Encounter ✦ fire, necrotic, shadow
Personal
Effect: You assume a dark, fiery form that lasts until you make an attack roll or until the end of your next turn. While in this form, you gain resist 5 to all damage, and any creature that hits you with a melee attack takes 5 fire and necrotic damage. When you assume this form, you can use your assassin’s shroud power once as part of the same action. This use of assassin’s shroud does not count against the limit on the number of times per round you can use that power.
Level 11: The resistance and damage increase to 10.
Level 21: The resistance and damage increase to 15.
Sustain minor: The form persists until the end of your next turn.
