Shadowmaster

Shadowmasters swear an oath to Belial when they join the Order of Desolation. These precepts commit them to serve Belial's foes as allies before revealing themselves as enemies.

Plans Within Plans. My enemies must never discover my true goals. If needed, I will sacrifice myself to protect my schemes.

Positions of Power. I control everything from the shadows by knowing who to deceive and where to hide in plain sight.

Power in Patience. I study my enemy and methodically build their trust. My loyalty must be unquestionable so my inevitable betrayal is unthinkable.

Hesitation Is Failure. Though I usually rely on agents, when the opportunity presents itself, I can unhesitatingly kill with efficiency and precision.

You are particularly skilled against foes you mark for death. You have advantage on your first attack against an interdicted creature on each of your turns.

You understand the power of striking from the shadows. Once per turn, when you hit an interdicted creature with a melee weapon attack and you have advantage on the attack roll, you can roll a number of d4s equal to your proficiency bonus and deal extra damage equal to the total you rolled. This damage increases by 1d4 if the target is in dim light or darkness.

You gain the following two Invoke Hell options:

Master of Disguise. As an action, you can cast the disguise self spell without expending a spell slot.

No Escape. As a bonus action, you can call on the shadows to entrap a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target must make a Charisma saving throw, made with disadvantage if they are in dim light or darkness. On a failed save, the target's speed is halved and they can't willingly move more than 30 feet away from you. This effect ends for the target if you are incapacitated or die or if the target is more than 30 feet away from you.

You learn the following additional interdict boons at the noted illrigger levels. Once you learn an interdict boon granted by this feature, you always know it, and it doesn't count against the number of interdict boons you know.

Veil of Lies (7th Level). As a bonus action, you can expend a seal to become invisible for 10 minutes or until you attack or cast a spell.

Hell's Assassin (13th Level; Passive). Whenever you roll a 1 or 2 on a die to determine the damage of your seals or your weapon attacks against interdicted creatures, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll.

Dark Malediction (18th Level; Passive). Interdicted creatures radiate darkness in a 10-foot radius. Mundane sources of light can't illuminate this darkness, but creatures with darkvision can see through it. If any of this darkness overlaps with an area of light created by magic or psionics, the overlapping area of darkness is illuminated by the light.

Shadows are your companion, aiding you in your exploits. You gain the following benefits:

• You gain darkvision out to 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, its range increases by 60 feet.

• Your movement speed increases by 10 feet.

• You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide. Whenever you make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage from an effect, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and half damage if you fail.

You have perfected your assassin's strike. The extra damage from your Strike from the Dark feature increases to a number of d8s equal to your proficiency bonus (instead of that number of d4s), and you deal an extra 2d8 damage if the target is in dim light or darkness (instead of an extra 1d4 damage). In addition, when you deal damage using Strike from the Dark, you can use your reaction to burn a seal on the creature, causing them to be blinded for 1 minute instead of dealing the seal's damage.
