Notes

• Requires Shadows of Undrentide.
• Often only 1 level of Shadowdancer is taken to gain access to the Hide in Plain Sight feat. This has lead to many servers imposing minimum-level restrictions for this class.
• Epic Shadowdancers can come into their own, especially multiclass Rogue/Shadowdancers as they have a number of abilities for supporting sneak attack. Summon Shadow can be used for flanking, Shadow Daze can grant flat-footed conditions and Hide in Plain Sight can grant invisible attacker benefits.
• Shadowdancer and Weapon Master are the only classes lacking the generic class skills craft weapon, craft trap, craft armor as well as concentration and Parry (all are cross-class skills).
• The Epic Shadowlord feat can be taken as epic bonus feat only.
