Oni Shapeshifter
Oni Shapeshifters bear the weight of a cursed legacy intertwined with ancient infernal pacts, transforming their mortal guise into a fearsome embodiment of demonic power. Their shifting form channels an eldritch might that not only enhances their combat prowess but also casts a palpable aura of dread over their enemies.
Embracing their Oni nature allows them to turn a dark curse into a weapon, manifesting eerie powers that unsettle foes and tip the balance in battle. Many adventurers are drawn to this path by a desire to master forbidden strength, challenge societal prejudices, and rewrite a destiny marked by both pain and profound power.
Oni Shapeshifter Features By Level
You gain proficiency in either Stealth, Insight, or Intimidation, reflecting the imposing nature of your Oni heritage.
While you are shifted, a dark, demonic shroud radiates from you in a 10-foot radius. This shroud causes the area within it to be treated as dim light, regardless of the ambient lighting. As a bonus action you can cause a terrifying wind to blow within the shroud, any creature within the shroud or enters it for the first time until the start of your turn must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or become frightened of you until the start of its next turn.
- When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points or cause it to become frightened, you can use your reaction to teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. As part of the same reaction, you can make one melee weapon attack.
- Once per shift, when you are reduced to 0 hit points, you are instead reduced to 1 hit point and all hostile creatures within 30 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or become frightened of you until the end of your next turn.
