Once I got to the Shadowdancer portion I stayed hidden in the Barbarian's shadow and hopped across the battlefield to get my sneak attacks. I used these abilities very liberally and...it honestly had no effect on the game. Shadowstepping ahead of the group was not smart and most of my incoming damage resulted from getting to aggressive with in-combat Shadowsteps. As a player I REALLY enjoyed being able to do this, but looking back the ability did not break any part of the game. In the current case of the Shadow Monk, I would let the player use this as often as he likes. The balancing factor is that he is the only one that can do it, so at best he is putting his character in a position where the party can't help. If this lets him be a super scout, let him be a super scout. This is the best feature about the Shadow Monk, and the player is surely enjoying using this feature. And lets be honest...if you could move like that at will you would do it all the friggin time. =)</blockquote>
