### Sorcerous Origin: Shadowborn
You are a creature of shadow, for your innate magic comes from the Shadowfell itself. You might trace your lineage to an entity from that place, or perhaps you were exposed to its fell energy and transformed by it.

The power of shadow magic casts a strange pall over your physical presence. The spark of life that sustains you is muffled, as if it struggles to remain viable against the dark energy that imbues your soul. Roll on the Shadow Sorcerer Quirk table.

##### Shadowborn Sorcerer Quirks
| 1d6 | Quirks |
|:----:|:-------------|
| 1 | You are always icy cold to the touch. |
| 2 | You don't appear to breathe no matter how hard you're breathing (though you must still breathe to survive) |
| 3 | You barely bleed, even when badly injured. |
| 4 | Your heart beats once per minute. This event sometimes surprises you. |
| 5 | You have trouble remembering that living creatures and corpses should be treated differently. |
| 6 | You blinked. Once. Last week. |

##### Shadowborn Origin Spells
| Sorcerer Level | Spells |
|:----:|:-------------|
| 1st | *Arms of Hadar, Toll the Dead* |
| 3rd | *Blur* |
| 5th | *Bestow Curse* |
| 7th | *Shadow of Moil* |
| 9th | *Enervation* |
| 11th | *Circle of Death* |

#### Constitution of the Dark
The magic that you command is shadow magic that's infused into your being directly from the shadowfell, you can see through magical darkness. At 6th level, your hit point maximum can't be reduced.

#### Born of Shadows
Starting at 1st level, you can see normally in darkness or dim light out to 240 feet. You can detect if anything might be made of or use shadow magic and have advantage on ability checks, attack rolls, or saving throws against such things. And you can see ethereal creatures and objects.

#### Shadow Walk
At 6th level, You gain resistance to necrotic damage, and the ability to step from one shadow into another. When you are in dim light or darkness, as a bonus action, you can teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. You are considered hidden and have advantage on the first attack you make before the end of your next turn.

\columnbreak

#### Strength of Death
At 6th level, your existence in a twilight state between life and death has made you difficult to defeat. When damage reduces you to 0 or lower hit points, you can make a Constitution saving throw (DC 5 + half the damage taken rounded down). On a success, you instead drop to 1 hit point. You can't use this feature if you are reduced to 0 hit points or lower by radiant damage or by holy items.

You can use this Feature a number of times equal to your Charisma Modifier. You regain 1 use of this feature when you finish a short rest, and all uses when you finish a long rest.

#### Hounds of Omen
At 14th level, you gain the ability to call forth the howling dogs of the darkness to hunt your foes. As a bonus action, you can spend 4 sorcery points to summon 4 **Shadow Mastiffs** to target a number of creatures equal to your Charisma modifier that you can see within 120 feet of you. The **Shadow Mastiffs** uses their normal statblock with the following changes:

* They appear with a number of temporary hit points equal to twice your sorcerer level.
* They can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. A mastiff takes 1d4 force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.
* At the start of its turn, the mastiffs automatically knows its targets locations. If the targets were hidden, they're no longer hidden from you and the mastiffs.

The mastiffs appear in unoccupied spaces of your choice within 30 feet of its targets. The mastiffs all take their turns after yours. On ones turn, it can move towards only one of its targets on its turn by the most direct route, and it can only use its actions or reactions to attack or dodge its target. The mastiffs can make opportunity attacks, but only against its current target.

Additionally, while the mastiffs are within 5 feet of any of their targets, the targets have disadvantage on saving throws and attack rolls against you or any spells you cast. A mastiffs disappears if it's reduced to 0 hit points, if all of its targets are reduced to 0 hit points, or after 6 hours.

#### Umbral Form
At 18th level, you gain immunity to necrotic damage, and can take the hide action in any amount of shadows when you do this you are considered heavily obscured.

As a bonus action you can transform yourself into a shadowy form. In this form, you have immunity to all damage except force and radiant damage, and you can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. You take 1d4 force damage if you end your turn inside an object. This form lasts for 5 minutes.

Alternatively, you can choose to remain in this form for 10 minutes, but you can't use the attack action, or cast a harmful spell. It ends early if you are incapacitated, if you die, or if you dismiss it as a bonus action.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest, unless you spend 5 sorcery points to use it again.
