===Design Note: Warrior of Shadow===
<ref name="ua23phpt6" />&nbsp;Here are the main updates in this subclass (formerly Way of Shadow) since the {{pub|Player's Handbook (5e)}}:
* {{iplink|Shadow Arts}} has been redesigned, giving the Monk Darkvision, a Darkness that costs fewer Discipline Points than before, and the darkness can be moved each turn during the duration of the spell. The Monk can also see in their own Darkness. 
* {{iplink|Improved Shadow Step}} is a new feature that allows Shadow Step to be used in Bright Light. 
* {{iplink|Cloak of Shadows}} has been moved to 17th level and redesigned to empower the Monk while in Dim Light or Darkness.
