Homebrew:Bog Phantom

(OOC: This is an implementation of the Bog Phantom subclass from Tasha's Crucible of Everything Else volume 2)

Base Class: Ranger

You follow patterns set by will-o'-wisps, departed souls that feed on fear and despair. Good Bog Phantoms often serve as guides in swamps or other dangerous areas. Evil ones may copy the behaviors of their power's inspiration, and enjoy luring unsuspecting wanderers to their deaths.

• Even when you are in plain sight, it takes a successful Wisdom (PerceptionWisdom (Perception)skillYour Wisdom (Perception) check lets you spot, hear, or otherwise detect the presence of something.

For example, you might try to hear a conversation through a closed door, eavesdrop under an open window, or hear monsters moving stealthily in the forest. Or you might try to spot things that are obscured or easy to miss, whether they are orcs lying in ambush on a road, thugs hiding in the shadows of an alley, or candlelight under a closed secret door.) check to spot you if you have neither moved nor attacked. A creature that tries to enter your space while unaware of you is surprised by you. The DC for this check is equal to your spell save DC.
