[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8165615, member: 7023887"] [SPOILER="Tangent"] This is off topic, but I felt that it pertained to your setting suggestion. It's always bothered me that there's a whole creature type for beings that come from the Feywild (Fey), beings that come from the Elemental Planes (Elementals), beings that come from the Upper Planes (Celestials), beings that come from the Lower Planes (Fiends), and beings that come from the Far Realm (Aberrations), but no creature type for beings that come from the Shadowfell. They're all just either Monstrosity (Like Sorrowsworn and Shadow Mastiffs) or Undead (like Shadows and Shadow Assassins). The same can also be applied to creatures from Limbo (Slaad), who are currently Aberrations in 5e, and applies to a certain extent for Modrons, as they're not really "typical" constructs. If I were in charge of this aspect, I would probably have the creature type be "shade/shadow" or "figment", as something formed out of the shadow-stuff of the Shadowfell. (As the "[I]Fey[/I]wild" is the home of the "[I]Fey[/I]" creature type, the "[I]Shadow[/I]fell" could be home to the "[I]Shadow[/I]" creature type.) [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
