Nifft 07-09-03, 12:47 PM	Thanks! Any comment on the appropriateness of CR 4? Its DR 20/+1 seems a little harsh for an unprepared 4th level party... On the other hand, its low HD make it a bit of a paper tiger. -- Nifft

I think it'll be rather easy for these guys to get into the Shadowdancer PrC, too... though with Teleport at Will, Hide in Plain Sight isn't so exciting... hmmm.... -- Nifft

It won't act with the sort of subtlety that could make it really nasty. --Paul
