Teleportation and the Shadows of Umbrial

Deep within the darkest corners of dungeons and forgotten forests, there exist creatures that have undergone a transformation beyond comprehension. Those who withstand this process are sent back to the Material Realm by the mysterious forces of Umbrial, tasked with wreaking havoc and destruction upon the world. The souls of these individuals are forever changed, driven mad and stripped of their memories and identity, leaving behind only a faint shadow of their former selves.

For many, this transformation is a death sentence, erasing them from existence entirely. Those who remain trapped in the realm of Umbrial find their essence stagnating and warping due to a mix of dark energy and Umbrial's interference. The shadows that emerge are born from the souls of recently deceased creatures whose spirits were caught on the journey to their final resting place.

The Shadow Monk, as these entities have come to be known, possesses abilities both fascinating and terrifying. When struck by a ranged weapon attack, they can deflect the missile with ease, using their unique connection to the shadows. This ability also comes with three additional effects, each triggered by a successful Constitution, Dexterity, or Strength saving throw:

* Stunning: The target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of the Shadow Monk's next turn.

* Knocking Prone: The target must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.

* Dropping Items: The target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or drop one item they are holding, chosen by the Shadow Monk.

In close combat, the Shadow Monk is equally formidable, wielding their shadowy powers to devastating effect. They can make three unarmed strikes or dart attacks, gaining advantage on their first melee attack before the end of the turn. As a bonus action, they can teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space in dim light or darkness.

When not wearing armor and shield, the Shadow Monk's Armor Class is modified by their Wisdom modifier, making them even more formidable opponents in combat. With skills such as Acrobatics (+9), Insight (+8), and Stealth (+9), they are a force to be reckoned with on any battlefield.

Those who dare confront these shadows must be prepared for a battle unlike any other, one that will test their mettle against the very fabric of darkness itself.
