Stalker

Stealthy and lethal, Stalkers are masters of the silent hunt. Moving like shadows and striking with precision, they excel in taking down their prey in one decisive blow. Their proficiency in blending into their surroundings and dealing high damage makes them formidable adversaries, capable of dispatching enemies before they even know they are under threat.

Clearly, Agility is of great importance to a Stalker, but their second attribute will depend on their means of dispatching their prey. Those who prefer to use blades or projectile weapons will want a high Dexterity; those who use less elegant weapons, or unarmed strikes, will prefer Body. (Though be aware of the Unarmed Finesse feature, below.)

†Body or Dexterity.
‡Distribute these as you see fit.

The Stalker is not as robust as some other classes. When you select this class for your foe, it gains five stamina, plus five times its Level.

The Stalker is Trained in Acrobatics or Athletics, as well as Perception and Stealth. Choose one combat skill; the Stalker is also Trained in that skill. A foe with this class will have training ranks in any Trained skill equal to their level.

Add the foe's Level to its Agility defence, and also to its Foresight defence.
