Shadowslinger Origin (5e Subclass)
Shadowslinger
Sorcerous Origin
Shadowslinger are people born with the power to control shadows to their will.
- Shadowfall
Starting at 1st level, you can teleport up to 15 feet as a bonus action on your turn. You must be in dim light or darkness to do this, or your destination must be in dim light or darkness. At 6th level, you can teleport up to 30 feet. At 12th level, you can teleport up to 60 feet.
- Shadow Imbuement
Starting at 1st level, you have devised an ingenious way of giving yourself skills by harnessing the memories of the dead. When you finish a long rest, you become proficient in two skills of your choice until you start another long rest.
- Transcendence
From 6th level onwards, you can take an action on your turn to create one of the following effects for 1 Minute:
-Your AC can't be less than 16.
-A 15ft aura of darkness surrounds a point of your choice. A creature with Darkvision cannot see through it, and nonmagical light can't illuminate it. If the point you choose is an object that you are holding or one that isn't being worn or carried, the darkness emeinates from that object and moves with it. This benefit lasts for 10 minutes.
-Enemies have disadvantage on attack rolls against you.
You regain the ability to do this when you finish a long rest. Also, creatures with Truesight ignore Transcendence bonuses.
- Shadow Weaving
From 10th level onwards, you can create a 10ft by 10ft panel made of shadows as an action. It has 60 HP and an AC of 14, and can hold up to 500 + (your Charisma score ×10) lb. You can have a number of these equal to your Charisma Modifier existing at once. You can connect them to one another. You can see through them, but other creatures cannot. It can be dispelled by a Daylight spell of 5th level or higher. From 16th level onwards, it can only be dispelled by a Daylight spell of 6th level or higher.
- Superior Transcendence
From 14th level onwards, you can reuse Transcendence after finishing a short rest.
- Ultimate Transcendence
From 18th level onwards, your Transcendence effects cannot be dispelled, or negated via truesight. At 20th level, your Shadowplate cannot be dispelled.
