Kits (EE)

Stalker. Stalkers serve as covert intelligence-gatherers, comfortable in both wilderness and urban settings. They are the spies, informants, and interrogators and their mastery of stealth makes them deadly opponents.

  • Armor. The Stalker may only wear Leather, Studded Leather, or Hide Armor.

  • Stealth Bonus. The Stalker gains a permanent +20% bonus to Move Silently and Hide in Shadows.

  • Wizard Spells. At 12th level, the Stalker learns the following wizard spells: Haste, Protection From Normal Missiles, Minor Spell Deflection.

  • Backstab. The Stalker gains the benefit of the Thief class's backstab multiplier, which multiplies the weapon damage of any successful attack the Stalker makes by two, if the Stalker is using Stealth and standing behind their target. At 9th level, the multiplier increases to x3. At 17th level, it increases to x4.
