Just wanting to get some opinions on my conversion of Shadow Dancer class for a game we are playing with no magic before I hand it over to DM for approval. Looking for any improvements, suggestions, ideas or game balance problems that a second pair of eyes always seems to be able to pick out. Trying to fill a slot on the team that is missing... flavored toward scouting. Thanks in advance.
