Shadow

The Shadow subclass focuses on a special form of arcane cunning, utilizing the shadows to maximize their stealth and their damage. 

Shadow Blade

Starting at 3rd level, shadows bounce around your weapon of choice. Your Sneak Attack deals necrotic damage instead of its traditional damage. 

Death's Shadow

Starting at 3rd level, when an enemy you have hit with an attack is reduced to 0 hit points, you can use cunning action to Dash and gain a second attack at the end of your dash if you are within range of an enemy. 

Fade to Black

Starting at 9th level, you gain the ability to fall into and become one with the shadows.

As an action, you can step into a shadow at least 4 ft tall. 

While you are in the shadow, you are completely undetectable outside of magical means. You gain a +10 to Wisdom (Perception) checks while in this state. 

While in this state, your speed becomes 0, and you cannot take any actions or speak. You may leave the shadow at any time.

Soul Thief

Starting at 13th level, you gain the ability to take the souls of your victims, and add them to your shadow. 

When you or an ally deals fatal damage to an enemy in melee range, you can focus your arcane energy and take the remnants of their soul, regaining 1d6 hit points.

Shadow Step

Starting at 17th level, you gain the ability to move amongst the shadows. 

As an action while using Fade to Black, you can now move to a different shadow within 40 ft. 

If you exit the shadow in melee range of an enemy, you instantly gain advantage and an extra 3d6 to your Sneak Attack.
