Evasion (Ex): At 4 th level, an explorer has learnt evasive
techniques, avoiding even magical and unusual attacks with
his tremendous agility. If he makes a successful Reflex
saving throw against an attack that normally deals half
damage on a successful save (such as a fireball spell), he
instead takes no damage from that attack, though a failed
save still results in full damage. This ability can only be
used when the explorer is wearing light or no armour.
Certain Stride (Ex): The Underdeep is not a place of level
floors and wide passages, but rather is one of shifting slopes,
crumbled rubble and narrow crevices. The explorer is able
to move easily through terrain that would be difficult for
others. So long as the terrain is at all passable, the explorer
retains his normal movement speed while passing through
it.
Elusive (Ex): Catching an explorer who does not wish to
be caught is all but impossible. At 6 th level, the explorer
gains the elusive ability, granting him two major benefits.
The first is the ability to pass without trace while travelling
in the Underdeep. This extraordinary ability works in the
same manner as the spell and is always active, but only
works within the environment of the Underdeep. This
ability also allows the explorer to lose pursuers who are
hot on his heels through his superior knowledge of the
ways of the Underdeep. By taking a penalty of –5 on
his skill checks, the explorer may use both his Hide and
Move Silently skills while he is moving at a run through
Underdeep terrain.
Unerring Direction (Ex): The Underdeep is a maze of
shafts, tunnels and caverns, but it is the place the explorer
calls home. By the time the explorer reaches 7 th level,
he never becomes lost; he is always certain of
his location within the Underdeep and always
knows which paths to choose to find his way
back to where he started. This ability also
makes the explorer immune to the effects of
maze spells.
Improved Evasion (Ex): At 8 th level, an
explorer has become a master of avoiding even
magical and unusual attacks with his tremendous
agility. If he makes a successful Reflex saving
throw against an attack that normally deals halfdamage
on a successful save (such as a fireball
spell), he instead takes no damage from that attack,
and a failed save results in only half damage.
This ability can only be used when the explorer
is wearing light or no armour. Obviously, an
explorer who has somehow been rendered helpless
cannot use improved evasion. If the explorer already
has improved evasion as a class ability, he instead gains a
bonus feat.
Hide in Plain Sight (Ex): While in the Underdeep, an
Explorer of 10 th level may use his Hide skill even while he
is being observed.
Fist of Nazrakoth
The Fist of Nazrakoth is not devoted to justice, but to
punishment and vengeance.
This class is populated by drow who feel they have been
the victims of some terrible wrong. For some, this may
mean a lust for revenge against the Noble House that
destroyed everything they held dear. For others, it may
mean vengeance upon some past enemy for wounds and
humiliation inflicted. There are many
drow among the Fists of Nazrakoth
who have taken up this prestige
class out of
