Moonlit Step
As a bonus action, you summon the Moonstride Shade, which appears in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. The Shade lasts for 1 minute or until dismissed (no action required).
While the Shade exists:
-
Once per turn when you move, you gain an extra 5 feet of movement, which does not provoke opportunity attacks.
-
As a bonus action, you may command the Shade to teleport to a space within 30 feet of you; immediately afterward, you may swap places with it.
-
You have advantage on Stealth checks made to hide or move silently in dim light or darkness.
The Shade cannot attack, be targeted, or affect the world. It is a spiritual projection — a hunter’s omen.
Moon’s Parallax
While the Shade is active, Artemis sharpens your perception of what hides, deceives, or pretends.
Your Shade flickers at odd angles, revealing subtle distortions around things that are false or out of place.
-
You have advantage on Investigation checks made to detect:
-
hidden doors or concealed mechanisms
-
disguised or altered objects
-
illusory terrain or false walls
-
magically disguised creatures
-
-
Illusions or glamours cause the Shade to appear double-exposed.
-
Magically concealed features appear as faint moonlit outlines at the corners of your vision.
This is not detect magic — it is the moonlight’s ability to expose what cheats the night.
Artemis’ Hunt
You may use Moonlit Step once.
It does not recover on a rest.
Instead, you regain its use only after performing a meaningful act that honors Artemis’ domains of the moon, the hunt, stealth, and silent pursuit. Examples include:
-
Revealing a hidden or disguised threat
-
Tracking prey with cunning rather than brute force
-
Approaching a target undetected
-
Outmaneuvering an enemy through superior movement
-
Acting with speed and precision in a critical moment
-
Protecting wildlife or sacred wilderness
-
Exposing illusions or trickery to protect the hunt
Your DM decides when an act meaningfully honors Artemis’ ideals.
