[QUOTE="Sanackranib, post: 959043, member: 8674"] [b]shadows[/b] does that mean that the monster shadows that your PC's encounter or have incountered will or have been saddled with these same restrictions? The shadow is a chorhort. just as anyother creature is and one of the better abilities of the shadowdancer. to place these limits uppon a PC who by your own admission has invested 3 levels in this PrC, to me seems really bad form. as a player this is the kind of thing that would really piss me off if that was my PC. when you consider the volnerabilities of the shadows created by this player in their weak attack bonus, HD etc. its not overwelmingly powerfull. also remember that while these special shadows cant be turned the same is not true of their spawn. a cleric of the same level as the shadow dancer would have no difficulty in distroying the spawn, ditto a paladin or mage - necromancer (who would control them) also since the shadowdancers special shadows are of the same alignment as the caster unless they are evil they wouldn't be raising an army of undead. because the shadows that they create would be evil per the normal shadow (and NOT under the shadowdancers control unless he were a necromancer or priest) Most compelling is they can't be brought back or replaced if slain so it behooves the dancer to use them carefully in the manner that they were intended - guards and spys.
