![]() Shadow assassins are particularly adept at manipulating shadowy terrain to serve their needs, though their skills are not without uses elsewhere as well. It is worth noting that the shadow assassin’s primary focuses are mystically using shadow for utility and concealment rather than movement, and killing targets through weapon skill and mystic concentrate rather than poison or careful study of a foe’s weaknesses. A shadow assassin wishing to explore other related areas of study is well served to take levels in the assassin and/or shadowdancer prestige classes, which augment the shadow assassin class without overlapping its base powers.Īlignment: Shadow assassins may be of any alignment. Starting Wealth: At 1st level a shadow assassin begins play with 3d6 x 10 gp. The shadow assassin’s class skills are Acrobatics ( Dex), Bluff ( Cha), Climb ( Str), Craft ( Int), Disable Device ( Dex), Disguise ( Cha), Escape Artist ( Dex), Intimidate ( Cha), Knowledge (local), Knowledge (history) ( Int), Knowledge (the planes) ( Int), Perception ( Wis), Perform ( Cha), Profession ( Wis), Ride ( Dex), Sense Motive ( Wis), Sleight of Hand ( Dex), Stealth ( Dex), and Swim ( Str). Shadowmeld ( stealth bonus), shadow styleĪll of the following are class features of the shadow assassin. Weapon and Armor ProficiencyĪ shadow assassin is proficient in all simple weapons, all light weapons, as well as bolas, net, repeating crossbow (light only), shuriken, spiked chain, and whip. The shadow assassin is proficient with light armor and small shields, but not heavy shields or tower shields. Once per day a shadow assassin can call on his mystic training to focus all his power, agility, determination and training with light weapons on the effort to kill a single target. As a swift action, the shadow assassin chooses one target within sight to be the target of his deadly focus. When attacking with a light weapon, bolas or shuriken the shadow assassin adds a bonus to his attack and damage rolls made against the target of his deadly focus. This bonus is equal to the shadow assassin’s Wisdom bonus (if any), to a maximum of his class level. The deadly focus effect remains until the target of the deadly focus is dead or the next time the shadow assassin rests and regains the uses of his daily abilities. If the target of a shadow assassin’s deadly focus dies, the shadow assassin may clear his mind and regain the use of his deadly focus. Such focus requires fifteen minutes of rest and quiet contemplation. Refocusing ends his deadly focus bonus against any previous target, even if that target should somehow be restored to life and attack on the same day. If the target of a shadow assassin’s deadly focus does not die, the shadow assassin cannot regain the use of this ability until he rests and regains all his daily abilities. ShadowmeldĪ shadow assassin is trained to be one with the shadows, wrapping himself in mystic cloaks of darkness. The effects of shadowmeld work only in areas of dim or less light. Even a single square of dim light is enough, as long as the shadow assassin is in it, as is an area concealed by dust or smoke. ![]()
