RACIAL ARCHETYPES
As described in the Pathfinder® Roleplaying Game: Advanced Player’s Guide ™, archetypes are variant
sets of class abilities which modify their corresponding base classes via the use of alternate class
features. When a character selects a class, he must normally choose to use the standard class features
found in the class's original source – the exception is if he chooses to adopt an archetype. Each alternate
class feature presented in an archetype replaces a specific class feature from its parent class.
When an archetype includes multiple alternate class features, a character must take them all – often
blocking the character from ever gaining certain standard class features, but replacing them with other
options. All other class features of the base class that aren't mentioned among the alternate class
features remain unchanged and are acquired normally when the character reaches the appropriate
level, unless noted otherwise. A character who takes an alternate class feature does not count as having
the class feature that was replaced for the purposes of meeting any requirements or prerequisites.
A character can take more than one archetype and garner additional alternate class features, but none
of the alternate class features can replace or alter the same class feature from the base class as another
alternate class feature. Racial archetypes are typically available only to members of the indicated race,
though such options rarely interact with the racial traits of that race.

THE SHADOWMANCER (FETCHLING ARCHETYPE)

The arcane science of shadow magic comes naturally to the higher-minded denizens of the Plane of Shadow. Fetchlings are no
exception, and tend to pursue illusions and shadow magic over other schools and traditions.
A shadowmancer has the following class features.

Class Skills: Shadowmancers add Stealth to their list of class skills.

Arcane School: A shadowmancer must choose the illusion arcane school.
Shadow Bond (Su): A shadowmancer forges a special, arcane bond with his shadow. The shadowmancer’s shadow shares a few
qualities in common with a more traditional wizard’s arcane-bonded object, and thus a shadowmancer without a shadow (such
as a shadowmancer who has become a vampire) or a shadowmancer whose shadow has been stolen or copied (such as by a
peryton’s shadow mark ability) must make a concentration check or lose any spell they attempt to cast. The DC for this check is
equal to 20 + the spell’s level.
In addition, a shadowmancer’s shadow can be called upon to grant the shadowmancer a +2 armor bonus, shielding him like a
cloak of shadowstuff. Alternately, the shadow can be called upon to conceal or obfuscate the shadowmancer’s form, granting
the shadowmancer a +4 bonus on Stealth skill checks made in areas of dim light or darkness. Activating or switching bonuses
requires a move action. Otherwise, the shadow bond can be called upon to enable the shadowmancer to cast a spell that he
does not have prepared in the same way that an arcane bond does.
This ability replaces arcane bond.
Grasp at Shadows (Su): As a standard action, a shadowmancer can create a mundane object (such as a sword, shield, crowbar,
tool, ladder, or any other non-magical object) weighing no more than 2 lbs. per class level out of raw shadowstuff. The object
functions normally in dim light or darkness, and persists until it is brought into an area of brighter light. Items created in this
way are masterwork objects. At 8th level, a weapon or shield created in this way gains a +1 enhancement bonus. At 16th level,
this bonus increases to +2. A shadowmancer may only create one object at a time in this way; creating a new object causes the
previous one to vanish. The shadowmancer may use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Intelligence modifier.
This ability replaces the blinding ray arcane school ability.
Summon Shadow (Su): At 15th level, a shadowmancer can animate his shadow to serve as a companion of sorts. This ability
functions as the shadowdancer prestige class ability of the same name. If the shadowmancer’s shadow is destroyed, so is his
arcane bond. The shadowmancer can replace a destroyed shadow after 30 days, as usual.
This ability replaces the 15th level wizard bonus feat.
Dire Shadow (Su): At 20th level, a shadowmancer’s shadow companion gains a hit point total equal to the shadowmancer’s total.
This ability replaces the 20th level wizard bonus feat.
