Shadow Knight

Shadow Knights are warriors that have mastered the use of the shadows in order to increase their fighting prowess. Striking from the darkness and confusing their foes.

Fighters, Rogues, and ocasionally Druids and Barbarians are all included in this class, though the more stealthy Rogues are the most common. Normaly showing up in isolated swamplands or tribal areas where mastery over the shadows and dark arts seems to be more common they can even be found occasionally leading a local theives guild in a large city. To be brief, they can be found just about anywhere if one knows where to look.

Shadow knights are not nessisarily evil and in the case of isolated areas and tribes of lesser humanoids they usually rise to the top in little or no time and end up running the tribe. Many may take on aprentices and teach the arts in secretive guilds so that the talent may not die with them.
