Also check out my SD fighter variant Shade Stalker. Look at attachment for details Shadow Hunter (ranger) Class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Disable Device (Dex), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Wis), Search (Int), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str), and Use Rope (Dex).
