Shadow (5e Subclass)
From D&D Wiki
Shadow[edit]
Rogue Subclass
Shadows are rogues that can wander through darkness undetected, and are specialized in trailing and stalking without being seen. Some shadows act as guardians and bodyguards, protecting their targets without they ever noticing; others, are assassins or kidnappers, following their prey to isolated locations, waiting the right moment to strike; and finally, some are thieves, lurking in the shadows while waiting patiently the right moment to take the prize.
- Disappear
By 3rd level, you are a true master of stealth, capable of fading into thin air. As a reaction when you take damage, you can use this ability to move up to 5 feet without provoking opportunity attacks and attempt to Hide as part of the same reaction, if there's a hiding spot within reach (such as an area of dim light or darkness, or a object or structure tall and wide enough to conceal your presence).
You can also use this reaction if you make an attack while unseen.
- Stalker
At 3rd level, you add twice your proficiency bonus to your Dexterity (Stealth) checks. In addition, you can make Wisdom (Survival) checks and take the Search action using your bonus action.
Finally, if you miss an attack while hidden, your position is not revealed.
- Hide in Plain Sight
Starting at 9th level, you can take the Hide action while in plain sight, if you are within 5 feet of an area of dim light or darkness.
In addition, while within 5 feet of an area covered in dim light or darkness, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
- Shadow Puppeteer
At 13th level, you are able to cause one creature within 5 feet of you to perfectly mimic your movements. When you benefit from Evasion you can share the benefits with one creature of your choice within 5 feet. Alternatively, when a creature within 5 feet of you is hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to grant them the benefits of Uncanny Dodge.
- Living Shadow
When you reach the 17th level, you can't be detected by senses other than sight, and you are always under the effects of the nondetection spell.
In addition, when you take the Hide action in an area of dim light or darkness, you become invisible until you make an attack or cast a spell, until you leave the area of dim light or darkness, or until the start of your next turn.
