We already have Siberys Heirs who finish at level 15, though. I wanted to make a comparable master of the dragonmark who isn't a Siberys heir. There might only be a few dozen umbral masters, and maybe just one or two who have fully mastered the class. Plus, I love conspiracy theories. Sure, Eberron doesn't have a lot of high-power NPCs... that we know about. If all the epic or near-epic people worked from the shadows and manipulated things like the rakshasha rajahs, or like Vol, then we'd sure feel complacent with the level 12 Lord of Blades being the big threat to the world, wouldn't we?----------I see your concern with the name powers. I added in the "meditate for 10 minutes" part to ensure that you'd have to know who you're dealing with beforehand and not just figuring it out on the spot. So against the guy you bothered to learn about, you'll really clean house, but against his earlier minions or such, you just have your regular stuff. Also remember that you can't have the SR, DR, and AC until the second to last level, which is a level 17-18 character, where those advantages might just even the score. The goal was to make them seem invincible once they know everything about you. Finding out is supposed to be the hard part, once you have the information, it's just the "foregone conclusion" of the fight.The idea is to make a spy vs. spy fight a battle for information. Whoever leaves more clues loses. All of my justification might end up being hogwash if I playtest the class and it ends up being invincible, however. =D(The gargantuan shadow won't deal that much damage because incorporeal creatures don't get to add strength modifiers to damage, as they have strength of -. 2d8 is still a lot, though. I was considering halving the strength damage across the board to make it a little less disgusting.)</blockquote>
