== Description ==

"To be one with the wild, you must become wild yourself. It's only natural."

 Though the two classes seem to have little in common, the paths of the monk and the barbarian often converge in the fist of the forest. Monks and other disciplined characters seek heightened connections with nature through a primal devotion to its defense. Barbarians and other wild characters seem to simply end up on this path if they are fated for it.

 A character can achieve a maximum of 3 levels in the Fist of the Forest prestige class.

== Requirements ==
 
Base Attack Bonus +4 
Feats: Great Fortitude, Improved Unarmed Strike, Power Attack. 
Skills: Survival 4.

== Class Features ==
'''Hit Die''': d10

'''Base Attack Bonus''': High.

'''High Saves''': [[Fortitude]], [[Reflex]].

'''Weapon Proficiencies''': None.

'''Armor Proficiencies''': None. - Skill Points: 2 + Int modifier. 

'''Class Skills''': [[Acrobatics]], [[Craft Armor]], [[Craft Weapon]], [[Diplomacy]], [[Heal (skill)|Heal]], [[Intimidate]], [[Listen]], [[Lore: Arcana]], [[Parry]], [[Move Silently]], [[Spot]] and [[Survival]].

==Class Abilities==

'''Level 1''': AC Bonus, Bonus Feat: Dash, Feral Stance 1/day, Unarmed Damage Increase

'''Level 2''': Uncanny Dodge, Ki Strike (Magic)

'''Level 3''': Feral Stance 2/day, Blind-Fight

'''AC Bonus''': While unarmored, you gain a bonus to your dodge Armor Class equal to your Constitution bonus (if any). Only your base Constitution is used for this bonus (spell/item enhancements are not used). This bonus will not work while wildshaped.

'''Feral Stance''': Once per day, you can enter a feral battle trance. While you are in this state, the raw power of the beast flows through you. For the duration of the trance, you gain a +4 bonus to Dexterity and a +2 bonus on attack rolls. A feral trance lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + your Con modifier. At 3rd level, you can use this ability twice per day. The Extend Rage feat increases the duration by 5 rounds.

[[Fighter| Fighters]], [[Barbarian| barbarians]], [[Ranger| rangers]], and [[Paladin| paladins]] also find that shadowdancer abilities allow them to strike at their opponents with surprise and skill. [[Wizard| Wizard]], [[Sorcerer| sorcerer]], [[Cleric]], and [[Druid| druid]] shadowdancers employ the defensive capabilities inherent in the prestige class to allow them to cast their spells from safety and move away quickly. Despite their link with shadows and trickery, shadowdancers are as often good as evil.

== Abilities ==
Hide in Plain Sight 
At 1st level, a shadowdancer may attempt to enter stealth mode even while being observed. If the attempt fails, the shadowdancer may try again in 6 seconds (1 round).

Darkvision 
At 2nd level, the shadowdancer gains [[Darkvision| darkvision]], as the dwarf racial ability.

Evasion 
At 2nd level, whenever a shadowdancer succeeds on a Reflex [[Saving_throw| save]] against any effect which allows a save for half damage (such as a ''[[Fireball]]'' spell), the shadowdancer takes no damage.

Uncanny Dodge 
At 2nd level, the shadowdancer always retains their [[Dexterity]] bonus to [[AC]], even if caught [[Flat-foot| flat-footed]].

Summon Shadow 
Once [[Per_day| per day]], a 3rd-level shadowdancer can summon a shadow as a spell-like ability. On BGTSCC the Shadow Dancer's Summon Shadow creature was made stronger for the 3 variants.

Shadow Daze 
Once per day, a 3rd-level shadowdancer may inflict an illusory daze upon a target. This daze lasts for 5 rounds. On BGTSCC the Shadow Daze DC is 10 + Class Level + Dex Mod.

Shadow Evade 
Three times per day, a 4th-level shadowdancer may conceal themselves in shadow. For 1 rounds per class level, the shadowdancer has a 5% concealment bonus, 5/magic damage reduction, and +1 [[Dodge_bonus| dodge bonus]] to AC. At 6th level, the bonus becomes 10% concealment, 5/alchemical silver damage reduction, and +2 dodge bonus. At 8th level it becomes 15% concealment, 10/alchemical silver damage reduction, and +3 dodge bonus. At 10th level, Shadow Evade grants 20% concealment, 10/adamantine damage reduction and +4 dodge bonus. (note, duration used to be fixed at 5 rounds in default NWN2)

Defensive Roll 
At 5th level, when a shadowdancer suffer damage from an attack that would put them below 1 hit point, they may make a Reflex save to suffer only half damage. This ability is used automatically, but only works once per day.

Improved Uncanny Dodge 
At 5th level, the shadowdancer can no longer be [[Sneak_attack| sneak attacked]] except by a character with 4 or more total levels in classes that grant sneak attack than the [[Class_level| class levels]] of the shadowdancer.

Slippery Mind 
At 7th level, the shadowdancer becomes so cunning and elusive that even their mind is hard to pin down. Whenever the shadowdancer fails a saving throw against an enchantment spell or effect, they may immediately reroll the saving throw once, keeping the better of the two results.

Improved Evasion 
At 10th level, the shadowdancer's evasion ability improves. Now, they take only half damage even on failed Reflex saves.

Shadow Jump 
At 10th level, the shadowdancer gains the ability to jump from one shadow to another. This is a supernatural ability akin to the Shadow Walk spell. In reality the shadow dancer briefly enters the plane of shadow to move from one place to another on the prime material. This ability can only be used in the immediate area the shadow dancer is in. It cannot be used to transition to other areas.
