Splinter Shadow

Splinter Shadow is a reaction available to Nimbus and Splintered Shadow Hound that allows it to create a splintered copy of itself when attacked. A version of this ability can additionally be acquired by  Accursed Spectres summoned by Hexblades if Nimbus moves within 3 m / 10 ft of them.

Description

When you are attacked by a melee attack that does not deal Radiant damage, splinter off a piece of yourself to spawn a new version from the shadows.

Notes

• Splintered Shadow Hounds cannot be controlled by the player.
• The same Nimbus or Splintered Shadow Hound can spawn multiple Splintered Shadow Hounds.
• An attack made by a party member does not trigger this reaction.
• When Nimbus moves within 3 m / 10 ft of an  Accursed Spectre, the spectre gains this reaction. Conversely, Nimbus gains the spectre's  Right Behind You reaction until the next long rest.
