Dark Skulk (Su) Because of their dark aspect, Dark Sneaks can always hide in plain sight when in shadows or darkness.
Negative Energy Touch (Su) Any melee attack by a dark sneak also inflicts 1d6 negative energy damage.
Negative Energy Ray (Su) A Dark sneak can fire a negative energy ray up to 30 feet, inflicting 1d6 points of damage. A dark sneak can use this ability as a standard action.
Resurrection Vulnerability (Su) A raise dead or similar spell cast on a Dark Sneak destroys it (Will negates). Using the spell in this way does not require a material component.


When a murderer has been slain by the use of negative energy it can rise as an undead known as a Dark Sneak. They are driven to homicidal frenzy and kill anything for sport. Though not harmed by sunlight, they detest it and avoid it in all but the most extreme circumstances.

Dark sneaks try to ambush victims from the shadows whenever possible – returning to hide in the darkness afterward. They will occasionally go out in disguise at night to suddenly attack unsuspecting victims.
