[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 6066050, member: 6674868"] The Forge of War, an Eberron book, p.155 has an incorporeal construct called an Umbral Spy. The Umbral Spy has a supernatural ability called Shadow Bond, which requires a successful touch attack, will DC 13 to resist. If the touch succeeds, the Umbral Spy disappears into the subjects shadow, only visible to [I]True Seeing[/I]. -Craft an Umbral Spy and order it to do this to your target. If you want a PC or NPC to accomplish this: -Use the [URL="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Shapechange"]Shapechange[/URL] spell to assume the form of and gain the abilities of an Umbral Spy. -Use the [URL="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Polymorph_Any_Object"][I]Polymorph Any Object[/I][/URL] spell in conjunction with the [URL="http://dndtools.eu/feats/savage-species--47/assume-supernatural-ability--133/"]Assume Supernatural Ability[/URL] feat. to assume the form of an Umbral Spy and then use this ability. -Play a character that is already a Construct, such as a Warforged or 10 levels of Green Star Adept PrC, and use [URL="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Polymorph_%28Spell%29"][I]Polymorph [/I][/URL]spell in conjunction with the [URL="http://dndtools.eu/feats/savage-species--47/assume-supernatural-ability--133/"]Assume Supernatural Ability[/URL] feat to assume the form of an Umbral Spy and then use this ability. (Warforged assumes a Living Construct can polymorph into a Construct, not certain if that's true.) -Cast the [URL="http://therafimrpg.wikidot.com/body-of-war"][I]Body of War[/I][/URL] spell, than [I]Polymorph.[/I] I have no idea if the second spell cancels the first, but if you can get this by the DM, more power to ya. ...I'd like to add that the more information about what you are trying to specifically accomplish and if you're asking as a DM, for a specific PC, as part of a story plot, etc, etc, will make it easier for us to help you. Also, being more patient with other people's responses will also make it easier for us to help you. People here tend to give the best answer they can come up with, even if it does not fall within the specific parameters of what you are asking, in the hopes that they can accomplish what they think your intention is, even if they don't use the method you requested. Feel free to make liberal use of the phrase, "Thanks, but that's not exactly what I had in mind, let me clarify more specifically with what I'm trying to do...." Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
