Order of the Shadow (WIP)

The Order of Shadow is as old, if not older, than the Order of Ghostslayers in the realm of Itsurnia. It was thought to be the only way for humanity to keep up with the supernatural threats lurking in the nights, although the Order quickly grew to understand that the blood of these creatures was much stronger than they thought.
Something something people losing their humanity
Something something order was 'killed off' due to it's ever growing monstrous nature
Something something it ended up staying alive with a few members, never really expanding to where they would be noticed again

Ravenous Transformation

Upon choosing this archetype at 3rd level, you begin to understand the strength of the old blood inside of you. As a bonus action, you can transform into your ravenous form for up to 1 hour. You can speak, use equipment, and wear armor in this form. You can revert to your normal form earlier as a bonus action. You automatically revert to your normal form if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

In the Character Builder, set the option for Ravenous Transformation to Ravenous Form to activate the bonuses for that form on the character sheet.
