Dark Devotion. Xia has advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.
Evasion. When Xia is subjected to an effect that allows them to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, they instead take no damage if they succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if they fail.
Shadowcloak. Xia wears the Shadowcloak. This large, cowled, magic cloak is made from pure black velvet. While Xia has it, they have advantage on all Dexterity (Stealth) and (Sleight of Hand) checks. As an action, Xia can use any of the following abilities using the cloak:
- Summon Darkness. The cloak has 3 charges. As an action, Xia can use 1 charge to cast the Darkness spell. The cloak regains all expended charges daily at dawn.
- Shadow Form. While wearing the cloak in an area of dim light or darkness, Xia can use their action to command the cloak to transform them into a shadow for up to 1 hour. Xia keeps their Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, otherwise this transformation functions as the polymorph spell, but Xia can use a bonus action to revert to their normal form. The cloak can't be used in this way again until the next dawn.
Sneak Attack (1/Turn). Xia deals an extra 21 (6d6) damage when they hit a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of Xia that isn't incapacitated and the Xia doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll.
Multiattack. Xia Amberwell makes two attacks: one with their rapier and one with their hand crossbow.
Crossbow, Hand, +1. Ranged Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d6 + 6) piercing damage.
Vicious Rapier, +1. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d8 + 6) piercing damage. If Xia rolls a 20 on their attack roll with this magic weapon, the target takes an extra 7 piercing damage.
Shapechanger. As an action, Xia Amberwell can change their appearance and voice. Xia determines the specifics of the changes, including their coloration, hair length, and sex. Xia can also adjust their height and weight, but not so much that their size changes. Xia can make themselves appear as a member of another race, though none of their game statistics change. Xia can’t duplicate the appearance of a creature they have never seen, and you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs that they have. Xia’s clothing and equipment aren’t changed by this trait. Xia stays in the new form until they uses an action to revert to their true form or until they die.
Cunning Action. Xia can use their bonus action, to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.
Smoke Bomb (2/Day). As a bonus action, Xia can throw a small grey ball on the ground which explodes in a 10–foot–radius sphere of thick smoke centered on themselves. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. It lasts until the end of Xia’s next turn.
Uncanny Dodge. When an attacker that Xia can see hits them with an attack, they can use their reaction to halve the attack’s damage against themselves.
