'''Prerequisite:''' {{I}}Ranger|Ranger]] class, {{I}}Weapon Proficiency|Proficiency]] with {{I}}Spiked Chain|Spiked Chain]] or [[Versatile Combatant (4e Feat)|Versatile Combatant]]

As a cavestalker, you nurture a close, almost mystical connection to the deadly terrain of the underdark. To you, the lightless tunnels are not friends, exactly, but perhaps well-respected adversaries. Danger is always present, yet you understand it and even find a certain succor in living alongside it.
