Shadowfell Walker (5e Race Variant)
Human Variant[edit]
Like elves who ended up in Shadowfell, humans have fallen to the nebulous realm as well. Similar to how the shadar-kai came to be, shadowfell walkers are humans who have become warped by the energies of the Shadow Realm. They become specially attuned to its energies and the environment of the place, becoming survivors of the dark in a place where they qualify as prey for many.
This race variant replaces the Ability Score Increase. You gain a different ability score increase, along with the shadowtouched, dark hunter, and darkvision traits.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2 and one other ability score of your choice increases by 1.
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Dark Hunter. You ignore penalties and disadvantage incurred by effects of dim light.
Shadowtouched. You can cast the false life spell once, as a 1st-level spell. You regain use of this spell via this trait when you finish a long rest. When you reach 3rd level, you can also cast the shadow blade spell as a 2nd-level spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
