Bonus Proficiencies

At 1st level, you gain proficiency with one of these skills: Intimidation, Perception, or Stealth.

Blurry Darkness

At 1st level, when you are attacked, you can take a reaction to blur yourself in darkness. All attack rolls that attacker makes against you have disadvantage until the end of the current turn.

Night Sight

Starting at 1st level, You can see through the deepest gloom. You have darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. In that radius, you can see in dim light as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can see in magical darkness. If you already have darkvision, Night Sight adds 30 ft. to the existing darkvision.

Gift of the Night

At 1st level, as a bonus action, you can grant darkvision to creatures within 60 feet of you. You can affect a number of creatures equal to your Wisdom bonus (minimum 1). If the total number of creatures gifted with darkvision is more than this, those furthest away from you lose darkvision. Targets must end each turn within 60 ft. of you, or the ability ends for them.

Targets gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. In that radius, they can see in dim light as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light.

Channel Divinity: Cloud of Night

At 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to cloak an area in darkness.

As an action, you present your holy symbol, and a cloud of night forms around you up to a radius of 200 feet. The area of darkness lasts 10 minutes but does not move as you move. It does spread around corners. It can be blocked by barriers, such as a wall or door. If a barrier is removed, the darkness with spread. Darkvision can see in this darkness.

Depending on the distance from the point of origin, this darkness can overcome different degrees of light. Within 10 ft. it can overcome sunlight. Within 50 ft., it can overcome bright light. Within 100 ft. it can overcome dim light. This light is suppressed and returns when Cloud of Night ends. If your darkness cannot overcome a source of light, that light prevails in the area.

Nightwalker

At 6th level, you gain the ability to step from one shadow into another. When you are in dim light or darkness, as a bonus action you can teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. As a part of this action you can make a Dexterity (Stealth) check to hide. If in is in question whether there is a suitable area of dim light or darkness to teleport to or from, there is such a spot as long as your Dexterity (Stealth) check succeeds. If in doubt and the Dexterity (Stealth) check fails, there was no suitable spot and the entire teleport fails.

Divine Strike

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 radiant damage.

Night Shroud

At 17th level, you become adept at evading creatures that rely on darkvision. While in darkness, you are invisible to any creature that relies on darkvision to see you in that darkness.

Editor's 's Notes

A darkness domain that isn't necessarily evil, this is built from the Twilight domain. I made the area of darkness that can be generated much larger that other similar effects, but the darkness is not magical, meaning anyone can see in it with darkvision. Nightwalker is from the shadow monk and Dark Shroud from the gloomstalker ranger.
