 //It's a well-known fact to science that being hard to see is completely awesome. Take ninjas for example: total pain in my ass, but their sheer radness is higher than any of my instruments can even measure.//
-Shadow is the class of stealth, allowing its users to pass unseen and unheard. As a problem-solving tool it has an extremely high amount of versatility, serving to cement its popularity for adventurers in almost any campaign world. Certain abilities (such as Invisibility in particular) might require special dispensation from your referee before you can take them.

-^{{ra>footprint?48|Movement}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Clamber:** You have the ability to climb up and down surfaces roughly equal in difficulty to a rope or rough stone wall. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Vulnerable:** While you are climbing, you have an impairment to your movement and attackers gain +2 damage against you with all forms of attack. |
+^{{ra>eye-shield?48|Protection}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Hide In Shadows:** When in an area of partial concealment (dim light, partial fog, etc) or partial cover, you may instead treat it as full concealment. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Stay Still:** Taking any actions while hiding gives you away automatically if anybody sees you. You can totally wait for somebody to turn their back before sneaking to another hiding place, though. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**I See You, Boy:** You can't hide if somebody is directly observing you when you enter concealment/cover. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Check-Based:** Roll a trigger die when somebody might see you. If the result is 5+, you remain undetected; if not, then you get caught. Roll a maximum of once per round no matter how many creatures might catch you or how many different Shadow tricks you use. |
+|{{fa>caret-right?24}} ^{{fa>star?24|Alternative}} |{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Drop Low:** If you fail to hide yourself, you can retry your check if you'd like. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mojo:** Every time you retry a stealth check, you must spend 1 Mojo. |
+^ ^^^
+^{{ra>eye-shield?48|Protection}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Move Silently:** You can move around undetected while within standard detection distance (10 meters or the same room, whichever's smaller) of somebody that you'd rather not hear you. Creatures outside of standard detection distance won't hear you regardless. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Tippy-Toe:** When moving silently, you take an impairment to movement speed and cannot dash or otherwise trade Energy for further movement. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Movement By Definition:** You can't hide and sneak at the same time, since sneaking involves movement and movement makes you visible. Carefully observe your circumstances and move when the time is right. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Check-Based:** Roll a trigger die when somebody might hear you. If the result is 5+, you remain undetected; if not, then you get caught. Roll a maximum of once per round no matter how many creatures might catch you or how many different Shadow tricks you use. |
+|{{fa>caret-right?24}} ^{{fa>star?24|Alternative}} |{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Reposition:** If you fail to sneak, you can avoid getting caught. This allows you to retry if you'd like. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mojo:** Every time you retry a stealth check, you must spend 1 Mojo. |
+^ ^^^
+^{{ra>cancel?48|Limitation}} ||{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Stay Light:** You cannot benefit from any ability in the Shadow archetype while carrying anything more than a light load. \\ \\ {{ra>doubled?24&align=left}}**Powerhouse Exemption:** If you also have the [[Powerhouse]] archetype, you can ignore this limitation. |
+^ ^^^
+====== Ambusher ======
+^ ^^^
+^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Hamstring:** When using any weapon that grants additional damage for a backstab (which is most Melee- and Remote-type weaponry) you always inflict one of the weapon's standard conditions to your target on a successful backstab regardless of the trigger die result. |
+^ ^^^
+====== Fade ======
+^ ^^^
+^{{ra>eye-shield?48|Protection}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Vanish:** You can hide from a creature even when they are directly observing you do it. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Takes A Second:** Hiding while being directly observed requires an action instead of simply being automatic. |
+^ ^^^
+====== Flit ======
+^ ^^^
+^{{ra>footprint?48|Movement}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Low Profile:** You can move or make non-offensive actions without betraying your presence, allowing you to hide and sneak simultaneously. Attacking will still give you away. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Silent Running:** When sneaking without trying to hide, you have no impairment to movement speed and can sprint or use other Energy-consuming movement enhancers if desired. |
+^ ^^^
+====== Invisibility ======
+^ ^^^
+^{{ra>eye-shield?48|Protection}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Chameleon:** You can hide (and thus grant yourself complete concealment) even when you don't have any partial cover or concealment to hide yourself in. You still obviously have to roll for it, though. |
 ^ ^^^
-====== Lightness ======
+====== Traceless ======
 ^ ^^^
-^{{ra>eye-shield?48|Protection}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Soft Landing:** Falling damage (1 point per 3 meters fallen) is applied to your Flow first instead of directly to your Endurance. |
+^{{ra>eye-shield?48|Protection}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Multi-Sensory:** You can evade detection via means other than sight or sound, such as scent or sonar. Doing so requires a stealth check just like hiding yourself normally does. |
-|{{fa>caret-right?24}} ^{{fa>star?24|Alternative}} |{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Parachute:** You can choose to completely negate all damage from a fall of any height. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**They Cost Money Tho:** Completely negating all fall damage costs 1 point of Supply. |
 ^ ^^^
-^{{ra>footprint?48|Movement}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Ignore Difficult Terrain:** You ignore difficult terrain (sticky mud, deep snow, shifting sand, etc) by just walking across its surface without sinking in. You take no impairment to movement when on difficult terrain and enemy attacks against you do not get the normal +2 damage bonus. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Land Only:** This benefit only applies to land-based difficult terrain- if you're swimming through water-based difficult terrain like thick weeds or whatever you still have to suffer the downsides. |
+^{{ra>eye-shield?48|Protection}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**No Trail:** You leave no tracks, scent or other signs of your passing, unless you want to. You cannot be tracked. |
