Fallible Invisibility. The skulk is invisible. This invisibility can be circumvented by three things:
- The skulk appears as a drab, smooth-skinned humanoid if its reflection can be seen in a mirror or on another surface.
- The skulk appears as a dim, translucent form in the light of a candle made of fat rendered from a corpse whose identity is unknown.
- Humanoid children, aged 10 and under, can see through this invisibility.
Maneuvers. The skulk uses maneuvers (maneuver save Difficulty 14). It has 2 stamina dice which are d8s, a dice limit of 1, regains all expended stamina dice when it finishes a long rest, and regains half its total stamina dice when it finishes a short rest. It knows the following maneuvers:
1 stamina die: ambush, blind, spring attack, stalking shadow, swipe, tear flesh
Trackless. The skulk leaves no tracks to indicate where it has been or where it’s headed.

Maneuvers
As an action, you can use Stealth without using an action. Additionally, before the end of your next turn, you can add the stamina die to an attack’s damage (add half on a miss by 4 or less) if you have advantage on the attack, or if the creature is within 1 meter of an enemy of the creature that isn’t incapacitated and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack.
Enhance
You can increase the damage for each additional stamina die expended.
As an action, make a weapon attack as you strike a sensitive area.
On a hit, add the stamina die to the attack’s damage and the creature must succeed on a Fortitude saving throw or it is blinded until the end of its next turn.
On a critical hit, add twice as much damage.
On a miss by 4 or less, add half as much damage.
Enhance
You can increase the damage for each additional stamina die expended.
You can expend 2 additional stamina die so the creature is blinded for 1 minute/stamina die. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
