Domain Power: Treat shadows (of your size or greater) as full concealment for the purposes of entering stealth. This allows a Shadow acolyte using this power to enter stealth while observed by blending into the shadows. As long as the caster ends their turn in shadows they retain stealth even if they move through areas without concealment. At Rank 3 when concealed with this effect the acolyte gains protection from spells which would detect stealthed targets.

Shadow Master
Rank Power Description
1 Ebon Eyes Grants Darksight.
2 Cloak of Shadows Once per encounter caster can gather shadows providing full concealment (even if watched). Until the end of the round the caster move full speed while stealthed. If the turn is ended in concealment they remain stealthed.
3 Silent Shadows Caster centered AOE silence
4 Deeper Darkness Large area of effect darkness blinds all targets within. Under the effect of Ebon Eyes the caster may still see as normal.
5 Shadow Form Caster becomes a living shadow capable of two dimensional movement. They may take vertical movements up flat surfaces without penalty or Climb checks but must retain contact with a surface. They may slip through any cracks which are not small enough to prevent light from traveling through. While in Shadow Form the caster gains a +2 bonus to Stealth rolls, +2 Dodge, and +2 Speed while stealthed, and may make unarmed melee attacks as if wielding a dagger (1 lethal, +1 AP). If the caster uses a weapon instead, these attacks retain all normal bonuses while in Shadow Form. Effects with the Light descriptor deal Mortal damage to the caster while in Shadow Form.
Shadow Assassin
Rank Power Description
1 Shadow Tattoos Conceal Light weapons as magical tattoos.
2 Shadow Constructs Caster creates one simple construct from shadows (up to 1 yard square in size x Rank). Shadow constructs are jet black and virtually weightless. Constructs that bear weight may only hold half as much weight as the mundane equivalent. Only Rank simple constructs may be summoned at a time. The caster must have enough shadows available to create an object of the desired size, and must be in physical contact with the construct as he/she creates it. The construct may flow or change direction under the caster’s control until it solidifies.
3 Shadow Daggers Deals Intelligence + Channelling + Rank physical damage that ignores dodge and has +2 Armor Piercing. This spell may be combined with maneuvers from the Thrown Weapons fighting style (e.g. Deadshot or Fan of Knives).
4 Shadow Guise Alter appearance to match witnessed target, or leave it behind as a decoy when shifting to invisibility via the domain power
5 Shadow Step Step from shadow to shadow, taking the place of a movement action. Attacks against one target adjacent to your arrival location gain +Rank Dodge Reduction, and may reduce them to flatfooted
Living Shadow
Rank Power Description
1 Send Shadow The caster detaches his shadow allowing him to see from its position in black and white and hear sounds as if present. The shadow can move up to 20 yards x Rank away from the caster. The shadow may use the caster’s stealth roll and treats mundane shadows as concealment. The shadow is immediately destroyed by effects with the Light descriptor. While controlling the shadow, the caster is subject to the effects of any mind affecting spells cast at the shadow such as illusions or compulsions, and is aware of his own body but may not see his environment without reliquishing control.
2 Tangible Shadow The conjured shadow gains physical substance allowing the caster to interact with the environment including lifting light objects, picking locks, or attacking. Skill rolls are performed with the caster’s statistics and skills (although no enhancement or equipment modifiers). Despite having physical structure, the shadow remains able to move through two dimensional spaces, sliding between small cracks and under doors. In addition to controlling the shadow directly the caster may instead give it basic orders and instructions such as “defend me”, “wait here”, or “attack that target”. The shadow is immune to mind-affecting spells, however as with Conjure Shadow when directly controlling the shadow, the caster is vulnerable. Effects with the Light descriptor will cause Mortal damage to the shadow if they normally cause damage, and Rank lethal damage otherwise. The shadow has the following stats:
Health 3
Physical Defense 3 (3 dodge)
Magical Defense 1
Attack 6
Speed 10
Special Qualities Immune to death magic, mind-affecting spells, poison, and disease.

Sneak Attack - Gain +2 Attack when target is flat-footed.

3 Tangible Shadow The living shadow’s statistics improve to:
Health 4
Physical Defense 4 (3 dodge)

4 Tangible Shadow The living shadow’s statistics improve to:
Health 5
Physical Defense 5 (3 dodge)
Magical Defense 3
Attack 11
Speed 12
Special Qualities Immune to death magic, mind-affecting spells, poison, and disease.
