Evasion Starting at 8th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or an ice storm spell. When you are subject to an effect that allows a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw and only half damage if you fail.

Hide in Plain sight Starting at 10th level, you can spend 1 minute creating camouflage for yourself. You must have access to fresh mud, dirt, plants, soot, and other naturally occurring materials with which to create your camouflage.

Commander

Commanders on the battlefield are a wonder to behold. Leading their troops to victory, they are tactical geniuses and experts at supporting their troops. The sight of a Commander on the battlefield both raises allies’ spirits and demoralizes your enemies.

The bonus provided by morale lasts for 1 minute or until you use this feature again, whichever comes first. Your allies lose this bonus if you cannot see them, or they cannot see or hear you, or you become incapacitated. You can use this feature twice, regaining any expended uses when you finish a long rest. The bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws this feature provides increases by 1 at 7th level (+2), and again at 13th level (+3).

The hostile creatures lose this penalty if you cannot see them, or they cannot see or hear you, or you become incapacitated. You can use this feature twice, regaining any expended uses when you finish a long rest. This penalty increases to a -2 penalty at 7th level, and to a -3 penalty at 13th level.
