Feats: O (Part 1 of 2)

Prerequisites expert in Stealth

You are, by nature, a thing of gloomy woods and barren wilds, and when you choose show yourself, a bit of this gloom clings to you, obscuring your form with strange distortions or mist.

When you stop being hidden due to your own actions (not due to someone successfully finding you), you gain concealment until the start of your next turn as people's eyes find it oddly hard to focus on you. As usual for concealment involving an obvious visual manifestation, you can't use this concealment to Hide.

Trigger You are about to roll initiative.

You have a flash of insight about impending danger related to one ally, and you can shout or gesture to warn that ally of the threat a moment before it materializes.

Depending on whether you use gestures or call out, this action gains either the visual or auditory trait, respectively.
