Roguish Archetype
At 3rd level, a rogue gains the Roguish Archetype feature. Here is a new option for that feature: the Shadow Stalker.
Shadow Stalker
Through extended time spent within dark corners and hidden places where the light doesn't reach, you have discovered the sinister truth of the shadows. Assassins who wish for a more advanced method to utilize their skills will choose to bind with this darkness, learning to manipulate it to aid their cause, and becoming a shadow stalker.
Shade Points
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you discover a method to harness the shadows in the form of shade points. You have a number of shade points equal to your rogue level. You regain all spent shade points when you finish a long rest.

Shade Step
Starting at 3rd level, you discover the paths between the shadows. When within Dim Light or Darkness, you can expend a shade point to teleport to another visible location within 60ft as a bonus action. The location must also be within Dim Light or Darkness.
Eye of Darkness
At 9th level you have delved within the shadows long enough to see all that the darkness hides. You gain the ability to see in magical and non-magical darkness up to 60ft. You also learn the Unseen Servant spell, and can cast it as a Ritual. Your spellcasting ability modifier for this spell is Wisdom.
Stealth Within the Shadows
When you reach the 13th level, you are granted the ability to fade into the shadows. At the cost of 2 shade points you can use your action to hide in a dimly lit, or dark space without the need of a Stealth check. This grants you invisibility as long as you do not attack any creature and are within dim lighting, or darkness at the end of your turn.
Become one with the Shadows
Starting at 17th level, you have become part of the shadows, as an action you can create a dark fog which heavily obscures an area of 120 feet with magical darkness for 2 hours removable only by a spell of 7th level or higher or a wind of at least 80 miles per hour. To use this feat you must expend 6 shade points.
