====== Shadow Bloodline ======

//Spirits from the shadow plane dally at times in the world of light, and such as these lay with your ancestors once upon a time, imparting the mystery of shadow-stuff into your lineage. You are often sullen and withdrawn, preferring to skulk at the fringes of social circles and keep to yourself, cultivating an air of mystery and majesty that is all your own.//

**Bloodline Skill:** [[priority:skills:stealth|Stealth]]

You gain [[priority:magic:spells:tier2:darkvision|]] 30 feet. At 9th level, you gain darkvision 60 feet. If you already possess darkvision, its range is increased by these amounts. You may now freely see through magical darkness which you have created, as if it were not there at all.

===== Shadow Well (Sp) =====
**Requirements:** Nighteye, [[chargen:common_terms#core_stats|CST]] 15, Stealth 10, 25 EXP

You can use the [[priority:skills:stealth|Stealth]] skill even while being observed, and without cover or concealment, as long as you are within 10 feet of a shadow other than your own. In addition, when within an area of darkness or dim light, as a Half Action you may choose to switch places with a willing ally within 60 feet, who must also be in darkness or dim light. 

At [[priority:magic|CL]]/[[priority:prowess|BaB]] 13, you can instead switch the positions of two willing allies, each of whom must be within 60 feet of you. This travel is otherwise identical to [[priority:magic:spells:tier4:dimension_door|]].
