[QUOTE="RObiN-HoOD, post: 103935, member: 2429"] So you want to play with Shadow Weave? Good! It's very interesting and funny in the same time. My previous PC was a Wiz5/Sha10/Acm1 (Wizard/ShadowAdept/ArchMage). My personal experience is so and so. Now what does this mean? Well, although its neat to be able to do magic in places other cannot, you attract too much attention by followers of the Weave (Mystrans, etc...). Shadow Weave is considered an evil thing, for bad guys etc. What's how I have it in my mind. Also, if you are a Shadow Weave user you cannot cast spells using the Weave in any way. So it's a one-way path. You have to choose wise. Now regarding ROLLplaying ... well if you read the feats in the FRCS ... you go a bit crazy with the +1 caster level, -1 caster level, add +x to DC etc ... I had to make an Excell spreadsheet to keep up. It surely is a hell but when you are able to understand what's going on, you'll like it. With some fine tuning I had a level 8 spell base DC=23. Then add the spell focus, spell power, shadow weave magic feat etc... DC=29. Now that's a VERY good DC ... anyway .... Hope I helped, [/QUOTE]
