Shadow Summoner

A
an arm, a phantom in a robes firing magic
from its staff. A woman in leather armor
orders a great dragon with green eyes in
shackles to defend her. These are Shadow
Summoners, people who have unearthed
ancient arts to create and summon powerful
Monsters to fight at their side. Using decks of cards,
they can channel their magical power to bring forth
mighty creatures called Shadow Monsters using energy
from the Shadowfell that serve their whims and fight
alongside them in battle.
Shadow Monsters fitting whatever foul creature they
worship. However, not all Shadow Summoners have
such dark intent; many are simply driven by greed and
use their power to win at games of chance, and a select
few use their power to protect the weak or fight for
justice.
“Shadow Summoners are nothing but trouble - they’re either
twisted cultists worshiping some awful thing in the dark or
gamblers looking to scam you out of coin.” — Elaith Craulnober,
owner of Tymora’s Fancy in Waterdeep.

Manipulators of the
Shadowfell
Shadow Summoners draw upon the power of the
Shadowfell through ancient rituals of blood and magic
to infuse common playing cards with the energy of that
dreadful plane, turning numbers and suites into the
visages of horrifying monsters or storying powerful
spells within for later use.
Unlike Artificers, who might use tools infused with
magic to store their spells and channel their power,
Shadow Summoners rely on their Shadow Decks to not
only summon Shadow Monsters to fight on their behalf,
but also as a focus for their spells. By channeling the
power of the Shadowfell, Shadow Summoners can
force their foes to play deadly Shadow Games with their
souls on the line.
Fate’s Chosen Warriors
Shadow Summoners don’t just use their power to fight
battles; they are also skilled manipulators of fate itself.
A Shadow Summoner can turn the tides of battle in
their favor at their lowest point, deal savage strikes at a
crucial moment, or avoid death by the skin of their
teeth. Shadow Summoners are said to be chosen by
fate, for only someone so chosen could survive the
constant use of the power of the Shadowfell unscathed.
Whether this is true or not is up for debate; many see
Shadow Summoners as either very lucky or so
intelligent they’re thinking three to four steps ahead of
their foe.
Shadow Mages
The power of the Shadowfell also grants Shadow
Summoners the benefit of powerful magics. They
mostly use this power to summon even more creatures
to fight at their side, but some focus on offensive or
defensive magics instead, fighting alongside or
bolstering the power of their Shadow Monsters.

Favored Shadow Monster
Shadow Summoners have a favored type of Shadow
Monster. Some favor powerful spellcasters that
resemble humans with bluish-green skin, others prefer
great dragons with shining bluish-white scales, and
others still prefer the company of warriors.
What is your Shadow Summoner’s favorite type of
Shadow Monster?
d6 Monster Type
1 Mages.
2 Dragons.
3 Armor-clad warriors.
4 Wild Beast.
5 Fiends.
6 Aberrations.

Card Back
Shadow Summoners style the backs of their cards with
their magic, reflecting their personality and favored
magic.
What do the backs of your character’s Shadow Cards
look like?
d6 Card Back
1 A reddish-brown vortex.
2 Blue lightning sparking outwards in vicious bolts.
3 A burning red flame
4 A shining, golden mote of light with rays stretching outward.
5 Wisps of black shadow over a deep violet.
6 A greenish-blue tornado carrying feathers on its wake.

Drive
All Shadow Summoners have a reason for taking up
their craft. Some might do it to feed a gambling habit,
others might seek pure power.
Why is your character a Shadow Summoner? What
drives them forward?
d6 Drive
1 I found an artifact that contains the spirit of a long-dead
king. I seek to live up to his greatness.
2 I want to be the strongest there ever was; nothing will stand
in my way!
3 A spirit from the Shadowfell warned me of a coming
calamity. I seek power to stop it.
4 My grandfather passed his Shadow Deck on to me with his
dying breath. I seek to live up to his legacy.
5 I owe a debt from gambling, and if I can’t use this power to
repay it a family member of mine will be killed.
6 I worship a dark being from the Shadowfell. I seek to earn
their recognition and attain greater power.

Spellcasting
Through rituals contacting dark powers from the
Shadowfell, you have gained the ability to cast spells.
See Chapter 10 of the Player’s Handbook for the
general rules of spellcasting.
Cantrips (0-Level Spells)
You know two cantrips of your choice from the Shadow
Summoner spell list on page 13 of this document. You
learn additional Shadow Summoner cantrips of your
choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known
column of the Shadow Summoner table.
Preparing And Casting Spells
The Shadow Summoner table shows how many spell
slots you have to cast your Shadow Summoner spells.
To cast one of your Shadow Summoner spells of 1st
level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell’s
level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when
you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of Shadow Summoner spells that
are available for you to cast, choosing from the Shadow
Summoner spell list. When you do so, choose a number
of Shadow Summoner spells equal to your Intelligence
modifier + half your Shadow Summoner level, rounded
down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a
level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 5th-level Shadow Summoner,
you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots.
With an Intelligence of 14, your list of prepared spells
can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any
combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Hellish
Rebuke, you can cast it using a 1st- level or a 2nd-level
slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of
prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you
finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of Shadow
Summoner spells requires time spent focusing on your
Shadow Deck and summoning power from it: at least 1
minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Shadow
Summoner spells. Despite drawing from the
Shadowfell’s power, you must use strategy and a keen
intellect to hone and focus that power. You use your
Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting
ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier
when setting the saving throw DC for a Shadow
Summoner spell you cast and when making an attack
roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a shadow summoner spell as a ritual if that
spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a deck of Playing Cards as a spellcasting
focus for your shadow summoner spells.
Shadow Deck
At 1st level, you gain the ability to transform a mundane
deck of cards into a Shadow Deck. The faces of these
cards are replaced with empty rectangular frames, and
if there are more than 20 cards in this deck a number of
cards vanish until there are 20 remaining.
Shadow Monsters
At 1st level, one card from your Shadow Deck is imbued
with a Shadow Monster. You gain additional Shadow
Monsters at certain levels as shown on the Shadow
Monsters column of the shadow summoner class table.
You may only have one Shadow Monster summoned at
a time, and summoning a new shadow monster replaces
the currently summoned shadow monster.
On your turn, you can use your Action to summon a
Shadow Monster. A Shadow Monster you summon is
friendly to you and your companions, and obeys your
commands. See this creature’s game statistics in the
shadow monster stat block on page 7 of this document,
which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several
places. You determine the creature’s appearance and
whether it has two legs or four; your choice has no
effect on its game statistics.
In combat, a shadow monster shares your initiative
count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It
can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only
action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless
you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to
take another action. That action can be one in its stat
block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, a
shadow monster can take any action of its choice, not
just Dodge.
When a shadow monster is reduced to 0 hit points or
you replace it with another shadow monster, it perishes,
and you cannot summon that shadow monster again
until you finish a long rest.
Shadow Infusions
All Shadow Monsters you have in your Shadow Deck
can have a number of Shadow Infusions equal to your
Proficiency Bonus from the list on page 13 of this
document.
When you gain a level in this class, you can change what
Shadow Infusions your Shadow Monsters have.
Changing a Shadow Infusion takes 1 hour per infusion
changed focusing on your Shadow Deck.
5
 Battle Sense
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to sense your
opponent’s next move and react accordingly. You can
give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your
Intelligence modifier.
Additionally, if a creature within 5 feet of your shadow
monster other than your shadow monster or yourself is
the target of an attack, you can use your reaction to
make the shadow monster the target of the attack. You
may do this a number of times equal to your proficiency
bonus, and regain all expended uses at the end of a long
rest.
Support Cards
Starting at 2nd level, you learn how to infuse your spells
into cards in your Shadow Deck. At the end of a Long
Rest, you can choose spells equal to the number listed
on the Support Cards table. These spells must meet the
following requirements:
The spell must be of a level you can cast.
The spell must be one you have prepared
The spell must not come from your subclass
The spell’s casting time must be 1 action or 1
reaction
The spell must not have the ritual tag.
The spell must not have the concentration tag.
The spell’s duration must be instantaneous or 1
round.
If the spell has a material component, it must not be
consumed by the spell or have a cost.
A creature that holds this card can cast this spell
without material components. Spells cast in this way
use your intelligence modifier as its spellcasting
modifier. Once a support card has been used to cast a
spell, it cannot be used to cast that spell until you finish
a long rest.
Summoning Style
At 3rd level, you choose the type of Summoning Style
you use, each of which is detailed later in this
document. Your choice grants you features at 5th level
and again at 9th and 15th level

your ace. Choose one shadow monster; it gains the
following benefits:

modifier + six times your shadow summoner level
Its hit dice are d10s.
Its strength, dexterity, and constitution are increased
by 2
The damage dealt by its attack is increased to 1d10 +
PB
It can have one extra shadow infusion.
When it would be reduced to 0 hit points, it is reduced
1 hit point instead You must finish a Long Rest for your
ace to use this feature again.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 10th, 12th,
16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score
of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability
scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t
increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Additionally, You can Replace one cantrip you learned
from this class’s Spellcasting feature with another
cantrip from the Shadow Summoner spell list
My Body as a Shield
Starting at 6th level, when one of your shadow
monsters is reduced to 0 hit points, you gain temporary
hit points equal to 2 x your level in the shadow
summoner class.
Sudden Reversal
At 7th level, you learn how to turn the tables on your
foes. When a creature within 30 feet of you other than
your shadow monster is hit with an attack, you can use
your reaction to force the attacker to re-roll their attack,
potentially turning a hit into a miss.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to
your proficiency bonus, and regain all expended uses
when you finish a long rest.
Chains of Fate Shadow Monster
When you reach 11th level, you learn how to increase Statblock
the speed at which your support cards work. Any spell
cast using a support card that has a casting time of 1
action can be cast as a bonus action instead, but must
obey all the other restrictions listed under the support Shadow Monster
card feature.
