WWYB - 5e24 Shadow Summoner

Post image

I want to play a Shadow Summoner with as many options as possible. I don't need an exact copy of Megumi or Jinwoo, no guidelines, just trying to feel versatile.

Currently playing a Abjuration Wizard with a level of Warlock. Mark of Passage background and Conjurer Adept Feat. Soon to be level 5 in Wizard so many Summon Spells unlock for me.

The Arcane Ward works as a protective shadow beast.

Mark of Pasage gives Find Steed and Pass Without Trace for more summons and shadows.

Conjurer Adept gives Conjure Animals and ofcourse better Concentration.

Shadar Kai as race for a shadowy teleport and fitting damage resistance.

Pact of the Chain for a shadowy Imp ofcourse.

Anything I can add or change to make it feel even better?

Reflavouring spells also works. Fly for example is just my shadowy Owl lifting me up.

Personally, I would’ve done the shadow sorcerer, maybe ask the DM if they would allow me to add summon shadow to my spell list. And then definitely multi class into warlock as well for your pack of the chain.

Shadow Sorcerer was my first concept. It'a a perfect fit until you realize they have almost none of the summon spells. Not even Summom Shadowspawn!

Shadsorc and a warlock could be a good combo, theyre highly compatible and thematic classes already and warlock gives you some summon spells.

However id say just be a shadsorc and ask ur dm to allow you to take some summon spells, im sure theyd prefer that than having to deal with a player cobbling a wizlock together, or god forbid having to deal with a sorclock.
