Silent Blood Lineage Details

Those that have silent blood are people that are born in The Shadow World. Being exposed to The Shadow World for too long dooms you to be damned by the very universe you live in. No matter what you do your very existence is seen as an error and the very gods see you as a blight that must be eliminated regardless of your intentions. As such those with silent blood often retreat to The Shadow World as it is the only place that will accept them. They are often have pitch black and grey skin and they have bright luminous eyes to allow them to see in the endless darkness of The Shadow World. Those that live in The Shadow World call it the "Silent Realm" because of it's deafening silence, all sound there is dampened and it is so vast that sound couldn't possibly carry well enough to ear things from long distances.

Speed Depends on the base race you choose to apply this lineage to

Size You are Medium or Small. You choose the size when you gain this lineage.

Shadow Legacy If you replace a race with this lineage, you keep the following elements of that race: any skill proficiencies you gained from it and any climbing, flying, or swimming speed you gained from it. And you can keep two racial features of your choice. If you don't keep any of those elements or you choose this lineage at character creation, you gain proficiency in two skills of your choice.

Superior Darkvision Accustomed to the empty lightless skies of The Shadow World, 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 and magical darkness as if it were dim light. You can discern color in darkness and magical darkness due to spending all of your life in it.

Light Hypersensitivity Chances are you’ve never seen the light of day. You cannot discern color when in any light and you have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in bright light. Additionally, you are vulnerable to radiant damage and you take 1 point of fire damage for starting your turn in direct sunlight.

Lurk in Shadows You are born with the ability to hide in shadows. In dim light or darkness, as an action, you can magically slip into a shadow you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. Once you are in the shadow you are safe from most light and can move along the shadow or if the shadow moves you are moved with it. Radiant damage deals and extra hit die of damage and shunts you out of the shadow in this state.

Shadow Dissipation You can dissipate objects into your shadow, allowing you to store items in your shadow for later use. You can carry up to 2 times your carrying capacity doing this. If your hit points drop to 0 and you are either dead or unconscious all objects in your shadow reappear.

State of Silence As an action you can put yourself in a state of slight undetectability. If you aren’t in light you can turn your body into a shadow like state making you unable to be seen by any divination spells or detection spells for 1 hour. This can be done a number of times equal to your proficiency. You also gain advantage on stealth checks in the dark during this. Going into any source of light ends this feature.

Deafening Silence Once you reach 3rd level you can cast the silence spell once per short rest.

Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for your character.
