Shadow Rebel

Shadow rebels are quick to appear agreeably subservient in order to conceal their noncompliance and avoid retribution.

Sophisticated Stealth (Ex)

At 3rd level, a shadow rebel gains a +1 bonus on Knowledge (nobility) checks. In addition, they gain a +1 bonus on Bluff checks to convey a secret message and on Sense Motive checks to discern secret messages. These bonuses increase by 1 every 3 rogue levels thereafter.

This ability replaces trap sense.

Misdirection (Sp)

At 4th level, a shadow rebel gains the ability to cast misdirection on themself once per day, though instead of choosing an Object for the second target, they must choose a creature in range. The caster level for this ability is equal to their class level, and the save DC for this spell is 12 + the shadow rebel’s Intelligence modifier. The save DC of this ability increases by 1 if the secondary target is lawful or evil.

This ability replaces uncanny dodge.
