'''{{Anchor|Hide in Plain Sight}} (Ex):''' While in any sort of natural terrain, a dawnstalker of 8th level or higher can use the Hide skill even while being observed. A scout loses this benefit when wearing medium of heavy armor or when carrying a medium of heavy load.
'''{{Anchor|Specific Aim}} (Ex):''' The dawnstalker is not only limited to aiming for one precise shot, he can also aim his attacks to affect effect his enemies in different ways. A dawnstalker may sacrifice different amounts of his bonus to damage to allow one of his Precise Aim attacks have a special effect, only one attack may be made in the round a Specific Aim is used. The different options are as shown below:
*''Longshot'': A dawnstalker can sacrifice damage from his precise aim class feature to gain a bonus range for his attack, for every 1d6 points of damage sacrificed the dawnstalker gains 20ft onto the range of his attacks and suffers no penalties, this next attack applies any remaining Precise Aim damage no matter how far the range is. For example a 17th level dawnstalker could sacrifice up to 9d6 points of damage to be able to hit foes 280ft away with his longbow.
*''Leg Shot'' : The dawnstalker may sacrifice 2d6 points of damage in order to aim for the legs of one opponent, on a successful hit the opponent must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 Dawnstalker levels + Dex mod) or move at half their normal speed and the danwstalker may choose to either make the target take a -4 penalty on Jump checks or . In addition the target loses the ability to run being able to only move at 3 times his base speed.*''Hand Shot'': The dawnstalker may aim at an enemies hand, and cause the opponent to have a -1 penalty on attack or damage rolls for every 1d6 extra damage he sacrifices from his Precise Aim class feature. In addition unless the target succeeds on a reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 Dawnstalker levels + Dex mod) they drop whatever they are holding.*''Stomach Shot'': By aiming at the head of his opponent, the dawnstalker is able instantly kill his enemy, by sacrificing 5d6 points of extra Precise Aim damage, the dawnstalker can make*'''':
'''{{Anchor|Sentinel}} (Ex):''' A Dawnstalker gains a bonus equal to one-half their dawnstalker level on Listen, Spot, Search and Survival checks. A In addition, a dawnstalker who merely passes within 10 feet of a secret or concealed door is entitled to a Search check to notice it as if he were actively looking for it.
'''{{Anchor|Swift Tracker}} (Ex):''' Beginning at 9th level, a dawnstalker can move at his normal speed while following tracks without taking the normal –5 penalty. He takes only a –10 penalty (instead of the normal –20) when moving at up to twice normal speed while tracking. A dawnstalker loses this benefit when wearing medium of heavy armor or when carrying a medium of heavy load.
'''Other Classes:''' They get along quite well with the other classes, mostly rangers, scouts and rogues as they share similar combat approaches. Although they do not care for the loud noise that barbarians make they see them as powerful distractions that give them an opening. they respect the power of sorcerers, wizards and clerics, though of the three they like sorcerers the most, as they rely only on their own power rather than dusty old tomes and the power of gods. They have something reminiscent of rivalry with the duskblades, Paladins and knights have a similar feeling towards a dawnstalker as they do towards rogues.
'''Combat:''' In combat they work best at range and where hidden, they have some survivability if they are forced into melee because of their agility though it is best to not try and stay in melee for too long though. They work best at hitting almost every time they aim and dealing extra damage every time they hit, they also have some small options to weaken the enemy through other means than damage.
