Min/Max Forum: Storm Shelter

A few millenia ago this ritual was prevented from happening, and demons did flood into Midgard.  Because banishing such creatures is exceptionally hard in this setting (except at times of conjunction) most of the more powerful demons that came through were imprisoned in Stone-henge prisons (Binding: hedged prison) surrounded by maximized, empowered Forbiddance spells to keep anyone from interacting with or trying to free them.

Unfortunately, regenerating trolls don't really care about a measly 93 average non-fire damage (twice, because the Forbiddance spells are layered in rings around the prisons), so they've taken to whoring themselves to the demons, making their tribes more powerful with half-fiend and fiendish trolls, and giving the demons an indirect hand in the world.  Several millenia of this, and trolls interbreeding with kidnapped humans, and you end up with tanarukk (flavored to be troll-blooded rather than orc-blooded) as well as numerous flavors of trolls with demonic blood in their veins.

An Ice Troll (Unapprochable East) is a CR 4 (GCR 3) 5 HD Large giant with Regen 4 (Fire/Acid) and vulnerability to fire.  Basically a normal troll with 1 less HD, 1 lower Regen, it's smarter, and immune to cold. And likes to wear armor.  The non-associated class levels info from the Monster Manual would have be believe that 4 levels of Warlock would only increase his CR from 4 to 6 (GCR from 3 to 5).

Human Barbarian 6//Warlock 6 (working toward Runescarred Berzerker) with the Mortal bane feat (the look on his face when he used it against a tanarukk for the first time...)  He wields a MW greatsword or a +1 longspear, and adds Hideous Blow eldritch blast damage to it.  He's got a Str of 18 or so, and hits quite often.

Half-Elf Barbarian 6//Beguiler 6 - Foes kept making their saves vs his enchantment spells, until just a few sessions ago (just random luck).  He puts his spells to good tactical use, if the opponents don't make their saves (also silences the party when ambushing, etc).  If those fail, he wades into battle, feinting people as a free action.

Human Druid 6//Sorcerer 6 - Wolverine animal companion.  He recently joined the group, so he's feeling out what he can accomplish with the druid aspect.  Has fireball and fiery burst [reserve].

Human Rogue 6//Wizard 6 - Also a new player to my group.  Also has fireball and fiery burst.  Has yet to score a sneak attack.

There is also a Druid 6//Ranger 1/Scout 5 NPC.  It was a former player's character that I slightly reworked and kept around, mostly because the party needs the extra healing.  Skirmishing with a flame blade doesn't hurt either, but he wasn't present this last time when the PC's first encountered some tanarukk.  Wolf animal companion.

Oddly enough, that Living Greyhawk game that I play with another group got a new player shortly after I joined, who is playing a BFC wizard.  I was quite delighted when I learned of this.  I still think he will bring a lot to the party (he's had some growing pains with finding the best placement of his BFC spells) but the rest of the party just gets annoyed, and want him to just blast things...  :rollseyes
They get annoyed because Web prevents them from getting up in the grill of the trapped creatures, and imposes a miss chance on ranged attack rolls.

Can't wait for his pyrotechnics (blindness) to just own a combat when he casts it off a flaming sphere I lay out there for him (I'm a druid).

This is what I mentioned before about the Jump skill having changed drastically from 3.0 to 3.5.  I won’t go into all the changes, but the appropriate DC for 3.5 is 12, but that DC was doubled because Urolph didn’t have a 20-foot running start.  Since the 3-foot wall was taller than Urolph’s waist, he could not hop up onto the wall (which wouldn’t have required a running start).

1.   What is your goal?
2.   Why are you consorting with demons?
      (We saw you enter the Styx Oarsman -> True Seeing)
3.   What is your plan to help the demons increase their power?
4.   Rule-of-Three is a known chaos sympathizer; why are you working with him?

MotP, p. 142:
Portals between the layers are insubstantial and erratic, and many of them tend to be one-way. By passing between two trees or ducking beneath a branch, the light changes from day to twilight (Krigala to Brux) or from dusk to night (Brux to Karasuthra). Such portals are common, so a wanderer may find his or her way back to the top layer of the Beastlands fairly easily.

*Includes adjustments for Power Attack feat.

Knockdown (Ex): A mountain troll that hits with a weapon or claw attack can attempt to trip the opponent as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking attacks of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the mountain troll.
Stability (Ex): Mountain trolls are exceptionally stable on their feet. A mountain troll has a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).
Skills: Mountain trolls can blend in with their mountain surroundings, providing them a +8 racial bonus on Hide checks in the mountains.
Ability Boost (Ex): As a war hulk gains levels in this prestigeclass, his Strength score increases. These increases stack.
No Time to Think (Ex): A character with levels in the war hulk prestige class is considered to have 0 ranks in all Intelligence-, Wisdom-, and Charisma-based skills (whether or not he has bought ranks in them previously). The only exception is the Intimidate skill, which works normally.
Great Swing (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a war hulk is able to make a great, sweeping swing with a melee weapon. As a full-round action, the war hulk can choose three squares adjacent to one another (he must threaten all of them). His attack applies to all creatures in those squares. Make one attack roll and apply that roll as an attack against each defender. If the war hulk uses a special attack (such as disarm, trip, or sunder), this special attack affects only the first target; the other creatures are attacked normally. Walls and similar obstacles can block a great swing. Start with one square that the war hulk threatens. Each successive square chosen must be adjacent to the previous square and have line of effect from that square. Two squares separated by a wall, for instance, can't be chosen as adjacent squares for a great swing. The war hulk may skip creatures, attacking only those he wants to. For example, if there are three creatures in a row—an enemy, an ally, and another enemy—the war hulk can choose those three squares for the great swing but strike only the two enemies. If a war hulk drops one of his foes with a great swing, he may make a cleave attack normally. However, he may do so only once for every time he swings, even if he drops more than one foe.
Mighty Rock Throwing (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, a war hulk gains a powerful rock throwing ability. The character can throw rocks that deal 2d8 points of damage with a range increment of 50 feet. (Like all thrown weapons, they have a maximum range of five range increments.) The war hulk uses his Strength modifier instead of his Dexterity modifier on the attack roll. The rock must weigh approximately 50 pounds.
Mighty Swing (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a war hulk can make a mighty swing. A mighty swing is like a great swing, except that it is a standard action rather than a full-round action. Thus, the character can move and make a mighty swing or (if he can make multiple attacks) make multiple mighty swings in a single round.
Sweeping Boulder (Ex): Starting at 6th level, a war hulk is able to throw his rocks with such force that they affect two adjacent squares. (The second square must be farther away from the war hulk than the first—they cannot be equidistant from him.) Make one attack roll and apply the result to each target. As with great swing, the war hulk must have line of effect from one square to the next.
Toughness: At 8th, 9th, and 10th level, a war hulk gains Toughness as a bonus feat.
Massive Sweeping Boulder (Ex): Starting at 8th level, a war hulk is able to throw his rocks with such force that they affect four squares in a line. (Each successive square chosen must be farther away from the character.) Only the first creature can be subject to damage from a critical hit or a sneak attack. As with great swing, the war hulk must have line of effect from one square to the next.
Catch Weapon (Ex): A hulking hurler gains the Snatch Arrows feat even if he does not meet the prerequisites. He may catch weapons of his size or smaller (and hurl them back at the attacker immediately if he chooses).
Really Throw Anything (Ex): A hulking hurler gains the Throw Anything feat (described in Chapter 3 of this book) as a bonus feat. However, since a hulking hurler depends on brute strength more than skill, he can throw anything (not just weapons) he can lift as a light load. If the item is an improvised weapon, he takes a —2 penalty on his attack roll instead of the normal —4. Use the rules in Chapter 4 of this book to determine the amount of damage the thrown weapon does.
   The range increment of a thrown weapon or improvised weapon wielded by a hulking hurler is 10 feet + 5 feet per size category the hulking hurler is beyond Large (this is a modification of the Throw Anything feat).
Two-Handed Hurl Trick (Ex): At 2nd level and again at 3rd level, a hulking hurler chooses one of the following tricks. In order to use any of these abilities, the hulking hurler must grip the weapon or improvised weapon in two hands and throw it as a full-round action.
Meteor Strike: As a full-round action, a hulking hurler deals extra damage equal to twice his Strength bonus on a successful hit with a thrown weapon.

Area Attack: The character makes an attack roll against a square the target creature occupies (AC 10) rather than the creature itself. Any creature in the square must succeed on a Reflex save (DC 10 + the hulking hurler's ranged attack bonus) or take full damage. This ability may only be used with a Huge or larger weapon.
Meteor Strike: As a full-round action, a hulking hurler deals extra damage equal to twice his Strength bonus on a successful hit with a thrown weapon.

Drop the Cha to 12, say that she actually did buy an 18 Intelligence, and then apply the +4 headband on top, to give her an intelligence of 26.

Book of Geometry (Ex): Every spell Valbryn learns requires only a single page in her
   spellbook. It still takes 24 hours to write each spell into her book and requires
   materials costing 100 gp per page. In addition, the DC of Spellcraft checks for
   a nongeometer to decipher or prepare spells from Valbryn’s spellbook is
   increased by 5.
Pass Sigil (Su): Valbryn can temporarily negate magical wards based on written symbols,
   sigils, runes, or glyphs. As a standard action, she can make a caster level check
   (DC 6 + the sigil creator’s caster level). If successful, she can suppress the
   effects of the device for as long as she maintains concentration. Valbryn must
   be able to see the device.
Sigilsight (Ex): Valbryn can use a Search check to find magic traps based on runes,
   glyphs, sigils, symbols, and other writing, as a rogue can. She gains a +11
   bonus on Search checks to find traps of this sort. If she comes within 10 feet
   of a magic rune, glyph, sigil, or symbol, or within the threshold of danger for
   such a device, she is entitled to make a Search check as if she were actively
   searching for a magic trap.
Spellglyph (Su): Valbryn can cast spells using spellglyphs. Such spells have a special
   material component (the spellglyph) that substitutes for the spell’s verbal component
   and any other material components it might normally require. When Valbryn casts a
   spell using a spellglyph, the spell is treated as if it were affected by the Silent Spell
   feat.

As above, this one is probably short skill points due to the increased intelligence.  For the 10th level of Wizard, I put 8 ranks into Concentration.

Book of Geometry (Ex): Every spell Valbryn learns requires only a single page in her
   spellbook. It still takes 24 hours to write each spell into her book and requires
   materials costing 100 gp per page. In addition, the DC of Spellcraft checks for
   a nongeometer to decipher or prepare spells from Valbryn’s spellbook is
   increased by 5.
Pass Sigil (Su): Valbryn can temporarily negate magical wards based on written symbols,
   sigils, runes, or glyphs. As a standard action, she can make a caster level check
   (DC 6 + the sigil creator’s caster level). If successful, she can suppress the
   effects of the device for as long as she maintains concentration. Valbryn must
   be able to see the device.
Sigilsight (Ex): Valbryn can use a Search check to find magic traps based on runes,
   glyphs, sigils, symbols, and other writing, as a rogue can. She gains a +11
   bonus on Search checks to find traps of this sort. If she comes within 10 feet
   of a magic rune, glyph, sigil, or symbol, or within the threshold of danger for
   such a device, she is entitled to make a Search check as if she were actively
   searching for a magic trap.
Spellglyph (Su): Valbryn can cast spells using spellglyphs. Such spells have a special
   material component (the spellglyph) that substitutes for the spell’s verbal component
   and any other material components it might normally require. When Valbryn casts a
   spell using a spellglyph, the spell is treated as if it were affected by the Silent Spell
   feat.

Like other canomorphs, a vultivor can appear as any humanoid. Grayish skin, black and hungry eyes, and a long, lupine face often mark its humanoid guises. It tends to be cruel and subtle, taking great pleasure in the misfortunes of others.
   A vultivor speaks Common and Abyssal.

Combat
The vultivor described here is based on an exceptional 14th-level vorr gestalt scout. Vultivors are stealthy and patient murderers, stalking their victims until they see an opportunity to make a sneak attack. A vultivor often shifts to its vorr form
to speed its escape from the scene of a crime.
   Sneak Attack (Ex): Anytime a vultivor’s target is denied a Dexterity bonus, or when a target is flanked by a vultivor, the vultivor deals an additional 2d6 points of damage on a successful melee attack.
   Trip (Ex): A vultivor that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip its opponent as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the vultivor. The vultivor can only attempt to trip in this manner while in its vorr form.
   Shadow Form (Su): Once per day, a vultivor can assume the form of a living shadow for up to 10 minutes. While in shadow form, the vultivor can move at normal speed on any surface, including walls and ceilings, and even across liquids. The vultivor gains a +15 circumstance bonus on Hide checks. Effects that detect thoughts, life, or presences (including true seeing) can detect it.
   While in shadow form, a vultivor gains damage reduction 50/+5 and is immune to blindness, critical hits, damage to ability scores from nonmagical attacks, deafness, disease, drowning, poison, and stunning. It takes half damage from fire and acid.
   Shadow Jump (Su): As a standard action, a vultivor can travel between shadows as if by a dimension doorspell. The starting and ending points of the jump must be in shadow, and these points must be at least 10 feet apart. A vultivor can make several shadow jumps in one day, as long as the total distance traveled in this fashion per day does not exceed 280 feet. (Includes 160 feet from vultivor + 120 feet from Telflammar Shadowlord.)
   Change Shape (Su): A canomorph can assume the form of any Small, Medium or Large humanoid. It retains the extraordinary attacks of its original form regardless of its new form. Changing shape to or from its original form requires a move action.
   Command Fiendish Hound (Sp): All canomorphs can use greater command at will against fiendish hounds of their associated kind (hell hounds for haraknins, shadow mastiffs for shadurakuls, and vorrs for vultivors). These creatures will never voluntarily attack a canomorph of the associated kind.
   Outsider Traits: Canomorphs have darkvision (60-foot range), and they cannot be raised or resurrected (though a wish or miracle spell can restore life).
   Scent (Ex): A canomorph can detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
   Uncanny Dodge (Ex): This vultivor retains its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class even when flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker.
   Skills: *Vultivors have a +8 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.
   Shadow Jump (Su): A Telflammar shadowlord can travel between shadows as if by means of a dimension door spell. The limitation is that the magical transport must begin and end in an area with at least some shadow or darkness. The shadowlord can jump up to a total of 20 feet per class level per day in this way. This amount can be split  up  among  many  jumps,  but each  jump,  no  matter  how  small, counts as a 10-foot increment.  If the Telflammar shadowlord already has shadow jump from another class (because he did not meet the spellcasting prerequisite, for example), this ability confers no additional benefit.
   Shadowsight (Ex):  Gifted with a mystical connection to shadow and darkness, the shadowlord gains a superior form of darkvision with a 60-foot range. He can see through any form of normal or magical darkness without hindrance.
   Shadow Blur (Su):  At 2nd level, a Telflammar shadowlord gains an unusual defense—anytime he is not in daylight or the illuminated radius of a light source, the shadows cloak his every movement, conferring the benefits of a blur spell. The shadowlord can choose to activate or end this effect as a free action.
   Shadow Walk (Sp):  Once per day starting at 3rd level, a Telflammar shadowlord may use shadow walk as a caster whose level is equal to his shadowlord class level. If he previously possessed the ability to use shadow walk as a spell-like ability, he gains a second daily use of that power.
   Shadow Pounce (Ex): At 4th level, a Telflammar shadowlord learns how to attack swiftly from the shadows. Any time he uses an ability, spell, or effect with the teleportation descriptor (for example, his shadow jump ability), he may execute a full attack upon completion of the teleportation. The shadowlord must have line of sight on his intended target from his original location, and the spot to which he teleports must be a place from which he can launch a melee attack at the intended target with whatever weapon he has in hand at the beginning of his action.
   Shadow Discorporation (Su): At 5th level, a Telflammar shadowlord learns how to use his mastery of shadows to cheat death. If the shadowlord is in shadow or darkness (anything but direct daylight or the illuminated radius of a light source), any damage that would reduce him to 0 hit points or below instead has a chance to discorporate him. The shadowlord attempts a Reflex save (DC 5 + damage dealt); if successful, he simply breaks apart into dozens of flitting shadows and vanishes, along with anything he is holding or carrying. At the next sunset, the shadowlord reappears at a spot of his choosing within one mile of the place where he was forced to discorporate. While discorporated, the shadowlord simply does not exist—he can do nothing, nor can any of his enemies do anything to him.
   Death Attack (Ex):  At 6th level, a Telflammar shadowlord gains the ability to make a death attack as the assassin ability.  If the shadowlord has levels in the assassin prestige class, he may add his assassin and Telflammar shadowlord class levels together to calculate the save DC of his death attack.
   Death Attack (Ex):  If an assassin studies his victim for 3 rounds and then makes a sneak attack with a melee weapon that successfully deals damage, the sneak attack has the additional effect of possibly either paralyzing or killing the target (assassin’s choice). While studying the victim, the assassin can undertake other actions so long as his attention stays focused on the target and the target does not detect the assassin or recognize the assassin as an enemy. If the victim of such an attack fails a Fortitude save (DC 10 + the assassin’s class level + the assassin’s Int modifier; Fort DC 17) against the kill effect, she dies. If the saving throw fails against the paralysis effect, the victim is rendered helpless and unable to act for 1d6 rounds plus 1 round per level of the assassin. If the victim’s saving throw succeeds, the attack is just a normal sneak attack. Once the assassin has completed the 3 rounds of study, he must make the death attack within the next 3 rounds.
   If a death attack is attempted and fails (the victim makes her save) or if the assassin does not launch the attack within 3 rounds of completing the study, 3 new rounds of study are required before he can attempt another death attack.
   Trackless Step (Ex):  Beginning at 3rd level, a scout cannot be tracked in natural surroundings.
A scout leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked. She may choose to leave a trail if so desired.
   Bonus Feats: Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, Improved Skirmish, Improved Initiative.
   Flawless Stride (Ex):  Starting at 6th level, a scout can move through any sort of terrain that slows movement (such as undergrowth, rubble, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment.
   This ability does not let her move more quickly through terrain that requires a Climb or Swim check to navigate, nor can she move quickly through terrain or undergrowth that has been magically manipulated to impede motion.
   A scout loses this benefit when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.
   Camouflage (Ex):  Beginning at 8th level, a scout can use the Hide skill in any sort of natural terrain, even if the terrain doesn't grant cover or concealment.  She loses this benefit when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.
   Hide in Plain Sight (Ex):  Beginning at 14th level, a scout can use the Hide skill in natural terrain even while being observed.  A scout loses this benefit when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.
   Blindsense (Ex):  At 10th level, a scout gains the blindsense ability out to 30 feet.

   Spells: Casts spells similarly to a Wizard, with a spellbook.

Like other canomorphs, a vultivor can appear as any humanoid. Grayish skin, black and hungry eyes, and a long, lupine face often mark its humanoid guises. It tends to be cruel and subtle, taking great pleasure in the misfortunes of others.
   A vultivor speaks Common and Abyssal.

Combat
The vultivor described here is based on an exceptional 14th-level vorr gestalt scout. Vultivors are stealthy and patient murderers, stalking their victims until they see an opportunity to make a sneak attack. A vultivor often shifts to its vorr form
to speed its escape from the scene of a crime.
   Sneak Attack (Ex): Anytime a vultivor’s target is denied a Dexterity bonus, or when a target is flanked by a vultivor, the vultivor deals an additional 2d6 points of damage on a successful melee attack.
   Trip (Ex): A vultivor that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip its opponent as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the vultivor. The vultivor can only attempt to trip in this manner while in its vorr form.
   Shadow Form (Su): Once per day, a vultivor can assume the form of a living shadow for up to 10 minutes. While in shadow form, the vultivor can move at normal speed on any surface, including walls and ceilings, and even across liquids. The vultivor gains a +15 circumstance bonus on Hide checks. Effects that detect thoughts, life, or presences (including true seeing) can detect it.
   While in shadow form, a vultivor gains damage reduction 50/+5 and is immune to blindness, critical hits, damage to ability scores from nonmagical attacks, deafness, disease, drowning, poison, and stunning. It takes half damage from fire and acid.
   Shadow Jump (Su): As a standard action, a vultivor can travel between shadows as if by a dimension doorspell. The starting and ending points of the jump must be in shadow, and these points must be at least 10 feet apart. A vultivor can make several shadow jumps in one day, as long as the total distance traveled in this fashion per day does not exceed 280 feet. (Includes 160 feet from vultivor + 120 feet from Telflammar Shadowlord.)
   Change Shape (Su): A canomorph can assume the form of any Small, Medium or Large humanoid. It retains the extraordinary attacks of its original form regardless of its new form. Changing shape to or from its original form requires a move action.
   Command Fiendish Hound (Sp): All canomorphs can use greater command at will against fiendish hounds of their associated kind (hell hounds for haraknins, shadow mastiffs for shadurakuls, and vorrs for vultivors). These creatures will never voluntarily attack a canomorph of the associated kind.
   Outsider Traits: Canomorphs have darkvision (60-foot range), and they cannot be raised or resurrected (though a wish or miracle spell can restore life).
   Scent (Ex): A canomorph can detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
   Uncanny Dodge (Ex): This vultivor retains its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class even when flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker.
   Skills: *Vultivors have a +8 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.
   Shadow Jump (Su): A Telflammar shadowlord can travel between shadows as if by means of a dimension door spell. The limitation is that the magical transport must begin and end in an area with at least some shadow or darkness. The shadowlord can jump up to a total of 20 feet per class level per day in this way. This amount can be split  up  among  many  jumps,  but each  jump,  no  matter  how  small, counts as a 10-foot increment.  If the Telflammar shadowlord already has shadow jump from another class (because he did not meet the spellcasting prerequisite, for example), this ability confers no additional benefit.
   Shadowsight (Ex):  Gifted with a mystical connection to shadow and darkness, the shadowlord gains a superior form of darkvision with a 60-foot range. He can see through any form of normal or magical darkness without hindrance.
   Shadow Blur (Su):  At 2nd level, a Telflammar shadowlord gains an unusual defense—anytime he is not in daylight or the illuminated radius of a light source, the shadows cloak his every movement, conferring the benefits of a blur spell. The shadowlord can choose to activate or end this effect as a free action.
   Shadow Walk (Sp):  Once per day starting at 3rd level, a Telflammar shadowlord may use shadow walk as a caster whose level is equal to his shadowlord class level. If he previously possessed the ability to use shadow walk as a spell-like ability, he gains a second daily use of that power.
   Shadow Pounce (Ex): At 4th level, a Telflammar shadowlord learns how to attack swiftly from the shadows. Any time he uses an ability, spell, or effect with the teleportation descriptor (for example, his shadow jump ability), he may execute a full attack upon completion of the teleportation. The shadowlord must have line of sight on his intended target from his original location, and the spot to which he teleports must be a place from which he can launch a melee attack at the intended target with whatever weapon he has in hand at the beginning of his action.
   Shadow Discorporation (Su): At 5th level, a Telflammar shadowlord learns how to use his mastery of shadows to cheat death. If the shadowlord is in shadow or darkness (anything but direct daylight or the illuminated radius of a light source), any damage that would reduce him to 0 hit points or below instead has a chance to discorporate him. The shadowlord attempts a Reflex save (DC 5 + damage dealt); if successful, he simply breaks apart into dozens of flitting shadows and vanishes, along with anything he is holding or carrying. At the next sunset, the shadowlord reappears at a spot of his choosing within one mile of the place where he was forced to discorporate. While discorporated, the shadowlord simply does not exist—he can do nothing, nor can any of his enemies do anything to him.
   Death Attack (Ex):  At 6th level, a Telflammar shadowlord gains the ability to make a death attack as the assassin ability.  If the shadowlord has levels in the assassin prestige class, he may add his assassin and Telflammar shadowlord class levels together to calculate the save DC of his death attack.
   Death Attack (Ex):  If an assassin studies his victim for 3 rounds and then makes a sneak attack with a melee weapon that successfully deals damage, the sneak attack has the additional effect of possibly either paralyzing or killing the target (assassin’s choice). While studying the victim, the assassin can undertake other actions so long as his attention stays focused on the target and the target does not detect the assassin or recognize the assassin as an enemy. If the victim of such an attack fails a Fortitude save (DC 10 + the assassin’s class level + the assassin’s Int modifier; Fort DC 17) against the kill effect, she dies. If the saving throw fails against the paralysis effect, the victim is rendered helpless and unable to act for 1d6 rounds plus 1 round per level of the assassin. If the victim’s saving throw succeeds, the attack is just a normal sneak attack. Once the assassin has completed the 3 rounds of study, he must make the death attack within the next 3 rounds.
   If a death attack is attempted and fails (the victim makes her save) or if the assassin does not launch the attack within 3 rounds of completing the study, 3 new rounds of study are required before he can attempt another death attack.
   Trackless Step (Ex):  Beginning at 3rd level, a scout cannot be tracked in natural surroundings.
A scout leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked. She may choose to leave a trail if so desired.
   Bonus Feats: Weapon Finesse, Mobility, Spring Attack, Improved Skirmish, Combat Expertise.
   Flawless Stride (Ex):  Starting at 6th level, a scout can move through any sort of terrain that slows movement (such as undergrowth, rubble, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment.
   This ability does not let her move more quickly through terrain that requires a Climb or Swim check to navigate, nor can she move quickly through terrain or undergrowth that has been magically manipulated to impede motion.
   A scout loses this benefit when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.
   Camouflage (Ex):  Beginning at 8th level, a scout can use the Hide skill in any sort of natural terrain, even if the terrain doesn't grant cover or concealment.  She loses this benefit when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.
   Hide in Plain Sight (Ex):  Beginning at 14th level, a scout can use the Hide skill in natural terrain even while being observed.  A scout loses this benefit when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.
   Blindsense (Ex):  At 10th level, a scout gains the blindsense ability out to 30 feet.
   Arcane Attunement (Sp): You can use the spell-like powers dancing lights, detect magic, flare, ghost sound, and read magic a combined total of times per day equal to 3 + your Int modifier. These spell-like powers do not count against your total of spells known or spells per day. 
   Armored Mage (Ex): Normally, armor of any type interferes with an arcane spellcaster’s gestures, which can cause spells to fail if those spells have a somatic component. A duskblade’s limited focus and specialized training, however, allows you to avoid arcane spell failure so long as you stick to light armor and light shields. This training does not extend to medium or heavy armors, nor to heavy shields. This ability does not apply to spells gained from a different spellcasting class.
   Mantle of Darkness (Ex): You can make Hide checks in any kind of darkness, even when observed by creatures that can see in darkness.
   Telepathic Static (Su): Beginning at 1st level, you emit a field of psychic chatter out to a range of 20 feet, negating the telepathy ability of all creatures within range. In addition, divination spells and spell-like abilities cast or used in the area are impeded. To use divination magic, a caster must succeed on a Spellcraft check (DC 20 + the level of the spell). If the check fails, the spell or spell-like ability does not function but is still lost as a prepared spell, spell slot, or daily use. If the check succeeds, the spell functions normally. You can suppress this ability for 1 round as a free action.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oath Bond (Su): A verdant prince can strike a powerful supernatural bargain with another willing creature. The bargain can be nearly anything, but must involve an exchange of services or goods. A verdant prince can make an oath bond with only one creature at a time. If either party does not hold up its end of the bargain, it takes a –6 penalty to all ability scores and is sickened until the bargain is fulfilled. When a bargain isn’t fulfilled, the wronged party becomes immediately aware of the broken oath and gains a constant awareness of the oath breaker’s distance and direction. This awareness does not extend across the boundaries of planes, but it does relate the information that an oathbreaker is not on the same plane. Only death or a wish or miracle spell can end an oath bond before the bargain is fulfilled or negate the penalties that a broken oath bond imposes. When the oath bond is negated by death or magic, the other party becomes aware that the oath was ended or suppressed but not how or where.

Shadow Blend (Su): In any conditions other than full daylight, a shadow creature can disappear into the shadows, giving it total concealment. Artificial illumination, even a light or continual flame spell, does not negate this ability, but a daylight spell will.

Unearthly Grace (Su): A verdant prince adds its Charisma modifier as a bonus on saving throws, and as a deflection bonus to Armor Class. Included above.

Antiquarian (Ex): When examining divine items and religious relics, you gain a bonus equal to your Wisdom modifier on all Appraise checks as an extraordinary ability.
   In addition, if you examine a magic item created using a spell from the cleric or paladin list, or an item with special religious significance, you can attempt a Knowledge (religion) check (DC 10 + the item's caster level) to identify it exactly as a spell-like ability.  This works like the identify spell (caster level equals your rogue level) but requires no material component.  You can use this ability on only one item per day.

Spell Reflection (Su):  You gain the supernatural ability to reflect magical attacks back on their caster.  If an enemy misses with a spell or spell-like ability aimed at you, you can use an immediate action to redirect the effect back at its originator.  The spell or ability attacks the original caster (who makes a new attack roll using the same modifier as the original attack).  If it hits, the caster is subject to the normal effect of the spell or ability.
   This effect applies only to spells and spell-like abilities that require an attack roll.  Other spells and spell-like abilities that affect a target aren't subject to this reflection.
   If a single spell or ability misses you more than once at the same time (such as scorching ray), you can redirect each portion of the spell that missed.
   You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 1 + your Dex modifier (minimum 1/day).

Battle Fortitude: +1 to Fortitude saves and initiative checks.

Shadowsight (Ex):  A shadowlord gains a superior form of darkvision with 60-foot range.  He can see through any form of normal or magical darkness without hinderance.

Shadow Jump (Su):  A Telflammar shadowlord can travel between shadows as if by means of a dimension door spell.  The limitation is that the magical transport must begin and end in an area with at least some shadow or darkness.  The shadowlord can jump up to a total of 100 feet per day in this way.  The amount can be split up among many jumps, but each jump, no matter how small, counts as a 10-foot increment.

Shadow Blur (Su):  A Telflammar shadowlord gains an unusual defense - anytime he is not in daylight or the illuminated radius of a light source, the shadows cloak his every movement, conferring the benefits of a blur spell.  The shadowlord can choose to activate or end this effect as a free action.

Shadow Walk (Sp):  Once per day starting at 3rd level, a Telflammar shadowlord may use shadow walk as a caster whose level is equal to his shadowlord class level.  If he previously possessed the ability to use shadow walk as a spell-like ability, he gains a second daily use of that power.

Shadow Pounce (Ex):  A 4th level, a Telflammar shadowlord learns how to attack swiftly from the shadows.  Any time he uses an ability, spell, or effect with the teleportation descriptor (for example, his shadow jump ability), he may execute a full attack upon completion of the teleportation.  The shadowlord must have live of sight on his intended target from his original location, and the spot to which he teleports must be a place from which he can launch a melee attack at the intended target with whatever weapon he has in hand at the beginning of his action.

Shadow Discorporation (Su):  A 5th level, a Telflammar shadowlord learns how to use his mastery of shadows to cheat death.  If the shadowlord is in shadow or darkness (anything but direct daylight or the illuminated radius of a light source), any damage that would reduce him to 0 hit points or below instead has a chance to discorporate him.  The shadowlord attempts a Reflex save (DC 5 + damage dealt); if successful, he simply breaks apart into dozens of flitting shadows and vanishes, along with anything he is holding or carrying.  At the next sunset, the shadowlord reappears at a spot of his choosing within one mile of the place where he was forced to discorporate.  While discorporated, the shadowlord simply does not exist - he can do nothing, nor can any of his enemies do anything to him.
