Dance Alongside a Shadowy Duplicate

Wielding long-forgotten magic, Shadow Dancers animate their shadows to act as dance partners. This Shadowdance is a waltz performed in perfect synchronicity that can fold the darkness around them, obscuring the room or even causing the Dancer to vanish from view.

Your eyes are magically suited to darkness, granting you the following benefits.

Charismatic Stealth

You gain proficiency in the Stealth skill. Additionally, you gain a bonus to checks using this skill equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum bonus of +1).

Darkvision

You gain Darkvision with a range of 60 feet. If you already have Darkvision, its range increases by 60 feet.

Shadowdance

When you begin your ValdaSpire24Extras, you can choose to replace the Graceful Dodge benefit with Shadowdance.

Shadowdance

You create a shadowy duplicate of yourself which dances alongside you in your space. When a creature hits you with an attack roll while your duplicate remains, roll your Dance Die. If it rolls a 3 or higher, the duplicate is hit instead of you and the duplicate is destroyed. A creature is unaffected by this feature if it has the Blinded condition, Blindsight, or Truesight.

The duplicate vanishes when this ValdaSpire24Extras is no longer active. Your duplicate reappears at the start of each of your turns.

On the first round of combat, you have the Invisible condition. The condition ends early immediately after you make an attack roll, deal damage, or cast a spell.

When the shadow duplicate of your ValdaSpire24Extras is destroyed, you can take a Reaction to teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is entirely in Dim Light or Darkness.

When a creature destroys the shadow duplicate of your Shadowdance, lingering shadowstuff covers the creature until the end of your next turn. You have Advantage on attacks against a creature covered in shadowstuff, and whenever you hit such a creature with an attack, you deal an extra 1d6 Necrotic damage to it.
