Embrace the Shadow

You will become forever bound to darkness and only know shadows as your friends. This choice will change your life forever and will take a large commitment to wield such power, but granting you the reaper of the night. Many who choose to proceed with the ritual will lose their minds as the darkness consumes them, but for those who succeed will and can only embrace the shadows.

If you acquire a new hood, you must go to a complete pitch black room and change your hood. If you ever go out in bring sunlight with your hood on, your health is automatically halved until you return inside or in the dark. No one will be able to see your face for all they would see is pure darkness and shadowy like flames seeping from your hood, unless your hood is taken off your head. While your hood in on, -5 from all charisma checks (from 0, so if you have +3 in performance it is now -5) except intimidation and skills you are proficient with, intimidation gets +5 from your current modifier.
