Adversary Class Features

Apprenticeship

Adversaries gain their abilities by being trained by an individual master, and once they have finished their training they will eventually find and train an apprentice of their own. Each master follows a particular style they have honed over the years.

Choose one of the following options. The choice you make gives you the benefit below and also provides bonuses to certain adversary powers, as detailed in those powers.

Forgotten Student: When you hit an enemy with a shadow encounter or daily attack power, you gain total concealment from that target until you hit that target with another attack.

This training style is based around becoming so in tune with the shadows that you become as transient and as noticeable as they are, allowing you to strike and fade away.

Reflection Apprentice: When you use a shadow encounter or daily attack power on your turn, you gain a bonus to the damage roll equal to 1 for each enemy you attack with the power.

This particular training style requires the apprentice to stare deep into a mirror and understand the link between shadows and reflections, allowing them to better assert their influences over great numbers.

Shadow Cloak

You gain the shadow cloak power. When you gave part of your soul to the Shadowfell, the power of that dark realm fused with your material form. As a result, you can wrap your own shadow around you to protect yourself from harm.

Shadow Rend

You gain the shadow rend power. Using your scythe, you can tear a portal to the Shadowfell for your own personal use.

Implements

Adversaries use scythes to rip the fabric of the world and create portals to the Shadowfell, portals that are the origin of their powers. When you wield a magic scythe, you can add its enhancement bonus to the attack rolls and the damage rolls of adversary attack powers and adversary paragon path powers that have the implement keyword. Without an implement you can still use these powers.

Any scythe can function as an adversary implement. However, you don't gain a scythe's proficiency bonus when using the scythe as an implement.
