[QUOTE="Glamdring, post: 276068, member: 4835"] I actually played a shadow sorcerer who was made a Chosen of Shar before he became an NPC in the campaign my buddy took over. Now that I have control again, Guldraven (that sorcerer) is a major NPC antagonist (he's CN, so he's a threat, but not one who touches off evil detection magic). He's a sorcerer10/shadow sorcerer10/epic2, and a Chosen of Shar. His abilities are as follows: -Summon 2d6 shadows 1/day. -Unleash a shadow bolt 1/round for 10d6 points of shadow damage (no resist elements, etc.). -Assume "shadow form" at will. This is identical to incorporeality. -Cast 3 illusion spells as a readied quickened spell 3/day. -Immune to energy and ability draining. -Function normally in dead and wild magic zones (as those of the Shadow Weave can do already). Guldraven is also served by an old shadow dracolich which is not the typical "bone dragon." He is a shadowy dracolich who assumed such a state outside the influence of the Cult. The dracolich's phylactery is a shadowy onyx created by Guldraven which, when inhabited by the dracolich's essence, gives Guldraven the dragon's titanic statistics. Guldraven's personal bodyguard is Xiang Sol, a monk16/shadowdancer4 who is virtually unbeatable in combat (as he was when he was a PC long ago, before turing to the evil ways of Shar). I highly recommend playing around with the other FR dieties when considering other Chosen. I don't necessarily agree with allowing PC Chosen, BUT, with the cool new Epic Handbook, I can't help but say that it's a cool idea. [/QUOTE]
