Truesight

7th level Nightstalker feature.
You gain truesight for one hour. You may do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all uses of this trait when you complete a long rest.

At 15th level, you gain permiment truesight. 

Iron Resolve

11th level Nightstalker feature.
You gain proficiency is Wisdom saving throw. If you already have proficiency in this, you gain proficiency in your choice of either Intelligence or Charisma saving throws. 

Turn Creatures of Enmity

11th level Nightstalker feature.
You gain the ability to turn creatures of enmity. As an action, you present your holy symbol or item that is a bane to the creature (wolf's bane, cold iron, silver, etc.) and verbally censure the creature of enmity. Each creature of enmity that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier). If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned. This lasts for 1 minute, or until it takes any damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the dodge action.

Once a nightstalker uses this feature, he/she may not use it again until he/she finishes a short or long rest.
