Size. Ombrasks retain the general shape of their former race. Your size is either Medium or Small, based on your former race.
Darkvision. Accustomed to life on the Shadow
Plane, you have superior vision in dark and dim
conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet
of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if
it were dim light. You can’t discern colour in darkness,
only shades of grey.
Fade Away. When you reach 5th level, you can
cast the invisibility spell on yourself once with this
trait, requiring no material components, and you
regain the ability to do so when you finish a long
rest. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for
this spell. You can also cast this spell using any spell
slots you have of the appropriate level.
Lightbender. Light naturally sculpts around your
skin. You have advantage on saving throws against
being blinded, and you have resistance to radiant
damage.
Trackless. The Shadow Plane is a dangerous
place and ombrasks quickly learn to move in the
shadows, leaving scarce tracks in their wake. You
have proficiency in the Stealth skill.
Voice Thief. While an ombrask can potentially
understand any number of languages, it is a naturally
mute creature. When a creature that can speak
dies within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction
to absorb a piece of its psyche. After you have
used this reaction, you can’t do so again until you
finish a long rest.
After you have absorbed a psyche, you can
perfectly mimic the creature’s voice, cadence, and
speech patterns indefinitely. You can hold a number
of pieces of psyche (and mimic a number of voices)
equal to your proficiency bonus. If absorbing a new
piece of psyche would put you over this limit, you
must choose one psyche to be replaced.
