Rogue Deadly Shadow (Alternate Capstone)

...and that's the only thing the description says! We have to discover the rest on our own. Just to spite me.

...and they keep on changing its hidden effect and listing what it actually does to keep you on your toes on your "Vague and Incorrect Descriptions" thread.

Excellent...I'll be going pure for that capstone

You know, just the name alone suggests some sort of marriage between ShadowDancer and Assasin prestige classes to me. Considering they fixed the issue of people not exiting stealth with melee attacks, I would guess that remaining in stealth will be some aspect of it.

Unless a movement speed boost in stealth is part of it, any capstone that kept you in stealth would suck big time in 90%+ of the game.

Personally, I'd rather see a capstone that benefits all rogues, not just assassins. I suggested in another thread that I would like to see the ability for level 20 rogues to add half of their SA damage to mobs that are currently immune to it. I think that would be an excellent incentive to stay pure, and it would be a fair increase in attack power in comparison to some of the other classes.

Of course, it will probably never happen. There is a line of enhancements already that allow rogues to add small amounts of SA damage to constructs, but I feel that line is weak and a waste of AP's.

I'm waiting eagerly to hear. I'm in the process of TRing my Rogue and was planning to go 19/1...and I am almost to the point I was going to take the non rogue level. The other capstone is now intersting, but I'm still not sure if its worth it. I'm looking forward to this one to see what it offers. Hmm...guess that will hold off my levelling for a bit

Im almost hoping it sucks worse than cheap death, because I was working gathering the stuff I'd need for a 19/1 rogue/monk unarmed fighter

Hide in Plain Sight for rogues?

I certainly hope not. The way they implemented HiPS for rangers is atrocious - the same thing as a rogue capstone would be even worse than Cheat Death.

Now if they implemented HiPS the way it should be, allowing you to enter sneak mode even if you've been spotted (and have mobs correctly lose you assuming you pass the right DCs) then that would be alright.

deadly shadow as in shadowform maybe.

might be a rework of tier 1 ninja spy monk pre.

I think a bonus feat and wisdom bonus to AC is a fine capstone.
