It also goes against the principle that 4E was founded on, where every type of character should be able to contribute and be effective in combat. It doesn't change that as written, the Shade is probably going to end up the bottom of the pile for racial choices for nearly every class. An in built penalty (regardless of how significant someone thinks a -1 surge penalty is or isn't) and arguably one of the worst racial powers in the game is not going to help it. Unless the feats are genuinely insane I don't see anyone ever playing a shade in my games.</p></blockquote><p></p>
