Oni Shapeshifter

Oni Shapeshifters bear the weight of a cursed legacy intertwined with ancient infernal pacts, transforming their mortal guise into a fearsome embodiment of demonic power. Their shifting form channels an eldritch might that not only enhances their combat prowess but also casts a palpable aura of dread over their enemies.


Embracing their Oni nature allows them to turn a dark curse into a weapon, manifesting eerie powers that unsettle foes and tip the balance in battle. Many adventurers are drawn to this path by a desire to master forbidden strength, challenge societal prejudices, and rewrite a destiny marked by both pain and profound power.

You gain proficiency in either Stealth, Insight, or Intimidation, reflecting the imposing nature of your Oni heritage.

While you are shifted, a dark, demonic shroud radiates from you in a 10-foot radius. This shroud causes the area within it to be treated as dim light, regardless of the ambient lighting. As a bonus action you can cause a terrifying wind to blow within the shroud, any creature within the shroud or enters it for the first time until the start of your turn must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or become frightened of you until the start of its next turn.
