you better pray its one of theese."

Dwarfs: "They can be useful. But they are not to be trusted. No matter what they tell you."

Elves: "Barbaric creatures! No sense for what is true beauty... vanish into the darkness and leave us alone with your outlandishness!"

Last Resort

Starting at 6th level, you are able to rewind the distant past to your advantage.

Once per short rest, you can make yourself or another creature redo a saving throw, ability check or attack roll, including all advantages, disadvantages and modefiers. You can also use this feature after the roll, but before the consequences of the roll are determined.

This feature cannot be used if you roll a natural one. However, you are able to use it, if the roll causing the one is modefied by other traits, such as a Lucky feat.

Starting at 10th level, you recognise the essential strings in the Net of Space which allows your Shadow to cut them.

As an action, your Shadow is able to Cut a String in the net, that holds physical space together. It has a range of 80 ft. and both you and your Shadow have to be on the mortal plain and have vision of their surroundings. Depending on the target, this creates diffrent effects:

• If used on an allied creature (including yourself) their appearence becomes blurry and distorted. Attack rolls against the creature have disadvantage and instead of walking, they are able to teleport up to their move speed. These effects last for one minute and can be deactivated as an action.
• If used on an enemy creature, it forces them to make a dexterity save against your spell DC. The target takes 5d6 force damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one.
• If used on an object, such as a magic item, it causes the item to be errased. The object can not be larger then five square feet.
• If used on an object larger then five square feet, it causes an square with an edge lenght of ten feet of disorted area to errupt, becoming difficult tarrain. Hostile creatures standing inside the square have disadvantage on saving throws and attack rolls against them have advantage. This effect lasts for one minute and can be deactivated as an action.

This feature can be used a number of times per long rest, equal to your proficiency bonus -1.

Starting at 14th level, you learn to manipulate the wheels of time, moving and acting at insane speed.

You can accelerate your speed to otherworldy limits as a bonus action. To activate it, this trait requires you to fuse with your shadow by touching it. The shadow becomes untargetable while fused with you.
