Shadow Cloak

Feat (Prerequisite: 4th level or higher)

You have learned to bind and wield your shadow as a supernatural extension of yourself.

Shadow Manifestation

You can summon your shadow as a tangible entity. While manifested, it appears as a darker, semi-solid version of your natural shadow and remains tethered to you.

• • Your shadow occupies your space or an unoccupied space within 30 feet of you.

  • If the shadow is more than 30 feet away, it becomes intangible and returns to your space at the end of your turn

While the shadow is bound to your body:

• You gain a +1 bonus to AC

• You gain advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks

• Once per turn, when you take damage, you may reduce that damage by an amount equal to your proficiency bonus

Shadow Armament (Weapon)

While holding a weapon and binding the shadow to it:

• The weapon deals +1 bonus necrotic damage

• Once per turn, when you hit a creature, you may deal extra necrotic damage equal to your proficiency bonus

Independent Shadow

Your shadow can act independently to a limited extent.

• As a bonus action, you may move your shadow up to 20 feet to a space you can see

• The shadow can scout visually, but it cannot interact with objects or creatures

• You perceive through the shadow’s senses while it is active (no action required)

• Shadow Step

  While your shadow is manifested, you can teleport to it.

  • As a reaction or bonus action, you teleport to your shadow’s space

  • You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest

  • Scaling Shadows

    Your mastery over shadow grows with experience.

    • At 10th level, you gain a second shadow charge

    • At 15th level, you gain a third shadow charge

    Each charge allows you to:

    • Extend the duration of Shadow Equipment by +1 minute

    • Increase Shadow Step range by +10 feet

    You still may only bind one shadow at a time, but the extra shadows represent increased potency and control.
