Nightblade
Nightblades are thieves, who follow the way of magic. Their magic is dark.
They use they magic to make you more sick, than you even think you will be.
You even don't imagine what evil they can do to you. Their usual tactics is
cast some spells and than (if you don't die during spelling) touch you and
then you will be dead ... such simple. They have some basic fighting
ability, because they have origin in thieves, but they don't need use such
crap skills. They fight a bit same way as assassins ... well but there
is something different ... assassins will kill you fast and usually without
pain, when nightblade kill you, you die slow and very painful. In fact
nightblades are not interested in winning the fight. Their greatest pleasure
is to see enemy lose. It does mean that nightblade wins, but that's just
an uninteresting side effect.
Nightblades are naturally resistant to curses, hexes and any other forms of
negative enchantments. They had an extra -5 bonus to saving enchant.
This bonus is applied after all other effects, going potentially beyond
normal savings cap.

Legendary Skills
Nightblades are most powerful during the night. But any shadow will do, really.
True, night is still the best but she can wrap herself in shadows so when her
spells attract unwanted attention the enemy is hard-pressed to recognize her among
all the shadows. She can create multiple shadows of herself with various abilities
that assist her in combat. And then the enemy tries to strike her and hits one of her
shadows instead, the shadow retaliates back. She can even manipulate the
shadows in a way that emulate casting a spell, even places where magic is normally
impossible. The most powerful nightblades even shed the limit of the natural night
and can create night when needed or simply carry it with them in the form of
a permanent shadow.
Nightblade is not about winning. Nightblade only cares that the opponent loses.
And while no one likes losing, nightblade makes every effort to make this option
attractive to the enemy. After all, isn\'t afterlife sweet? Paradise calls. All
that is needed is to give up, ascend the stairway to heaven and escape from this
mortal coil. Nightblade can imbue her spells with powerful suggestions in this
sense, lowering enemy\'s guard and making them more suspeptible to finishing
effects of the new spells.
