- Umbral Sight now increases your Darkvision by 60 feet, instead of 30 feet, if you already have that sight.
- Stalker’s Flurry has been redesigned to enhance the Frighten effect granted by Dread Ambusher
- Shadowy Dodge now allows you to teleport immediately after the attack misses, and the feature even works against an attack that has Advantage.
