Hey guys I am reletively new at this. Well, I've been playing for three years but purposelly not read the DMG or MM to keep adventuring as much as a suprise as possible.

Now I'm starting a level 15 campaign with a free +3 level Level Adjustment. It themed so that we are all evil - but feel free to recommend anything good. I wanted to go a rogue or assassin, and was thinking of something that allows me to teleport/fly/go invisible. Something with a favoured class of Rogue would allow me to cross class to my hearts content. A pixie could be pretty good with the combination of flying and invisibility. A Rakshasa Naztharune is pretty sweet, but can only shadowjump once a day (I suppose I can buy magic items) and eats up all class levels. A windrazor would be cool, but it seems silly not spent the free +3LA. Something with damage reduction would be rad.

Anyone got any ideas? Also can you tell me what sourcebook you take it from as I don't own any of them.

Maybe take human and levels in Assassin. They have a couple of nice spells that can do such things. With level 15 and LA +0, you could start with a Rogue6/Assasin9 and would have almost all the spells from the beginning.

Since you get a free +3 LA that's an easy choice, Shade template from FR. Do it like this for an invisible assassin of doom

Rogue5/Shadow Dancer9. With the shade race, if you get spotted, the thing deserves to kill you...

Another good choice would be simply Shade swordsage 15 focusing on Diamond Mind, Shadow Hand and Setting sun schools

But that's just my opinion...

Dark Stalkers are natural rouges, and are a little indifferent to killing…at least killing humans.

How do templates work? Is a shadow template something that is specific to a Drow? Where do I read about it?

What source book is the dark stalker in?

How do templates work?

Templates are like adding a sub-race, for example, if your human was sired by a dragon, you add the half-dragon template. It modifies your racial qualities, sometimes increases LA, but gives you cool features.

Different templates can be applied to different "base creatures". I am not sure of the shadow template (it can probably be added to anything), but most of them specify certain creature types (humanoid, dragon, etc.).
