It looks op and I know it needs adjustments but that's why i'm posting this. I also want to edit the description so that its a little more unique, same goes for the background and obvious Animate undead rip. Regardless, Check out the NightBlade class! Its a pretty sweet find.[sblock]SHADOWOF THE VOID  (WithDM Discretion)Shadows are undead that resemble dark exaggerations of humanoid shadows. Dark Disposition. From the darkness, the shadow reaches out to feed on living creatures' vitality. They can consume any living creature, but they are especially drawn to creatures untainted by evil. A creature that lives a life of goodness and piety consigns its basest impulses and strongest temptations to the darkness where the shadows hunger.As a shadow drains its victim's strength and physical form, the victim's shadow darkens and begins to move of its own volition. In death, the creature's shadow breaks free, becoming a new undead shadow hungry for more life to consume. If a creature from which a shadow has been created somehow returns to life, its undead shadow senses the return. The shadow might seek its "parent" to vex or slay. Whether the shadow pursues its living counterpart, the creature that birthed the shadow no longer casts one until the monster is destroyed.

If the target is half your level rounded down, their Strength score is reduced by 1d4. The target dies if this reduces its Strength to 0. Otherwise, the reduction lasts until the target finishes a short or long rest. If a non-evil humanoid dies from this attack, a new shadow rises from the corpse 1d4 hours later.Shadow Servitude. On each of your turns, you can use a Bonus Action to mentally Command any shadow creature you made with Great Strength Drain if the creature is within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple Shadow creatures, you can Command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the any Command to each one). You decide what action the Shadow creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general Command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the Shadow creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. These Shadow creatures will attempt to harm any non-evil humanoid if left with no commands for more than 1 hour. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete. The shadow creature is under your control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any Command you've given it. To maintain the control of the shadow creature for another 24 hours, while resting you may choose each Shadow creature that you can see within 60 feet o f you.Each creature must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. If it succeeds, you can’t use this feature on it again but the creature will remain friendly towards you.BackgroundA New Beginning What was the reason for your creation, and what changed to to allow you to become a shadow?
