Part of the feature allows you to share an increased darkvision (300ft). "As an action, you can magically share the darkvision of this feature with willing creatures you can see within 10 feet of you, up to a number of creatures equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one creature). The shared darkvision lasts for 1 hour."
Would this feature stick with the creatures you choose even if they are no longer within 10 feet, or would they lose the feature if they leave the 10ft range? I would think it would stick with the creatures you choose, but the wording seems a bit unclear.
It sticks until the 1 hour is over. It works the same with spells like Haste. They must be within the range to get the thing to affect them, but once it has it lasts for the full duration. It would say specifically if it went away from moving out of the range. something along the lines of "...last for 1 hour or until they move outside of the effects range"
What I'm curious about is if it's really 300ft for the range of it. I was blown away by the range and thought it would be amazing to see that far in the dark, but I started thinking of all the other dark vision abilities and most of those are 30-60 so I am now thinking it's maybe a typo...?
That is correct. 300ft permanently for the Twilight Cleric and 1 hour for others. Some races, such as the Drow, already get 120ft darkvision. Generally, darkvision is only in play while underground or indoors, in which case caverns and tunnels naturally restrict visual range to well within that 120~300ft range.
It could be advantageous for long range ambushing on a moonless night, but that doesn't come up often enough to matter.
There isn't anything OP about the 300' ft range of the darkvision, the fact it is only plain old darkvision with no added benefit of Devils sight or anything else added. The ability to share it for an hour is the only thing that might make it OP lol but still it's handy.

I knew there would be an answer to this somewhere on here. Nothing like a good community with support...

It's not a typo. In the UA it was actually unlimited range.

This seems very unbalancing, is the darkvision permeant and always on for the twilight cleric? and the ability to share it is just for the one hour?
