Unlike most birds, however, they use stomach contractions and powerful digestive juices to gradually turn these stones into razor sharp missiles. Three times per day, a shadestalker can spit a cluster of these needlespikes as ranged attacks (range increment 20 feet). ### Sneak Attack (Ex) Whenever a shadestriker's opponent is denied his Dexterity bonus to AC, or if the shadestriker flanks its opponent, it deals an extra 1d6 points of damage. This ability is just like a rogue's sneak attack and subject to the same limitations.
