Because of their mastery of stealth and their generally mysterious nature, Shadowdancers are also viewed with at least some measure of distrust, even by their friends and those who may employ them as scouts or spies.

An adept Shadowdancer can disappear from sight in the blink of an eye, stalk one's enemies and attack them with both grace and lethality before disappearing once more just as fast. Such mastery also allows them to avoid or lessen attacks that might otherwise be fatal. Their training makes them equally at home in light as in shadows and even darkness. It is said that Shadowdancers can even bend shadows to their will, though this has been impossible to prove and is considered myth by most. Even so, many fantastic stories have been told of Shadowdancers and their seemingly supernatural abilities.<br /> | An adept Shadowdancer can disappear from sight in the blink of an eye, stalk one's enemies and attack them with both grace and lethality before disappearing once more just as fast.
