Order of the Shadow Soul (5e Subclass)
Order of the Shadow Soul[edit]
Mystic Subclass
The Order of the Shadow Soul devotees are mystics who can control the power of the Shadowfell trough the use of their psychic powers. They can both bend the natural shadows, cast by the blocking of light; and manipulate the thick essence of the plane of shadows, that darkened substance that leaks trough the bordering planes, alongside with the creatures who populate the darkness. These mystics strive to become one with the shadows, blending with it, using it both as a cover and a pathway to various locations inside the material plane, taking shortcuts trough bordering planes. It is common, for that reason, that some Shadow Souls also adopt Nomadic disciplines, that mostly resemble the crawling and seeping nature of darkness.
