Path of the Shadowlord

Dark Guidance

Blood. War. Destruction. Rage. These things among many are more than enough to push anyone over the edge. Surrender to your despair. With primal rage at your disposal and a desire to reap havoc, the darkness is more than happy to bestow you with power. In fact, so willing your vessel is cursed to bring calamity to not only your enemies but allies as well. Images of your own anguish fuel your rage. Give all in your wake a taste of your cursed fury.

Sadistic Fury

Starting at 3rd level at the beginning of raging status, any creature within 10 ft of player must make a wisdom saving throw or is infected with fear reducing their movement speed to 0ft until their next turn. Spell save DC is ( 8+ proficiency bonus + Strength ) At 14th level spell DC is ( 10 + proficiency bonus +Strength )

While raging, you gain the following benefits if you aren’t wearing heavy armor:

• You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
• When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain a bonus to the damage roll that increases as you gain levels as a barbarian, as shown in the Rage Damage column of the Barbarian table.
• You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage not affected by radiance.

If you are able to cast spells, you can’t cast them or concentrate on them while raging.

Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven’t attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action.

Once you have raged the number of times shown for your barbarian level in the Rages column of the Barbarian table, you must finish a long rest before you can rage again.

Nightmare Shroud

If you are within 20 ft of any creature affected by a status aliment you can teleport within 5ft of the creature as a bonus action. The number of times this ability can be used is based on your constitution modifier.

At 14th level a clone of the player appears next to targets affected until players next turn. Target is dealt 1d6 necrotic damage at the start of its turn and has its movement reduced by half rounded down. The clone disappears immediately after damage is applied.
