Shroudmaster
"Your fate is writ in darkness."

Prerequisite: Assassin

You have gained mastery of the shrouds, the fundamental tools of true assassins, allowing you to wield them with a proficiency and skill unmatched by lesser killers. Exploiting the baleful curses of the Shadowfell to maximum effect, you are able to inflict blows of staggering accuracy and power.


Shroud Mastery (11th level): When you invoke your shrouds with an attack, that attack benefits from the following cumulative effects against your assassin's shroud target:

If you have at least two shrouds on the target, that attack ignores the insubstantial quality, cover and concealment.
If you have at least three shrouds on the target, that attack has combat advantage, and ignores all cover and concealment.
If you have at least four shrouds on the target, that attack ignores immunity and resistance, and that attack's critical hit range against the target increases by +2.


Shrouded Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you can subject a creature to 3 shrouds.

Shroud in Death (16th level): Whenever you drop your non-minion Assassin's Shroud target to 0 hit points or fewer with an attack that invokes your shrouds, you can subject another creature you can sense within your Assassin's Shroud close burst range to half the shrouds you invoked with that attack (rounded down).

Shroudmaster Hexes:

Shadowhex - Shroudmaster Attack 11
The contempt of the Shadowfell descends upon your victim, its aura manifesting a ominous eldritch glow as your curse takes hold.
Encounter ♦ Implement, Shadow
Minor Action - Close burst 10
Target: Your assassin’s shroud target
Attack: Dexterity vs. Will. This attack gains a +1 bonus to its attack roll for each shroud you have on the target or that you invoke with this attack.
Hit: The target is subject to your Shadowhex (save ends). While subject to your Shadowhex, the following effects apply to the target:

The target emits dim light in a close burst 1 only you can see.
If you have at least two shrouds on the target, it grants combat advantage, and can't regain hit points or gain temporary hit points.
If you have at least three shrouds on the target you have truesight against it.
At the start of the target's turn, you subject it to a shroud.

Whenever another creature becomes your Assassin's Shroud target, this effect ends immediately.
Aftereffect: If the target saved against this effect, you may subject it to a shroud.
Special: The target takes a -2 penalty to saving throws against this power's effects for each shroud you have on it.


Stalking Reaper - Shroudmaster Utility 12
You become undetectable to your mark, shrouds warping the senses of your mark to fully conceal your presence.
Encounter ♦ Illusion, Shadow, Teleportation
Minor Action - Personal
Target: Your Assassin's Shroud target
Effect: You can hide and remain hidden from the target without cover or concealment, can't be detected by its special senses, and have a +5 power bonus to Stealth checks made to hide from it. You can sense what the target senses and are considered to have line of sight from its space. You can teleport to a space adjacent to the target you can occupy as a move action. These effects last until the end of your next turn, until another creature becomes your Assassin's Shroud target, or until you resolve an attack.
Sustain Minor: The effect persists as above.
Deathstroke 4: If this power is expended, you can regain a use of it.


Symphony of Slaughter - Shroudmaster Attack 20
A storm of phantom blades burst from the shroud-tainted aura of your foe, each following in the wake of your own as you strike.
Daily ♦ Force, Necrotic, Shadow, Teleportation, Weapon
Standard Action - Melee weapon
Effect: Before the attack, you teleport up to 5 squares for each shroud you have on your assassin’s shroud target to a square adjacent to it. You do not need line of sight or effect to teleport in this way.
Target: Your assassin’s shroud target
Attack: Dexterity vs. AC. This attack gains a +1 bonus to its attack roll for each shroud you have on the target or that you invoke with this attack.
Hit: 2[W] + Dexterity modifier damage. This power deals 1[W] extra force and necrotic damage for each shroud you have on the target or that you invoke with this attack.
Miss: Half damage.
Effect: If you invoked your shrouds on the target as part of this attack, your shrouds deal maximum damage to the target, or double damage on a critical hit.
