Shadow Clone Focus

Prerequisite: You must know the Shadow Clone or Multi-Shadow Clone jutsu. 

Hit Dice: 1d10

1st level: 

Shadow Clone Coordination. Starting at 1st level, your combat awareness and tactics greatly increase through the use of your shadow clones. You and any shadow clone you create have advantage on attack rolls against a creature as long as you or a shadow clone you created is within 5 feet of that creature. 

Increased Performance. Starting at 1st level, you gain access to the Shadow Clone Jutsu list detailed at the end of this class. When you gain a level in this class, you can learn two jutsu from the Shadow Clone list as long as you meet any prerequisites for those jutsu. 

2nd Level:

Resilient Clone. At 2nd level, you can infuse chakra into a shadow clone to grant it greater durability. When you create a shadow clone, they gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your levels in any class that grant chakra points + your constitution modifier. 

3rd Level:

Clone Memory. Starting at 3rd level, you have learned how to greatly improve your ability to learn new things through the use of your clones. When one of your shadow clones is dispelled or destroyed, you immediately gain all of the clone’s recent memories. 

You can use this feature to increase the speed at which you learn new things and accomplish lengthy tasks. Through the use of your clones, you can halve the amount of time it takes to learn a new tool, language, or jutsu. Additionally, you halve the amount of time it would take to craft an item. 

4th Level:

Ability Score Improvement. When you reach 4th Level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Shadow Clone Infusion. Starting at 4th level, you naturally infuse chakra within the shadow clones you create. When created, your shadow clones have a number of temporary chakra points equal to your constitution modifier (minimum of 1).

5th Level:

Swift Creation. At 5th level, you can cast the Shadow Clone and Multi-Shadow Clone jutsus as a bonus action instead of an action.

Additionally, when you roll for initiative, you can use your reaction to cast Shadow Clone or Multi-Shadow Clone.
