Shadowdancer

Description

Shadowdancers have a mysterious connection to the Plane of Shadow, making them especially effective at avoiding notice, evading enemy attacks, and using dark forces to dispatch their foes.

This Martial Epic Destiny gains bonuses to sneak attack damage, dodging and evasion, stealth-related skills, and trap detection/disabling skills. They also have the ability to 'mark' targets before killing them. This in turn grants them the ability to gain control of enemies, take on a shadowy form, or even have a creature's own shadow consume them.
