[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 4724505, member: 17691"] Thanks for that. I've updated my character sheet in accordance with your changes. I'm wondering about the mention that Shadows cannot speak intelligibly though; I'd figured that that limitation was dropped from Savage Species for the sake of PC shadows with higher than average intelligence. I'm wondering what kind of communication you believe shadows are capable of. Am I going to be limited to shadow-puppet-charades or a one-moan-for-yes-two-moans-for-no arrangement? Would it help if I traded my high-intelligence bonus language to learn to speak intelligibly? Do you have any suggestions for my character's background?
