Shadow Watcher

Shadow watchers possess magical abilities to aid in gathering secrets. You slink around in the shadows and use your abilities to overhear whispered conversations. And once those secrets have been plucked from the air, you are quickly away. You excel in urban settings or places with highly guarded secrets.

Shadow Watcher Magic

You gain access to the following Shadow Watcher spells at the level listed. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of ranger spells you know.

Level	Spells
3rd	Comprehend languages
5th	Invisibility
9th	Sending
13th	Private sanctum
17th	Scrying

Shadow Vision

At 3rd level, you gain darkvision to 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, then when using the Shadow’s Observation feature, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks.

Shadow’s Observation

Also at 3rd level, while in dim light or darkness, you gain the ability to magically project your senses to another area of dim light or darkness within 60 feet. You can see and hear normally in this new area, using your senses as if you were in that location, until the start of your next turn and gaining the benefits of any special senses that you possess. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your senses originating from your own person.

Clouded Minds

At 7th level, your secrets are your own.

Your thoughts can no longer be read, and you now have advantage on saving throws against any effect that would cause you to lose control of your mind or your actions, such as the dominate person spell, the incapacitated condition, or a ghost’s possession action.

Cunning Observer

At 11th level, you can gain an edge on foes by studying them for weakness. If you observe a creature for 1 minute, you have advantage on attacks and ability contests against that creature until you roll a natural 20 during such an attack or ability contest or until you use this feature on a different target.

Wotan’s Foresight

At 15th level, you can no longer be surprised. In addition, when you use your Cunning Observer feature, it only takes an action to observe a target instead of 1 minute.
