day in this way. This amount can be
split up among many jumps, but
each jump, no matter how small,
counts as a 10-foot increment. If
the Telflammar shadowlord already
has shadow jump from another
class (because he did not
meet the spellcasting prerequisite,
for example), this ability confers
no additional benefit.
Shadow Blur (Su): At 2nd level,
a Telflammar shadowlord gains
an unusual defense—anytime he is
not in daylight or the illuminated
radius of a light source, the shadows
cloak his every movement,
conferring the benefits of a blur
spell. The shadowlord can choose
to activate or end this effect as a
free action.
Shadow Walk (Sp): Once per
day starting at 3rd level, a Telflammar
shadowlord may use
shadow walk as a caster whose level
is equal to his shadowlord class
level. If he previously possessed the
ability to use shadow walk as a spelllike
ability, he gains a second daily use
of that power.
Shadow Pounce (Ex): At 4th level, a Telflammar shadowlord
learns how to attack swiftly from the shadows. Any time
he uses an ability, spell, or effect with the teleportation descriptor
(for example, his shadow jump ability), he may execute
a full attack upon completion of the teleportation. The
shadowlord must have line of sight on his intended target
from his original location, and the spot to which he teleports
must be a place from which he can launch a melee attack at
the intended target with whatever weapon he has in hand at
the beginning of his action.
Shadow Discorporation (Su): At 5th level, a Telflammar
shadowlord learns how to use his mastery of shadows to cheat
death. If the shadowlord is in shadow or darkness (anything
but direct daylight or the illuminated radius of a light source),
any damage that would reduce him to 0 hit points or below instead
has a chance to discorporate him. The shadowlord attempts
a Reflex save (DC 5 + damage dealt); if successful, he simply
breaks apart into dozens of flitting shadows and vanishes, along

with anything he is holding or carrying. At the next
sunset, the shadowlord reappears at a spot of his choosing
within one mile of the place where he was forced to
discorporate. While discorporated, the shadowlord simply
does not exist—he can do nothing, nor can any of his enemies
do anything to him.
Death Attack (Ex): At 6th level, a Telflammar
shadowlord gains the ability to
make a death attack as the assassin ability.
If the shadowlord has levels in the assassin
prestige class (see Chapter 2:
Characters in the DUNGEON
MASTER’s Guide), he may add his assassin
and Telflammar shadowlord
class levels together to calculate the
save DC of his death attack.

Thayan Slaver
Thayan slavers are cruel marauders who use their awful
abilities to abduct creatures and then break their wills. They
are experts at creating docile slaves who obey their masters
without question.
Most Thayan slavers start out as rogues, but they can come
from any class other than paladin. Evil sorcerers and wizards
sometimes become Thayan slavers to more easily handle assistants
and even subjects for their wicked experiments. Some
evil fighters and barbarians find the prestige class is a natural
