| The Assassin of Darkness |
Assassins of darkness are rogues capable of using the shadows as both a mantle that conceal them during their nefarious activities and as a weapon, allowing them to deliver deadly strikes to their targets. Experienced assassins of darkness can even weaponize the darkness, weaving shadow magic to craft weapons made out of pure darkness.
- Shadow Initiate
Starting at 3rd level, you learn how to use the shadows to conceal your presence. You can Hide even when clearly observed, as long as you are in an area of dim light or darkness.
In addition, you gain darkvision up to a range of 60 feet.
- Embrace of shadows
At 9th level, you become one with shadows. You can see trough normal and magical darkness up to a range of 120 feet.
In addition, whenever you are in dim light or darkness, you score a critical hit with your weapon attacks on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.
- Shadow Weapon
At 13th level, you may bond a melee weapon to yourself, through a 1 hour long ritual. As a bonus action, you can summon the weapon from the shadows and dismiss it as a free action. If you are not holding the weapon at the end of your turn it vanishes into the shadows however the weapon doesn't vanish if it is sheathed.
Also, you can use your bonus action to cause your weapon to assume a less tangible form of shadow. In this form, the sword has the properties of a weapon conjured by the Shadow Blade spell, but not requiring concentration, for 1 minute. When the duration ends, you can't use this feature again until you finish a short or a long rest.
- Master of Shadows
At 17th level, you gain the ability to turn invisible as an action while in dim light or darkness, using a bonus action. You remain invisible until the start of your next turn, until you make an attack or until you cast a spell.
