Base Class: Rogue
Shadow Stalkers are rogues who have mastered the art of blending with the darkness, becoming one with the shadows to silently pursue their prey. Shadow Stalkers use the cover of night and the power of shadow magic to move unseen, strike swiftly, and vanish before their victims can even know they've been targeted. Their bond with the shadowy realms grants them unparalleled stealth and lethality in the shadows.
Shadow's Embrace
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to meld with the shadows around you. When you are in dim light or darkness, you can use a bonus action to become invisible until the start of your next turn or until you make an attack roll. Stealth attacks made under Shadow's Embrace gain advantage.
Phantom Step
Your connection to the shadowy realms allows you to teleport short distances through the darkness. As a bonus action, you can teleport up to 30 ft to and unoccupied space you can see that is in dim light or darkness. You may use this ability twice every short rest. At 8th level this goes up to 3 times, at 11th level it goes up to 4 times, and at 15th level it goes up to 5 times.
Cloak of Darkness
At 13th level, you may call upon the darkness to conceal your movements. After using Shadow's Embrace, you may gain the ability to conceal an area that you see within 60 ft with a dark wall. The wall is 10 ft long and 2 ft wide.
Level 9: Lightless Slash
Your mastery over the shadows allows you to strike with precision, letting you cloak your weapon with such dark magic that not even light may enter it's grasp. If you are within 45 ft of your target, you may perform a Lightless Slash, doing 2d8 magical slashing damage. Additionally, the target is now blinded by darkness and must roll a DC 13 Constitution saving throw to escape the shadow's grasp.
Level 17: Master of the Shadows
At 15th level, you become an unparalleled master of the shadows. As an action, you may vanish into the shadows completely, becoming incorporeal and moving through shadows at incredible speed. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits.
- You are fully invisible, even to creatures with dark vision.
- Your speed becomes doubled. You may now also use Phantom Step at will once per turn.
- You can make an attack on one of your turns without being seen.
