Innate Nondetection (Su): Skulks are difficult to detect by divination spells such as clairaudience/clairvoyance, locate creature, detection spells, and items such as a crystal ball. If a divination is attempted upon a skulk, the caster of the divination must succeed on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against DC 20.

Peerless Camouflage (Ex): Skulks can move at full speed (and can even run) while hiding, taking no penalties on Hide checks due to movement.

Trackless Path (Ex): The DC of any Survival check to follow the trail of a skulk is increased by 10.

Skills: Skulks have a +8 racial bonus on Move Silently checks and a +15 racial bonus on Hide checks. These bonuses apply only to skulks in light or no armor.

Skulks prefer to hide from opponents, waiting for a group of enemies to split up before picking off the weakest of the bunch. They don't hesitate to use a coup de grace on fallen or helpless victims. Skulks never attack when outnumbered.
