I did not lose the hide in shadows skill in the middle of "burning my fingers" as you seem to assume. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You did. If you hadn't shadowkept him to another alignment you would have role-played differently and not lost reputation ;)

I would like to say that the main reason for my reputation loss was VALEN, and her thirst for blood.
But of course accepting her into my party was a roleplaying thingy but, ah well...

And i never said i changed the alignment, i changed the charcter class. [img]smile.gif[/img]

So did you change thaco's, hit points, stats, manually? Or does SK do this for you? I know you can change the kit abilities and bonuses quite easily with it. I always found it a bit of a pain trying to change characters in a saved game and get it spot on right. Especially if thieving skills were involved.

The Hide in Shadows ability is a class feature. When a character becomes a Fallen Paladin or a Fallen Ranger they are no longer considered to be of their former class, thus they will lose all the special abilities granted by that class, eg Hide in Shadows.

Hope that helps...
