Class Features:
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Simple and Martial weapons, Light Armor.

Poison Use: The Black Lotus is trained in the use of poison and never risks accidentally poisoning herself when applying poison to a blade.

Sneak Attack: The BLack Lotus's sneak attack is exactly the same as the rogue ability.

If Black Lotus gets a sneak attack bonus from another source (such as rogue levels), the bonuses to damage stack.

Pretender: At second level, the Black Lotus knows how to recognize and imitate all the subtleties that come with a certain personality. She becomes a lot more convincing in making other people believe that she's something she is not.

Hide Alignment: Knowing that some people have a supernatural awareness to detect evil intent, the Black Lotus learns mind tricks that conceal her true hostile intent. Whenever someone tries to detect her alignment, the Black Lotus may make a bluff check to make her alignment appear different. The DC for this check is either 10 + spell level + relevant ability modifier or 10 + 1/2 of HD + relevant ability modifier. This is not a saving throw! If a spell or effect allows a saving, that save is rolled separately. (Although they both have the same DC.)

Seductress: In order to use this ability, the Black Lotus must be able to study a target for three days. At the end of those three days she must make a wisdom check DC 15. If she succeeds at this, she has found a way to seduce her target. This target has to make a Will save DC 10 + Black Lotus level + Charisma modifier. If this save fails, the target acts as if under the effect of a charm person spell cast by the Black Lotus.

Steel Mind: The Black Lotus trains her mind to become focused, razor sharp and lightning fast. Whenever she is subject to a mind affecting attack, she gains a +4 bonus to her saving throws.

Charismatic Aura: Upon reaching level 6, the Black Lotus has become so sure of herself that she is convinced she can overcome any obstacle or survive any threat. She has conditioned herself to be at her best at all times. In addition to becoming a bit cocky, she may now add her charisma modifier to her saving throws.

Death Attack: If the Black Lotus studies her victim for 3 rounds and then makes a sneak attack with a melee weapon that successfully deals damage, the sneak attack has the additional effect of possibly either paralyzing or killing the target (Black Lotus's choice). While studying the victim, the Black Lotus can undertake other actions so long as her attention stays focused on the target and the target does not detect the Black Lotus or recognize her as an enemy. If the victim of such an attack fails her Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + Black Lotus Level + Cha modifier) against the kill effect, she dies. If the saving throw fails against the paralysis effect, the victim’s mind and body become enervated, rendering her completely helpless and unable to act for 1d6 rounds plus 1 round per level of the Black Lotus. If the victim’s saving throw succeeds, the attack is just a normal sneak attack. Once the Black Lotus has completed the 3 rounds of study, he must make the death attack within the next 3 rounds. If a death attack is attempted and fails (the victim makes her save) or if the Black Lotus does not launch the attack within 3 rounds of completing the study, 3 new rounds of study are required before she can attempt another death attack.
