Prerequisite: Requires Shadow Sorcerer
As a bonus action, you can summon a Puppy of Ill Omen to an unoccupied space adjacent to your own. The pup uses a dire wolf’s statistics, with the following changes:
- The hound is size Tiny, not Large, and it counts as a monstrosity, not a beast.
- It appears with 1 hit point.
- It can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. The pup takes 5 force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.
- It does 0 points of piercing damage on a hit. No, this is not a typo.
The pup disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points, but can be re-summoned at will. Being a shadow, it feels no pain!
AT LEVEL 6:
Using the class feature Hound of Ill Omen temporarily converts the pup to the hound of that ability, sics them on your chosen target, and teleports the hound to an unoccupied space within 30 feet of your target.
The hound reverts to its tiny pup form if it is reduced to 0 hit points, if its target is reduced to 0 hit points, or after 5 minutes--the pup has 1 hit point as if freshly summoned.
