Cursed Shadow Magic

Cursed Shadow Magic

You are a creature of the shadows, for your innate magic comes from the Shadowfell itself. You might trace your lineage to an entity from that place, or perhaps you were exposed to its fell energy and transformed by it.

The power of cursed shadow magic casts a strange pall over your physical presence. The spark of life that sustains you is muffled, as if it struggles to remain viable against the dark energy that imbues your soul. At your option, you can pick from or roll on the Cursed Shadow Sorcerer Quirks table to create a quirk for your character.

Shadow Hound

At 6th level, you gain the ability to call forth a howling creature of darkness to harass your foes. As a bonus action, you can spend 2 sorcery points to magically summon a shadow hound to target one creature you can see within 120 feet of you. The shadow hound uses the dire wolf statistics (see the Monster Manual or appendix C in the Player’s Handbook), with the following changes:

• The shadow hound is size Medium, not Large, and it counts as a monstrosity, not a beast.
• It appears with a number of temporary hit points equal to your sorcerer level plus your proficiency bonus.
• It can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. The hound takes 5 force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.
• At the start of its turn, the hound automatically knows its target’s location. If the target was hidden, it is no longer hidden from the hound.

The shadow hound appears in an unoccupied space of your choice within 30 feet of the target. Roll initiative for the shadow hound. On its turn, it can move only toward its target by the most direct route, and it can use its action only to attack its target. The shadow hound can make opportunity attacks, but only against its target. Additionally, while the shadow hound is within 5 feet of the target, the target has disadvantage on saving throws against any spell you cast. The shadow hound disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points or after 5 minutes.

You remain in this form for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated, if you die, or if you dismiss it as a bonus action.
