Anyone who deigns to comment will have my severe gratitude.Shadow of CagliostroThe Shadows of Cagliostro are members of a widespread secret society dedicated to defend the principles of the long-dead kingdom of Cagliostro by hiring themselves out to nations that share Cagliostro’s desire for secrecy and loyalty. They serve as secret police, enforcers and assassins, and spread their martial teachings. The Shadows teach that the keys to victory are found in defense and mobility. Shadows are skilled in catching their foes unprepared, as they can reach many areas most people cannot. They fight with the ritual weapons of the Cagliostran nobility, the shadowclaw. Most Shadows of Cagliostro are fighters, because of the feat requirements. However, many rogues are attracted to the class because of its focus on mobility, and some rangers of a more sinister bent take the class as well. There are even a few monk Shadows.Most NPC Shadows of Cagliostro are likely to be fighting against the PCs if they look too closely into the affairs of the Shadow’s kingdom. However, the Shadows are not averse to alliances, and may approach the PCs for aid against some powerful anarchist organization or thieves guild.Hit Dice: d8RequirementsTo qualify to be a Shadow of Cagliostro, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.Alignment: Any non-chaotic, non-goodSkills: Climb 8 ranks, Hide 4 ranks, Jump 8 ranks, Move Silently 4 ranks, Tumble 4 ranks Feats: Ambidexterity, Dodge, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (shadowclaw), Mobility, Two-Weapon Fighting Special: Must own a pair of masterwork shadowclaws.
