Dedication: This book is dedicated to two very special women in my life. The first is my wife Carol, the most amazing, supportive, gorgeous, and loving

partner who ever rolled a d20. Thanks for the extra ideas you gave me when I was stuck! The second is my daughter Adrienne, who I've been happily

dancing with at her dance school recital every year since 1994, and gaming with since 1996. It's only fitting that this book reminds me of her.

Introduction

INTRODUCTION

This is a book about motion and grace, and how it can be used

to make the adventuring life easier. Whether it's accompanied

by the captivating rhythms of wild dance music, or the sweet

sound of silence, motion and grace can take someone far in a

world loaded with danger. And that's what it all boils down to;

does one prefer splash or subtlety? Flash or finesse? Stealth or

style?

This book deals with the Basiran dancers and infiltrators, two

of the classes unique to the Kingdoms of Kalamar™ Dungeons &

Dragons® setting. At first glance, both classes seem a bit ill-

suited for mucking around in old tombs, exploring ancient

forests loaded with wild things, or hacking and slashing

through an old fort packed with orcs and goblins.

But is that really the case?

The Basiran dancer moves with a grace rivaled only by monks

or supernatural creatures. Their movements captivate, distract,

and entrance. Like sorcerers, they cast spells off the cuff, using

special dance moves for their somatic component. Surely these

features can find use anywhere, even in the dankest dungeons?

Anyone who underestimates a Basiran dancer gets what he or

she deserves. Swirling robes can hide a dagger or even a sword.

Putting an opponent off-guard can give the dancer's friends the

opportunity need to conduct a sneak attack. Don't let anyone be

fooled by the word "dancer"; when a Basiran dancer dances,

other people pay the piper.

Infiltrators are roguish spies with a touch of woodcraft. Isn't

it useful to have someone who can sneak into a lair and get

information? After all, some monsters have fully functioning

colonies and societies even in a dungeon setting, and who better

to infiltrate and find out their strengths and weaknesses?

Although infiltrators aren't as heavily armed or armored as,

say, a knight or a battle cleric, their brand of combat is subtle and

deadly. After all, a spy can't leave witnesses behind if he is

discovered, can he? Many is the time that a warrior, feeling safe

and bored because he is on routine guard duty in a massive

stone fort, has been surprised by an incursion into his "impene-

trable" fortress, and the infiltrator's face becomes the last thing

he sees.

The world of Tellene is a big place with a multitude of

challenges. While sword and spell are certainly well known

ways of dealing with problems, there is room for stealth and

style. Read on, and see for yourself.

Kingdoms of Kalamar Campaign Setting Sourcebook . There are also

passing references to several existing class guidebooks, such as

Song & Silence and Sword & Fist .

Nothing in this book overrides the core rules. This book gives

options, not limitations, and is here to help flesh out two unique

Kingdoms of Kalamar compatible lasses. Players should check

with their Dungeon Master (DM) first before using the material

in this book, as some Dungeon Masters may have certain limita-

tions. Dungeon Masters can use this book to craft some truly

unexpected NPCs with which their players can interact.

For those who don't play in the Kingdoms of Kalamar setting,

changing a few names and making a few modifications gives the

Dungeon Master two more interesting classes available in his or

her world.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

Stealth & Style' s purpose is to increase the understanding and

versatility of the infiltrator and the Basiran dancer, to show that

these classes are useful and indeed valuable to the success of an

adventure. This book offers resources to make those two classes

stand out more and make them less predictable. Players can

refine their Basiran dancer or infiltrator to a better degree,

tailoring their character to suit their individual taste and playing

style.

Chapter I discusses the Basiran dancer and the infiltrator,

and how they fit into the tapestry of adventuring on Tellene.

This chapter is best described as "Why play a Basiran dancer or

an infiltrator?" Here you'll find advice, observations, role-

playing hints, and general notes on these two unique specialty

classes.

Chapter 2 gives the basic Information on the Basiran dancer

and infiltrator, as also found in the Kingdoms of Kalamar Player's

Guide.

Chapter 3 covers the new prestige classes that are particularly

suited for Basiran dancers and infiltrators, such as elemental

dancers, dervishes, death dancers, and urban trackers.

Chapter 4 deals with new feats and new ways of using

existing skills. Although the feats are presented to flesh out the

Basiran dancer and the infiltrator, they are available to any

character that meets the prerequisites, if any.

Chapter 5 covers specialized and new equipment for the infil-

trator and Basiran dancer. This also includes magic items. Again,

some are tailor-made for Basiran dancers and infiltrators, but

other items are for general use as well.

Chapter 6 describes the various organizations that exist for

infiltrators and Basiran dancers to join (or oppose, if desired).

These can be used as organizations for player characters to

become members of, as well as groups that help or hinder them.

Chapter 7 covers new spells unique to Basiran dancers.

Chapter 8 reveals a rogues gallery of NPCs, noted infiltrators

and Basiran dancers. Like the organizations of the previous

chapter, these folk could be a boon or bane to the player charac-

ters. And sometimes an old enemy can become a new friend, or

vice versa.

WHAT THIS BOOK IS AND IS NOT

Stealth & Style takes a detailed look at infiltrators and Basiran

dancers, and gives the D&D® player new ways to play them.

There is new information on the two classes, as well as new

prestige classes, skills and feats, spells, equipment, organiza-

tions, and even some sample non-player characters (NPCs),

many of which can be dropped into a campaign as friends or

foes.

This supplement is meant to be used with the v.3.5 Edition

Dungeons & Dragons rules system, especially the Player's

Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, Monster Manual, Monster

Manual II, Kingdoms of Kalamar flayer's Guide (KPG), and the
