Way of Shadowdancing
Description
Compare to the core book's Way of Shadow
Monks of the shadowdancing tradition are more than just stealthy assassins; they have mastered their ki to become one with the shadows. As they continue their training, they strengthen their connection to the plane of shadow, giving them the ability to perform supernatural feats of subterfuge and jaunt through that very realm of darkness. They are known as ninjas in some regions, and they can serve as spies, killers, and saboteurs for hire. Alternatively, their monastery might only send them on specific missions towards some secret agenda as hidden as the shadowdancers themselves.
