Divine sneak attacker
« on: March 27, 2013, 02:45:38 PM »
Is there any way to get a full divine caster into shadowbane stalker? I can't think of any prestige class that will grant sneak attack to a character that doesn't already have some.

You can spend a pair of feats on Martial Study and Martial Stance to get +2d6 Sneak Attack via Assassin's Stance.

Are either of those valid for prerequisites?

Both of them, though it's much harder to shut down someone's stance than it is a persistent spell.

That Darkmask class (and the Vhaeraun followers in general) are very interesting and make for an interesting character idea for me, but I'm assuming that Vhaeraun is NE (based on the NPC clerics in the book), so it's not going to work as an entry into Shadowbane Stalker.

Generic Divine Caster from UA would give you full divine casting and allow you to pick up sneak attack (and turn undead, if it's a pre-req for anything).

Feats can get you Assassin's Stance, but it requires IL 5 (non-Martial Adept level 10). If you can speed up your IL somehow (UA Bloodlines, for one) you can get it earlier.

Look here: http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19871954/Lists_of_Stuff

I'm almost certain there are PrCs that grant sneak attack and that do not required it. I'm not so sure about them advancing caster levels, tough.
