[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9124002, member: 57383"] [IMG]https://www.enworld.org/attachments/screenshot-2023-09-09-075608-jpg.294443/[/IMG] Let's see. To start with, if we're calling it a Shadowraith then all uses of cairn wraith should become cairn shadowraith. Contrariwise, if we're using Cairn Wraith then the title needs changing. Calling its defensive ability [I][B]Umbral Blessing[/B][/I] is rather vague. How about [I][B]Umbral Armor[/B][/I] or [I][B]Coat of Shadows[/B][/I] instead? I'm also thinking a +2 to its Armour Class is a bit weak sauce. How about aiming for Armor Class 17 normally, AC 12 in sunlight? Then it'll be as easy to harm as a Specter when in daylight but becomes as tough to hit as a cairn wight in darkness? That'd require lowering its Dexterity so it has a +2 DEX modifier. I'm tempted to give it a boost to Stealth in darkness like a [B][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/shadow']Shadow[/URL][/B]. Those have double proficiency on Stealth as well as the trait [I][B]Shadow Stealth[/B][/I] for even more sneakiness. Not sure about [I][B]Incorporeal Movement[/B][/I], maybe just give it [I][B]Unearthly Movement[/B][/I] so it's more like a Shadow? Better yet, how about dropping [I][B]Incorporeal Movement[/B][/I] and adding the "can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing" of the Amorphous trait to its [I][B]Unearthly Movement[/B][/I]? Like so: [INDENT][I][B]Unearthly Movement.[/B][/I] The cairn shadowraith ignores difficult terrain formed from nonmagical earth, sand or rock. It moves across mud or quicksand as if it were solid ground and can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.[/INDENT] Other ideas will need to wait. Got things to do. [/QUOTE]
