class features:
1st-level Twilight Domain feature You gain proficiency in the Deception skill, and expertise with the Stealth skill.
2nd-level Shadow Domain Feature Your mastery over shadows and the dark empowers your faith. As an action you present your holy symbol and dispel any magical light within 30 ft. Additionally you can choose to grant darkvision of 60 feet to a number of creatures equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one creature) that you can see. The shared darkvision lasts for 4 hours. Additionally any hostile creature within 30 feet in total or magical darkness must make a Wisdom saving throw. A creature takes psychic damage equal to 3d6 + your cleric level on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that has total cover from you is not affected.
6th-level Shadow Domain Feature You can draw on the power of the darkness around you. As a bonus action when you are in darkness, whether magical or not, you can magically turn invisible until the start of your next turn or until you break the invisibility. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
8th-level Shadow Domain Feature At 8th level, the cleric gains the ability to infuse his or her weapon strikes with necrotic energy. Once on each of the cleric’s turns when he or she hits a creature with a weapon attack, the cleric can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target. When the cleric reaches 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
17th-level Shadow Domain Feature As a bonus action you emit an aura of shadow around you that lasts for 1 minute or until you dismiss it using another action or bonus action. You emit darkness in a 60-foot radius and turn light into dim light 30 feet beyond that. Additionally, you can use your reaction against a spell casted against you or a friendly creature to grant protection to them, causing the spell to be rolled with disadvantage or granting them advantage on the saving throw. Additionally any spell that is guaranteed to hit such as magic missile is nullified. Edge of Shadow affects a number of friendly creatures equal to your Wisdom Modifier and lasts until the start of their next turn.
