Shadow Forged Image

Prerequisite: Being Resurrected by the Shadow Breath ability.

You have been resurrected by the dark powers of a shadow creature, transforming you into a Shadow Forged. While retaining your original form in life, you now exhibit eerie attributes of undeath, betraying your new shadow forge life force. Your skin now has a tint of ethereal lavender, smooth and porcelain-like, giving it an almost otherworldly quality without any signs of decay. Your eyes now glow dimly with an eerie light, reflecting necrotic energy.

This transformation grants you several shadowy abilities and binds you eternally to the will of your creator. You gain the following benefits:

  1. Shadow Meld: You can merge with shadows to become invisible. While in dim light or darkness, you can use an action to become invisible. You remain invisible until you move, take an action, or are in bright light.
  2. Shadow Step: As a bonus action, you can teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is in dim light or darkness. You then have advantage on the first melee attack you make before the end of the turn.
  3. Undying Loyalty: You are eternally bound to the will of the one who created you. You cannot take actions or make decisions that go against the direct orders of your master. You are naturally hostile towards the living, attacking them unless otherwise instructed by your master or have passed a daily wisdom save. DC10 until level 5, DC6 from level 5 to 9. At level 10 your will is mostly your own, other than direct orders from your master you no longer feel the need to slaughter the living... unless you wish...
  4. Dark Vision: You gain darkvision out to a range of 120 feet.
  5. Necrotic Resistance: You gain immunity to necrotic damage.
  6. Unnatural Endurance: When reduced to 0 hit points, you can make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, you drop to 1 hit point instead. You can use this ability once, and it recharges after a long rest.
  7. Healing Harm: The Shadow forges healing abilities can heal undead and constructs but harm the living. Healing spells and abilities deal necrotic damage to living creatures instead of healing them.
  8. Bound Will: Your loyalty to the Shadow creature is absolute, and you follow any and all orders given by your master without hesitation or question. the Shadow creature may only issue one absolute order a day, and if it is counter to your true alignment you may make a DC18 Wisdom save to ignore the order.
