    A slight, shadowy figure that seems to blur at the edges, more suggestion than solid form in dim light. The darkling scout moves like smoke through darkness, slipping between shadows with unnatural ease. Torchlight makes it flinch and stumble, revealing glimpses of pale skin and too-large eyes before it darts away. Some work as informants for thieves and smugglers, their fey nature carefully hidden beneath hoods and cloaks. In a fight, they don't stand and trade blows - they vanish into shadow, reappear behind you, and send bolts of cold darkness before melting away again.

    Special Attack

    Shadow Dart: 30 ft, save Dex Quick, fail save roll 1d6+1 necrotic damage, cooldown 3 rounds.

    Special Defense

    Shadow Burst: Bright light, attack and perception save Dex Quick, fail save roll impaired, at start of turn -2 to hit for 2 rounds. Shadow Step. Shadow Stealth: In dim/darkness gains superior concealment while moving slowly with only a 10% chance of being detected if activly searched for within 30 feet, but bright lights will negate.
