    The Shadowcaster -weak?

    Hm... Actually there are two aspects to take into account: 1st: Prison of Night / Tomb of Night affects one creature of up to Huge size. Does the spell still affect the target if it becomes bigger than Huge? I'd say, as the target was 'legal' (<= Huge) at the time the spell was cast, the spell...

    The Shadowcaster -weak?

    Well, let's see: 1. You cast Dusk and Dawn, creating an area (20 ft. radius) of shadowy illumination. 2. Shadowy illumination gives you concealment against all opponents who have no means (e.g. darkvision, an active true seeing spell etc.) to ignore the shadowy area. 3. Concealment is a...

    The Shadowcaster -weak?

    I'm not sure about that, either. As the feat only affects mysteries cast as spells, it is much weaker than other Metashadow feats. Therefore I've been following the same reasoning as you thus far. After all it will cost a shadowcaster at least two feats (Still Mystery AND Armor Proficiency...

    The Shadowcaster -weak?

    Quick answer :p : It depends on your / your DM's personal preferences. After all "shade" is nothing but a template, thus shades should interact with shadow magic like any other template - it depends on the character class of the base creature only. However here some spontanous thoughts of...

    The Shadowcaster -weak?

    Sorry for not posting 'till now... Because of a major hard drive crash I've been busy recovering data... ~.~ First of all thanks to you Ari! It's good to see a game designer really caring about his creation and taking account into the suggestion of gamers for the benefit of all :cool: Okay, I...

    The Shadowcaster -weak?

    Actually I have come to the same conclusion. The basic ideas behind shadow magic / the shadowcasters are great, however the conversion into game terms seems somewhat unfinished... Besides some minor flaws in the backround / flavor text, one of the main problems is the rules being too different...

    Shadowcaster, Favored Mystery & Shadow Evocation

    Well, a 13th-level Shadowcaster actually can have a Feat available to take the Favored Mystery feat by means of the Bonus Feats class feature ;O) However let's stick to the important facts: 1. Reaching 13th-level a Shadowcaster casts Initiate Mysteries (such as Greater Shadow Evocation) as...

    Shadowcaster, Favored Mystery & Shadow Evocation

    I have a quite tricky question about the Favored Mystery feat: If a 13th-level Shadowcaster (Tome of Magic p. 111 ff.) takes the Favored Mystery feat (Tome of Magic p. 136), choosing to use the Greater Shadow Evocation mystery as a supernatural ability, does a spell mimiced ignore...
