It's not that serious, but I want to play a character in a new 5th game that is the shadow of a mighty caster that exploded/evaporated during a magical ritual, which infused his shadow (me) and his familiar and spellbook with life.
To be clear, this has DM fiat, and is not what I want to get critiqued, though I no it might not make total sense.
My question is about my homebrewed background: shadow
I think something like deception (for acting like an other person) and stealth as proficient skills. This doesn't seem to problematic, but a feature is harder...
I came up with this, and would like to know if it is to strong or not strong enough: perfectly (or near perfectly) imitating people's movements, the rational being that a shadow perfectly follows someone else's movements.
This is a little rambly, sorry, but what do you people think as following or repeating movements for a shadow that came to life as an actual person (halfing)
