Warrior of Shadow

Warriors of Shadow practice stealth and subterfuge, channeling their reservoirs of power to harness the power of the Shadowfell. They are at home in darkness, able to draw gloom around themselves to hide, to leap from shadow to shadow, and even to take on a wraithlike form of living shadow.

Shadow Arts

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you have learned to draw on the power of the Shadowfell, gaining the following benefits:

Darkness. You can spend 1 Discipline Point to cast the Darkness spell without any spell components. You can see within the spell’s area when you cast it with this feature. While the spell persists, you can move its area of darkness to a space within 60 feet of you at the start of each of your turns.

Darkvision. You gain Darkvision with a range of 60 feet. If you already have Darkvision, its range increases by 60 feet.

Shadowy Figments. You know the Minor Illusion cantrip and use Wisdom as the spellcasting ability for it.

Shadow Step

At 6th level, you gain the ability to step from one shadow into another. While entirely within dim light or darkness, you can use a bonus action to teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. You then have Advantage on the next melee attack you make before the end of the turn.

Improved Shadow Step

By 11th level, you can draw on your connection to shadow to empower your teleportation. When you use your Shadow Step, you can spend 1 ki point to remove the requirement that you must start and end in dim light or darkness for that use of the feature. As part of this bonus action, you can make an unarmed strike immediately after the teleportation.

Cloak of Shadows

At 17th level, you have learned to become one with the shadows. As a bonus action while entirely within dim light or darkness, you can spend 3 ki points to shroud yourself with magical darkness for 1 minute, until you are incapacitated, or until you end your turn in bright light. While shrouded in darkness, you gain the following benefits:

Invisibility. You are invisible.

Partially Incorporeal. You can move through creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain, but you take 1d10 Force damage if you end your turn inside a creature or an object.

Shadow Flurry. You can use your Flurry of Blows without spending any ki points.
