[QUOTE="genshou, post: 2935331, member: 13164"] Experiences from play: I played a grey elf shadowcaster with the dark template in a World's Largest Dungeon game. Coriantos was frighteningly good at vanishing into the shadows at will, but her ability to do much of anything else was effectively nil. She got a few uses out of Black Fire, but even cold resistance 5 makes that spell pretty ineffective. Her Arrow of Dusk was about the only way she could deal any damage, and after three of them she was done for the day. She got some use out of some of the other mysteries, but since I had her wearing shadow silk hide, she didn't need an armour bonus (otherwise Steel Shadows would have been a lot more useful for her to cast on herself rather than the thri-kreen), and she already had Hide in Plain Sight as a racial ability, so she didn't need the mystery that granted that. I think the mysteries are powerful enough to match up with core spells, but the shadowcaster just doesn't get enough uses of them per day. Ari, in the last thread about shadowcasters, didn't you say that the editors altered the class quite a bit from your original version? [/QUOTE]
