Crossroads Step

When you hit a creature with an attack that deals Sneak Attack damage, you may use your bonus action to step through Hecate’s hidden path.

You teleport up to 20 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.

Creatures of your choice within 5 feet of either your starting or ending space must make a  (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier) Wisdom saving throw

On a failure, the creature becomes Shaken until the end of its next turn.

A ghostly after-image of you lingers in your starting space until the start of your next turn, like a path your spirit nearly took.

Shaken — Crossroads Variant (Hecate’s Sixfold Doubt)

At the start of each Shaken creature’s next turn, roll a d6 to determine how it stumbles at the crossroads:

1 — Halting Step

A cold, unseen grip clasps its ankles; its speed is halved, as if the ground refuses to let it choose a path freely.

2 — Lost Reaction

Whispers tug at its instincts from three unseen directions; unable to decide which impulse to trust, it cannot take reactions until the start of its next turn.

3 — Off-Balance Strike

Your form splinters into three wavering silhouettes in its vision; unsure which is real, the first attack roll it makes this turn is made with disadvantage.

4 — Whispering Echo

A triad of spectral voices presses into its mind, each offering contradictory guidance; the creature suffers 1d4 psychic damage from the strain.

5 — Fractured Focus

A pale torchlight reveals too many possible futures at once; its resolve cracks, giving it disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes before the end of its turn.

6 — Wrong Turn

The ground shifts beneath it like a living crossroads; the first 5 feet of movement it takes this turn pull it in a random direction before it can regain control.

Whispers of the Restless

Your bond to Hecate grants you faint communion with spirits lingering at the edge of death.

As an action, you may address a corpse, gravesite, or location where a creature has died within the last 24 hours. A ghost-echo manifests—blurred, pale, and half-present—and offers a fragment of its lingering memory.

You may ask the spirit one question.
It answers in impressions, gestures, or broken phrases.
It cannot lie, but its understanding may be hazy, symbolic, or incomplete.

You may only question each corpse or site once, and this does not function on undead or ancient remains whose spirits long since moved on.

Hecate’s Favor

You may use The Witch-Road Blessing once.
It does not recover on a rest.

Instead, you regain its use only after performing a meaningful act that honors Hecate’s domains of crossroads, spirits, night, or fate’s hidden paths. Examples include:

• Guiding someone through danger or uncertainty

• Interacting respectfully with spirits or the dead

• Choosing a difficult or fateful course over an easier one

• Assisting someone faced with a pivotal decision

• Using stealth, cunning, or shadowcraft to avert harm

Your DM decides when a deed meaningfully honors Hecate.
