'''Shadow Mastery''' is a [[Combat Maneuver]] that provides bonuses to hiding and sneaking for 3 minutes. At later ranks, it provides cumulative [[roundtime]] bonuses to [[HIDE (verb)|HIDE]] and [[SNEAK (verb)|SNEAK]] when active, as shown below:
|sq1 = 2|se1 = 3|pu1 = -
*Rank 3: -1 Roundtime to Sneak
|sq2 = 4|se2 = 6
*Rank 4: -1 Roundtime to Hide
|sq3 = 6|se3 = 9
*Rank 5: -1 Roundtime to Hide and Sneak (Unlike the other bonuses, this benefit is always present, regardless of whether Shadow Mastery is activated or not)
|sq4 = 8|se4 = 12

|sq5 = 10|se5 = 15
Shadow mastery has a fixed [[stamina]] cost of 20 and lasts for 3 minutes, but this cost triples to 60 if it is used during the effect's "cooldown" period, which lasts for 5 minutes after activation. Note that if the maneuver is active on a character with 5 ranks, the effects of the third, fourth, and fifth ranks are cumulative, nominally reducing hiding and sneaking from the standard 3 seconds down to 1 second while activated. With Rank 1 of [[Shadow Dance]], a rogue will have Shadow Mastery permanently active with no stamina cost.

Additional Information

Shadow mastery has a fixed stamina cost of 20 and lasts for 3 minutes, but this cost triples to 60 if it is used during the effect's "cooldown" period, which lasts for 5 minutes after activation.
