Dusk Strike (Su)

Prerequisite: Nightblade 9

Benefit: The nightblade gains the ability to slip her weapon between dimensions, if only for a moment. By expending a shadow surge as a swift action, the nightblade’s melee, ranged, or natural weapon shifts partially into the Plane of Shadow, bypassing a target’s defenses. The next weapon or natural attack the nightblade makes resolves against touch AC, rather than the target’s normal AC. If the nightblade doesn’t make the attack before the start of her next turn, the effect is wasted.
