Monoclass

Duskblade

At the Shadow Hand school, the man watched his younger brother get the hang of his new martial techniques. His skills slowly improved, greater and greater as the days passed. Musing to himself, he let out a sigh. His study of shadow magic progressed at a much more lackadaisical pace.

-“You seem disturbed”

The voice made him jump. The man turned to the old man behind him. A firm smile on the elder’s face as he lounged under the shade of the trees.

–“Yeah, sorry, it’s difficult for me to grasp how the shadow weave operates.” He responded, turning back to the book and huffing. The old man smiled opened up.

-“Perhaps, but fear not young nobleman. I have high hopes for you. High hopes indeed…”

Goal

You are a great scout, as capable as a rogue or a, well, scout. However, your strength is in your shadow magic, a form of spellcasting that is extremely potent, although highly limited in its scope. With your control over shadows, even when surrounded, no enemy can attack you as retaliation for casting, and your shadow familiar is extremely strong. With the right choice of Paths, your spellcasting can rival the strongest wizards.
