Shadow Thief of Amn is a prestige class in NWN2.
Shadow Thief of Amn
Description: The organization known as the Shadow Thieves is the largest and most prosperous thieves' guild in all of the region. Its success is derived from its system of interlocking guilds, each dedicated to the twin goals of profit and power.

As a member of a Shadow Thieves' guild, a shadow thief of Amn knows only their own minions, their coworkers, and their superior. This web of secrecy preserves the organization, because any members who are captured can sell out only a few others.

- As of patch v1.23, the Uncanny Dodge feat has no noticeable effect.
