Oath of Shadows Paladin

# Oath of Shadows Paladin 
The Oath of Shadows is a secretive order, with few knowing of it’s very existence. These paladins embrace the shadows to carry out the work that can not be done in the light. Often tasked with assassinations on clandestine missions or gathering intel in covert operations, all at the behest of military leaders, corrupt nobles, or even religious figures discreetly employing them so as to keep their holy veneer intact.
	
   These shadow knights, sometimes referred to as dusk knights or cloak and warhammers, are warriors who thrive in darkness, where others would seek the light. While it is true that most shadow paladins are considered nefarious or malevolent, most of the order care little for their reputations; they see it as their duty to quietly and efficiently carry out their given orders whether they came directly from the king, their captain, or their god. 
   
## Tenets of Shadow
The Tenets of the Oath of Shadows is a secret prayer said under breath. It is instilled and memorized by all who take it and sworn to be kept concealed, even under threat of death.
* **Watch From the Shadows.** Make sure you can see all, but none can see you.
* **Plot From the Shadows.** Observe every detail and plan accordingly, being wise, cautious, and steadfast. 
* **Strike From the Shadows.** Strike fast and true. Leaving your target oblivious of the dagger in his back and the poison running through their veins. 
* **Disappear Into the Shadows.** Leave behind no trace of your presence upon completion of the mission.

## Aura of DarkSight
Starting at 7th level, you see through darkness as if it were not even there. You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you gain darkvision with a range of 60 feet or if you or anyone in your group already has darkvision they instead gain blind-sight with a range of 60 feet. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

## Dusk Knight
At 15th level, you become resistant to necrotic damage and can deal an extra amount of necrotic damage equal to your charisma modifier on an attack, once per turn.

## Living Shadow
At 20th level, you become an incorporeal shadow as an action for 1 minute. You gain the following benefits:
* You are resistant to non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing and become immune to necrotic damage.
* You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed and you can hover.
* You can move through creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain, but you take 1d10 force damage if you end your turn inside a creature or an object. If you move through a creature they must make a constitution saving throw against your spell save DC on the start of their next turn. On a failed save they take 1d10 plus your charisma mod necrotic damage, can not take reactions on their turn and their movement is reduced by half; on a succesful save they take half damage and their movement and reactions are unaffected.
