   The Underdark is a ruthlessly Darwinian enviornment where only the strong survive. Even among the drow, illithids and deep gnomes, there are few who venture outside their large cities in order to explore the tunnels -- magical, predatory beasts unheard of on the surface lurk in the twisting tunnels, and most intelligent humanoids travel outside their communities only in the company of large military units. Valued by their people as spies, scouts and escorts in matters of skullduggery where large military support is too conspicious, there is a unique prestige associated with those rugged men and women who are able to survive alone in the harshest enviornment on Theyra.
   Underdark warriors hone their instincts, learning to fight based upon lightning intuitive reaction rather than rational thought. They sharpen their senses beyond what other members of their races would believe possible without magic, learning to detect foes by the vibrations their movement produces in the stone in utter, lightness darkness.

CLASS REQUIREMENTS
   The Underdark Warrior is a prestige class. It counts as a favoured class for all characters. In order to become an underdark warrior, you must have:
   * Race -- You must be of a race native to the Underdark -- drow, deep gnomes, grey dwarves, orcs and kobolds all qualify among the player races, but goblins and illithids are known to become underdark warrior on occasion as well.
   * Skills Levels -- Move Silently +10, Hide in Shadows +10, Climb +10.
   * Feats -- Blind-Fighting, Toughness.
   * Attributes -- Good instincts are an absolute prerequisite of this class -- an underdark warrior must have a Wisdom score of 17 before external magical augmentations are taken into account.

CLASS SKILLS
   The class skills of the underdark warrior are Athletics, Balance, Bluff, Climb, Escape Artist, Find Weakness, Hide in Shadows, Jump, Listen, Move Silently, Spot, Swim, Tumble and Wilderness Lore.

CLASS FEATURES
   * Proficiencies -- Underdark warriors do not gain and additional weapon or armour proficiencies.
   * Tremorsense -- The underdark warrior learns to feel vibrations in stone in exactly the same manner that some monsters do, developing the Tremorsense ability with a range in squares equal to twice her class level.
   * Supremely Skilled -- The survivalist nature of the underdark trains certain physical skills as no less lethal enviornment possibly could. The underdark warrior adds her class level to her Climb, Hide and Move Silently skill ratings.
   * Fasting -- Like rangers, underdark warriors sometimes need to survive with very little food and thus condition their bodies to cope well with times of privation. Levels of this ability from ranger and underdark warrior stack.
   * Bonus Feats -- An underdark warrior gains Close Quarters Fighter as a bonus feat at level 1, Improved Initiative as a bonus feat at level 3 and Zen Defense as a bonus feat at level 5.
   * Uncanny Dodge -- The underdark warrior gains the Uncanny Dodge ability at 2nd level; levels of this ability gained from the barbarian or rogue classes stack with those gained from underdark warrior.
   * Stonework Sense -- Starting at 4th level, underdark warriors develop a sense for stonework identical to the ability possessed by dwarves and gnomes. If they already have this ability, its depth increases by one square.
   * Defensive Roll -- At 5th level, the underdark warrior receives the Defensive Roll ability, which functions identically to the rogue special ability of the same name.
