[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5731925, member: 54846"] How exactly would it become Core feature of the Setting? I really think you're thinking about this way too hard. :) Look at the power sources and classes: [B]Arcane[/B] Swordmage Artificer Sorcerer Warlock Wizard Bard [B]Divine[/B] Runepriest Avenger Paladin Cleric Invoker [B]Primal[/B] Druid Barbarian Shaman Seeker Warden [B]Martial[/B] Fighter Rogue Ranger Warlord [B]Psionic[/B] Monk Psion Battlemind Ardent [B]Shadow[/B] Assassin Vampire [B]2 out of 26 classes[/B] run on shadow. One of which is a [B]vampire[/B], so it's basically "Undead powers". You may have a few Wizard or other class powers (the necromancer and fear based powers in HoS, a few powers in Dragon) but that's it. Going by the existing rules, Psionics has more of a presence than the Shadow power source. The only actual Setting component is the Shadowfell. So it's really, [I]really[/I] unlikely to come up at all unless you have players who demand to play a lot of Assassins. But there's a real easy solution for an FR guy like yourself: [URL="http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Weave"]The Shadow Weave[/URL]. Just say the Shadow power source comes out of the Shadow Weave. [/QUOTE]
