Shadow extraction

As an action you can choose to raise the soul from a corpse that you can see into a shadow soldier if they have died within the last 24 hours. You get three chances per soul you target.

The chance of success is your level/2 times (the level or cr of the enemy).

You can bind a number of souls equal to your proficiency bonus at a time.

The creatures have the following features: 

• A shadow Soldier is a duplicate of the dead creature meaning it has all of the same abilities and skills minus any Legendary abilities or Legendary Resistances.
• The shadow Soldier has half of the original creatures Max Hit Points.
• The shadow Soldier is treated as a friendly creature meaning you can use them to initiate sneak attack 
• The shadow Soldier can be healed
• In combat, The shadow Soldier shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can obey your commands, but if not commanded it will attack anything hostile to you within 60 ft of you.
• A bound shadow Soldier is only dismissed if it is killed or if the shadow is returned to your shadow by your command.
• You can use an action to touch on shadow soldier and make it part of your shadow. As an action you can call forth the saved Shadow Soldier to serve you or to have it return to your shadow. 

Shadow exchange

As a Bonus Action you can swap places with any of your shadow Soldiers.  You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. All expended uses are regained once a long rest is completed. 

Growth in Undeath

Any shadow soldier that you have bound that had levels rather than CR can now level up through similar means as you. Every two levels you gain, your shadows that have levels gain one. You can decide on the how the shadows level up, including which class they level up if they are multiclassed. If they are not multiclassed, you cannot make them multiclass. Any options the shadow gains upon leveling up you can make the choice of.

Domain of the Monarch

If a Shadow Soldier is within 30ft of you it gains the following benefits 

• +1 to its AC
• An additional 25% of the original creatures health for a total of 75% of the original creatures health.
• Advantage on attack rolls. If the Shadow soldier has multi-attack it gains advantage on only one of its attacks.
