[QUOTE="Ryfte, post: 3229565, member: 24385"] [b]Feedback for all and Tiluvias99 responses too...[/b] [sblock=Replay and Notes] Nope, that was Cogs' original request but it quickly degenerated into additional stuff. As long as Cog okayed it it wasn't a problem, and we PMed it to him, that's why I need him to take a look at this and tell me how he wants it changed to accept it.

(wash) Think we should set it at a +2 LA template then? Uhhh... this is not the Shadow Creature template Tiluvias99, this is the Dark Creature template from Tome of Magic on page 161... ;) If you look at it you'll see that it's quite different in what it grants you.
