Black Thirst

Description:

You have developed a powerful connection to the shadowed realms, feeding off the dark energies that linger in the night. This unnatural bond has heightened your senses and your combat prowess under the cover of darkness, but it comes at a price—your thirst for power grows stronger with every shadowed victory, urging you toward greater risks and more deadly encounters.

Benefits:

• Dark Empowerment: While in dim light or darkness, you gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Dexterity (Stealth) checks. Additionally, you gain a bonus to your damage rolls with melee or ranged weapons equal to your proficiency bonus, but only against creatures that are either in dim light or darkness.

• Blood of Shadows: When you deal damage to a creature in dim light or darkness, you gain temporary hit points equal to half the damage dealt (rounded up). These temporary hit points last for 1 minute. If you are reduced to 0 hit points while in dim light or darkness, you can choose to remain conscious with 1 hit point, but you take 1 level of exhaustion.

• Craving the Dark: You must spend at least 1 hour each day in complete darkness to maintain your connection to the shadows. If you fail to do so, you have disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws for the next 24 hours, until you satisfy your craving for darkness.
