			==Strategy==
			This form is one of the few that doesn't meld gear, making it easily accessible to any character with enough training, and one of the few forms that works well for [[Ashenzari]] worshipers.

			On the surface, this form directly buffs stabber builds with bonuses to both stealth and stabbing. However, there's no reason a caster wouldn't also find the range of resistances and the Daze effect helpful if they have the training (looking at you [[Gnoll]]s). The lack of regeneration while enemies are present is only infrequently a problem, but you may find yourself reliant on more healing potions than usual in this form.
