Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Darkblade.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Proficient in all simple and marital weapons, as well as medium and light armor. They are not, however, proficient with shields.

Shadow Affinity: Shadows seem to meld around the Darkblade, giving him +1 to hide.

Low-light Vision: Because of the Darkblade's connection to shadows, he is able to see in the less illumanation better. Treat as a Elf's low-light vison.

Weakness to Sunlight: When in bright areas of illumanation, a darkblade cannot mannifest his full powers. Due to this he recives a -4 penty to all skill checks. This penety lowers by 1 at every 5th level (5,10,15,20).

Shadowmark: This power allows that Darkblade to mark any of his objects with a mark unique to him. This mark will always be apparent to him. He may mark any number of objects that he believes truly belongs to him equal to his Con. Mod.

Hardened Shadows:By sacrficing a move action, the Darkblade may cause the shadows around him to harden as if armor. This gives him a +1 to to all three ACs. At 10 it gose up to +2, 15 is +3, and 20 is +5.

Shadowcall: By using this power, a Darkblade my call any object that is up to 1 pound + (Wis mod+Str. Mod/2) pounds through shadows. Any object he has shaodwmarked may be called to him, regardless of weight. Note: Only objects may be pulled through willingly. Any willing creature has to make a Fort DC of 20, while the Darkblade must make a Will DC of 20. If the willing creature fails, he dies and his soul is stuck in the Plane of Shadows. If the Darkblade fails, it simply doesn’t work.

Shadowrepel:This power function almost exactly like Shadowcall, only that is pushes things through shadow-space to any other dark location. May only be used on objects.

Shadowstrike: This power allows the Darkblade to attack any enemy that is next to an area with shadowy illumination. To work, the Darkblade must be in at least shadowy illumination and be able to see his target.

Shadow Domain: At 5th level, the Darkblade is intuned with shadows enough that he may start casting spells from the shadow domain as if he was a sorcerer of 4 levels lower then his darkblade level. However, the spells can ONLY be from cleric's shadow domain.

Shadowjump: This power allows the Darkblade to jump through shadows. The rules of use are exactly as Shadowstrike, only that you have to make a Jump DC of 15+distance + 1/3 the distance traveled.

Shadowhealing: When in complete darkness for one round, the Darkblade may choice to heal all damage done to him. When in shadowy illumination, he gains Regeneration, as if he was a troll.

Darkvision: The Darkblade has attuned himself qith shadows enough to see in pure darkness. At 8th level he gains Darkvision 10' and he adds 10' per level after wards, up to a total of 80' at level 15.

Improved Shadow Affinity: As Shadow Affinity, except it adds +5 instead of +1.

Swiftshadows, It no longer takes a move action to use Hardened Shadows. It now takes the place of 1 attack.
