Welcome

Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to present

Path of Shadow, the ninth volume in our

Legends & Lairs line of sourcebooks for the

d20 System. Path of Shadow brings together a

host of information for those characters inter-

ested in the arts of stealth, deception, and lar-

ceny.

Chapter 1 contains 19 new prestige classes for

use by rogue characters. These classes include

the aerialist, the night hunter, the psychic inter-

loper, and the royal assasin. Each prestige class

is accompanied by a new organization,

designed to fit into any campaign world.

Chapter 2 details more than a dozen new leg-

endary classes—special class options for high-

level rogue characters. Legendary classes were

first introduced in Path of the Sword, the

Legends & Lairs class resource for fighting char-

acters. These unique classes include the blood

thief, grey hand, fortune’s fool, and jack-of-

knives.

Chapter 3 presents several new alternate core

classes for use in any campaign. These include

the chameleon, the con artist, the delver, and

the psychic thief. The chapter provides suffi-

cient diversity that you could play the ever-

popular “all rogue” campaign that still features

very different player characters with distinct

skills, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses.

Chapter 5 details a broad selection of shadow

schools and organizations, from the razorfiend

tradition of drow knife-fighting to assassins’

guilds and thieves’ guilds. Schools and organi-

zations provide characters with new options if

they are willing to devote the time, energy,

money, and loyalty to a specialized calling or

organization.

CHAPTER ONE

Prestige

Introduction

This chapter contains 19 new prestige classes

for use by characters that are well versed in the

way of the rogue. These classes include the

aerialist, the royal assassin, the shadow hunter,

and the white rose.

Multiclassed fighters, clerics, sorcerers, wiz-

ards, and barbarians also do well as acolytes of

chance. Monks, paladins, and any characters of

a lawful mentality do not become acolytes of

chance.

Hit Die: d6.

Requirements

To qualify to become an acolyte of chance, a

character must fulfill all the following criteria.

The names and game statistics of the classes

are designated as Open Game Content, as are

all rules derived from the d20 System

Reference Document. Background and

descriptive text, including the prestige class

organizations, are designated as closed content.

Alignment: Any chaotic.

Base Attack Bonus: +4.

Skills: Two class skills 8 ranks each and

Knowledge (religion) 3 ranks.

Special: The character must make a life-chang-

ing (or life-threatening) decision with a coin

flip. Examples include: Save an evil cleric from

death or allow her to die, get married or do not

get married, or face the orc battalion head on.

Acolyte of Chance

The acolyte of chance is part rogue and part

religious devotee combined to create an odd

combination. Unlike clerics, the acolyte of

chance does not attend any regularly scheduled

ceremonies of worship to the luck goddess, but

rather worships in her own way. While her

rogue skills are important to her survival, it is

the aura of chance that develops around her that

provides many of her successes (and failures).

Rogues and bards make for the ideal acolyte of

chance, as their rogue skills are crucial.

Class Skills

The acolyte of chance’s class skills (and the

key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex),

Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Disable

Device (Int), Gather Information (Cha), Hide

(Dex), Innuendo (Wis), Intimidate (Cha),

Intuit Direction (Wis), Jump (Str), Listen

(Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Open Lock
