Arelith Changes

Change	Level	Description
Invisible Strike	1	Whenever the character makes a successful attack against an opponent who is flat-footed, cannot see them, or who is in combat with someone else, the character's blow delivers extra damage. +1d6 sneak attack per feat level. Note: This feat itself will not grant sneak attacks. Other class appropriate sneak attack feats will be added instead. This is due to engine limitations.
Unfettered Defense	1	Grants +1 deflection AC bonus per base int modifier + 1. Cannot exceed class level. Capped at 4.
Bleeding Wound	2	Activate to deal one stack of bleeding wound for 1 turn, sacrificing 1d6 extra damage that comes from Invisible Strike. Requires a sneak attack. Note: This is not a Combat Mode and will not deactivate an active Combat Mode Bleeding wound will cause 1 magical damage per stack every round. Dealing more bleeding wounds will refresh the duration of this effect and increase the stack by 1. Restoration, Greater Restoration or Healing Kits clears this effect. DC for healing kit is 25 + (Stack size / 2).
Crippling Throw	3	Throw a hidden blade at target's leg. This ability has a 2 turn cooldown. Wound effect is multiplied by 3 and DC is increased by 3 if attack was a sneak attack. Applies 3 bleeding wound stacks and 25% movement speed decrease without reflex save. Additionally, a Reflex Save is made to avoid further effects. DC is (Invisible Blade levels * 2) + INT modifier + (Sleight of Hand / 3). Failed reflex extends duration to 2 rounds and also slow effect is applied.
Uncanny Feint	5	A quick Jab, a thrown pocket of sand, a flash of a knife which seeks no flesh. All to distract and misdirect ones opponent. Whilst usually weaved in with ones offense one truly skilled in misdirection can use this to determine where a foe will swing. An Invisible blade's attempts to feint and misdirect become uncannily impressive and almost supernatural in origin. Every two rounds Invisible Blade will make a sleight of hand skill check vs current opponent's discipline. Upon success, opponent will lose 2 AC. If invisible blade changes his opponent, old opponent will gain his AC back. If invisible blade fails a check after a successful check, opponent will regain his lost AC. Multiple Invisible Blades cannot stack the effect against a single target.
Improved Bleeding Wound	5	Activate to deal three stacks of bleeding wound for 1 turn, sacrificing 3d6 extra damage that comes from invisible strike. Requires a sneak attack. Note: This is not a Combat Mode and will not deactivate an active Combat Mode Bleeding wound will cause 1 magical damage per stack every round. Dealing more bleeding wounds will refresh the duration of this effect and increase the stack by 1. Restoration, Greater Restoration or Healing Kits clears this effect. DC for healing kit is 25 + (Stack size / 2). Critical hits leaves 1 stack of bleeding wound. (Combat mode and sneak does not have to be active for a critical hit stack of bleeding wound.)
