Is there a shadow template?

[Guilberwood]

Hy guys,

Quick question....one of my players has a black panther, and I wanted to give it some sort of shadow powers. I know there must be some sort of template or something else, but I could not find it...

So, is there a shadow template or any other shadow stuff I can use to give this panther shadow powers?

Thanks in advance,

Guilberwood

Manual of the Planes has a shadow creature template, IIRC.

 

[Remathilis]

Manual of the Planes has a "shadow" template for creatures from the plane of shadow
Savage Species has an "umbral" template for making monstrous shadow monsters.
Forgotten Realms Campaign has a "shade" template, which are creatures infused with shadowstuff.

Hope that helps.

Hope that helps.

A lot, thank you

Lords of Madness repeats the Manual of the Planes template -- it's an LA +2 template which is, in my opinion, excellent. Either version. Most excellent.

And Libris Mortis reprints the umbral creature template.

Now you just saved me a lot of time and work, because I own both libris mortis and lords of madness.....

Thanks again

To make a creature like an undead shadow, you can use the dread shadow template from Advanced Bestiary

Just please don't tell us that this shadowy panther's name is Gwynhyvar, or anything like that.
