A silent dagger in the night is always something to fear, but there is a special sort of terror reserved for the sight of a Bone Stalker flanked by the risen corpses of the night watch...
Bone Rattling (Sp)
At 4th level, the bone stalker learns to infuse her ki into the deceased, raising her victims to fight for her. The bone stalker may cast lesser animate dead as a spell-like ability, using her ninja level in place of her caster level. This requires no expensive material component, but requires that the bone stalker spend a number of points of ki equal to the creature’s HD. At 8th level, this ability functions as animate dead instead. The ki used to fuel these abilities is not regained until the raised creature is destroyed.
This replaces the ninja tricks gained at 4th and 8th level
Desecrating Strike (Sp)
At 12th level, the bone stalker can spend a point of ki as a standard action to cast desecrate as a spell-like ability, using her ninja level in place of her caster level. The bone stalker treats the body of a creature slain by a sneak attack she made within the last minute as an altar of her deity for the purposes of this ability.
This replaces the ninja trick gained at 12th level
Ki Architect
At 10th level, when the bone stalker uses her bone rattling ability to animate a creature, she can reduce the amount of ki required by 1 (minimum 1). She can reduce the amount by an additional 1 at 12th level and every 2 levels thereafter (maximum -6 at 20th level).
This replaces master tricks
No Rest (Su)
At 20th level, when the bone stalker kills a creature with a sneak attack, she spend a swift action to raise that creature with her bone rattling class feature.
This replaces hidden master
