Shadow Walker Ability Descriptions
Shadow Veil: The shadow walker seems to blend into the shadows more easily than others, covering himself with a veil of darkness. He gains the listed bonus to all Hide checks.
Shadow jump (Su): A shadow walker can become one with the shadows, stepping into and travelling through them as if they were rivers of darkness. The shadow walker can move the distance shown as a standard action, bypassing any barriers as if they did not exist, so long as he begins and ends his jump in shadowed areas. Thus, a character hiding behind a boulder could shadow jump to the other side of the boulder to avoid searching foes. Moving in this way never provokes attacks of opportunity.
The shadow walker must be unrestrained (and able to actually “step into” the shadows) in order to use his shadow jump ability. If he is chained, grappled, pinned, or paralyzed he must first escape his bonds, succeed at an opposed grapple check, escape the pin, or somehow remove the paralysis before using his ability.
Hide in Plain Sight: At 11th level the shadow walker can use the Hide skill even while being observed and even if there is nothing to actually hide behind. This is the same as per the wildlander ability of the same name, but instead of being able to use it in natural terrain, the shadow walker may use the ability (hiding even while observed) any time he is in shadowy or darker illumination.
