Panther Discipline

Assassins, watchers, shadows, scouts: Adepts of the Panther become one with the shadows to gain valuable intel and deliver devastating strikes. The Discipline of the Panther offers lines in Stealth, Non-Detection, Environmental Specialization, and Assassination. Adepts of the Panther may choose prowess in Agility, Haste, and Evasion.

Conceal Weapons	Gain a +2 to a Stealth or Sleight of Hand check to conceal small/light weapons.

Rank 2
