Special Abilities

  • Assassinate: During its first turn, the shadow fey has advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn't taken a turn. Any hit the poisoner scores against a surprised creature is a critical hit.
  • Born of Shadows: When in dim light or darkness, the shadow fey poisoner is invisible.
  • Evasion: If the shadow fey poisoner is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, the poisoner instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.
  • Fey Ancestry: The shadow fey has advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put it to sleep.
  • Shadow Traveler (4/Day): As a bonus action while in shadows, dim light, or darkness, the shadow fey disappears into the darkness and reappears in an unoccupied space it can see within 30 feet. A tendril of inky smoke appears at the origin and destination when it uses this trait.
  • Sneak Attack (1/Turn): The shadow fey poisoner deals an extra 21 (6d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll; or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of the poisoner, that ally isn't incapacitated, and the poisoner doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll.
  • Sunlight Sensitivity: While in sunlight, the shadow fey has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
  • Traveler in Darkness: The shadow fey has advantage on Intelligence (Arcana) checks made to know about shadow roads and shadow magic spells or items.
