And the pet has only 19 HPs...As for not risking being attacked:Although an incorporeal creature inside an object can sense the presence of creatures or objects in a square adjacent to its current location, such objects or creatures have total concealment against the incorporeal creature’s attacks while it remains inside the object. An incorporeal creature hiding inside a solid object receives a +2 circumstance bonus on Listen checks, because solid objects carry sound well. Pinpointing an opponent from inside a solid object uses the same rules as pinpointing invisible opponents. To sense farther from the object it is inside and attack normally, the incorporeal creature must emerge. An incorporeal creature inside an object has total cover, but when it attacks a creature outside the object, it has only cover, so a creature outside with a readied action could strike at it as it attacks.So the shadow is under the floor, emerges to hit (50% to hit, enemy has TC in respect to shadow), and goes back in before getting hit ("goes back in": it's hand and perhaps part of it's body, for it never left the floor, it just reached out). Of course, as mentioned, a readied action will hit it.But i think that a 50% miss chance to hit is far better than a 50% to take the hit <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Nahhh... I'm probably going to get my self shot if I invoke THAT rule for the shadow pet... and rightfully so I think! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Any ideas on how to boost its CHA to 15... without breaking the rules?Is the ghost touch ability reserved for weapons and armor only... or is there a way to put this on wondrous items as well.... ?How about those rules for creating magical items in the end of the magical items chapter?</blockquote>
