Key ability

Shared Darkness

Class feature

Benefit 1

The range of your darkvision increases by 60ft.

Benefit 2

You may use Darkvision.

2 AP2 MP
Range
40ft

You jump into a target’s shadow. If you were hidden before using this ability, you remain hidden inside the shadow. Else, the target or any other enemy may attack the shadow as if they were attacking you. If you take damage, you are forced out. While you’re inside the shadow, you travel with the target when it moves, including if it teleports, but cannot take actions other than exiting it.

You may exit the shadow willingly for 0 RP. When you exit it, if you were hidden, your next basic attack that turn against the target whose shadow you were hiding in gains Full Pierce.

Requirements

Must be day.

Ability

Darkness

Range
40ft

You conjure a 15x15ft area of pure darkness within range. The darkness blocks line of sight. Targets inside of or within 5ft of the Darkness can only see up to 5ft into or out of Darkness. In addition, any targets within the Darkness that do not have Darkvision or a similar ability that lets them see in darkness are considered Blinded 2 (nightvision does not apply).

This lasts for up to 10 minutes and you may end this effect for 0 AP.

The mana cost of this ability is reduced by 2 during the night.
