After you." —Rala Croft, Dungeon DelverIn many ways, the dungeon delver is the ultimate adventuring rogue. He’s skilled at moving stealthily through all types of dungeon terrain, detecting and disarming inconvenient traps, bypassing locks, locating treasure, and ﬁlching protected items.Since a dungeon delver frequently works alone, he must learn to think and act independently, relying upon no one but himself. Even when exploring a dungeon in the company of other adventurers, he often keeps to himself—scouting ahead, disarming traps a safe distance from the group, or seeking treasure while the others are distracted.The typical dungeon delver has forsaken interaction skills to concentrate on the nuts and bolts of dungeon exploration and treasure retrieval. Rogues and rangers make excellent dungeon delvers, as do the rare few hunters and ninja who choose to pursue this track. Multiclass rogue/rangers who favor the darkness of caverns to the light of the sky also make good dungeon delvers.BECOMING A DUNGEON DELVERHit Die: d8.RequirementTo qualify to become a Dungeon Delver, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.ENTRY REQUIREMENTSFeats: Alertness, Blind-Fight.Skills: Climb 2 ranks, Disable Device 2 ranks, Perception 6 ranks, Stealth 6 ranks, Survival 4 ranks, Swim 2 ranks.Special: Trapfinding and Trap Sense (or Danger Sense) class feature.Class SkillsThe Dungeon Delver’s class skills are Acrobatics (Dex), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Disable Device (Dex), Escape Artist (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (all), Linguistics (Int), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Sleight of Hand (Dex), Stealth (Dex), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str), and Use Magic Device (Cha).Skill Ranks per Level: 8 + Int modifier.Table: Dungeon Delver<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Level </td><td>Base Attack Bonus </td><td>Fort Save </td><td>Ref Save </td><td>Will Save </td><td>Special </td></tr><tr><td>1st </td><td>+0 </td><td>+1 </td><td>+1 </td><td>+0 </td><td>Darkvision, stealthy movement, trap training </td></tr><tr><td>2nd </td><td>+1 </td><td>+1 </td><td>+1 </td><td>+1 </td><td>Quick at hand, wild stride </td></tr><tr><td>3rd </td><td>+2 </td><td>+2 </td><td>+2 </td><td>+1 </td><td>Skill mastery, trackless step </td></tr><tr><td>4th </td><td>+3 </td><td>+2 </td><td>+2 </td><td>+1 </td><td>Skill unlock, survivor’s spirit </td></tr><tr><td>5th </td><td>+3 </td><td>+3 </td><td>+3 </td><td>+2 </td><td>Blindsense, evasion </td></tr><tr><td>6th </td><td>+4 </td><td>+3 </td><td>+3 </td><td>+2 </td><td>Artist of escape, camouflage </td></tr><tr><td>7th </td><td>+5 </td><td>+4 </td><td>+4 </td><td>+2 </td><td>Skill unlock </td></tr><tr><td>8th </td><td>+6 </td><td>+4 </td><td>+4 </td><td>+3 </td><td>Hide in plain sight </td></tr><tr><td>9th </td><td>+6 </td><td>+5 </td><td>+5 </td><td>+3 </td><td>Maze mastery </td></tr><tr><td>10th </td><td>+7 </td><td>+5 </td><td>+5 </td><td>+3 </td><td>Perfect explorer, skill unlock </td></tr></table>Class FeaturesAll of the following are class features of the Dungeon Delver.Weapon and Armor ProficiencyDungeon delvers gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor.Darkvision (Ex)A dungeon delver's long exposure to pitch-black subterranean surroundings enables him to develop darkvision out to 60 feet.
