Class Features

Feature	Description
Hide in Plain Sight	A Shadow Dancer can use Hide while observed if within 10 feet of a shadow. The Shadow Dancer cannot hide in their own shadow. Use: Automatic.
Evasion	When a Reflex save would halve damage, a successful save prevents all damage. Requires light armor or no armor and does not work while helpless. Use: Automatic.
Darkvision	Allows the character to see in darkness. Use: Automatic.
Uncanny Dodge	Retains the Dexterity bonus to AC when flat-footed or attacked by a hidden or invisible creature. Use: Automatic.
Defensive Roll	Once per day, when an attack would reduce the character to 0 hit points or less, makes a Reflex save against DC equal to the damage dealt; success halves the damage. It cannot be used while flat-footed. Use: Automatic.
Improved Evasion	A successful Reflex save against a half-damage effect prevents all damage; a failed save takes only half damage. Requires light armor or no armor and does not work while helpless. Use: Automatic.
Shadow Evade	Grants a permanent 25% concealment bonus. This benefit is lost while flat-footed. Use: Automatic.
