He is proficient with light armour but not with shields.Sneak Attack (Ex): This is exactly like the rogue ability of the same name. The extra damage is +1d6 at 1st level, and +1d6 for every two levels after that. If the shadow stalker gets sneak attack damage from another source (such as rogue levels), the bonuses to damage stack.Enhanced Sneak Attack (Ex): If the shadow stalker studies his victim for one round and then makes a sneak attack with a melee weapon, he does an extra +2d6 points of damage if he hits. This extra damage (over and above his normal sneak attack damage) applies only to the first sneak attack he makes after studying the target, and the attack must be made within 3 rounds or the benefit is lost. Studying the victim is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity. While the shadow stalker is studying his victim, he takes a –4 penalty to AC for that round. The target must be unable to detect the shadow stalker, or fail to recognise the shadow stalker as an enemy.At 5th level, the extra damage the shadow stalker inflicts after studying his victim increases to +4d6. At 10th level, it increases to +6d6.Poison Use (Ex): At 2nd level, the shadow stalker can use poison without any risk of poisoning himself.Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At 2nd level, the shadow stalker gains the ability to react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to even be aware of it. he retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) regardless of being caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. (He still loses any Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilised.)If a character gains uncanny dodge from a second class (such as a barbarian/rogue), the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge (see below).Hide in Plain Sight (Su): At 3rd level, the shadow stalker can use the Hide skill even while being observed. As long as he is within 10 feet of some sort of shadow, the shadow stalker can hide himself from view in the open without anything to actually hide behind. He cannot, however, hide in his own shadow.Chameleon (Su): At 4th level, the shadow stalker gains the supernatural ability to change his appearance at will, as if via the spell change self.Shadow Jump (Su): At 4th level, the shadow stalker gains the ability to travel between shadows as if by means of a dimension door spell. The limitation is that the magical transport must begin and end in an area with at least some shadow. The shadow stalker can jump up to a total of 20 feet each day in this way. The distance an shadow stalker can jump each day doubles every two levels higher than 4th (40 feet at 6th level, 80 feet at 8th, and 160 feet at 10th). He can split this among many jumps, but each one, no matter how small, counts as a 10-foot increment. (An 8th level shadow stalker who jumps 75 feet cannot jump again until the next day.)Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At 6th level, the shadow stalker can no longer be flanked, since he can react to opponents on opposite sides of him as easily as he can react to a single attacker. This defense denies rogues the ability to use flank attacks to sneak attack the shadow stalker. The exception to this defense is that a rogue at least four levels higher than the shadow stalker can flank him (and thus sneak attack him).If a character gains uncanny dodge (see above) from a second class (such as a barbarian/rogue), the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge, and the levels from those classes stack to determine the minimum rogue level required to flank the character.Darkvision (Ex): At 7th level, the shadow stalker gains darkvision to a range of 60 feet.Poison Resistance (Ex): At 8th level, the shadow stalker gains a +5 bonus to saving throws against poison.Invisibility (Sp): At 9th level, the shadow stalker can fade from view exactly as if via the spell invisibility. He can do this up to 3 times per day.</blockquote>
