Message: <blockquote data-quote="genshou" data-source="post: 2863667" data-attributes="member: 13164">I bought Tome of Magic specifically because of the chapter on Shadow magic, and in particular the Shadowcaster.  Right now I am playing in The World's Largest Dungeon as a gestalt Shadowcaster/Rogue (coincidence, chaotix42?).  She's a grey elf with the dark template from later in the chapter, so I gestalted a class with the Level Adjustment and chose to give her full levels in Shadowcaster, even though Rogue would have given me more starting skill points.  She has 4 Shadowcaster levels and only 3 Rogue levels.She has a Strength score of 4 (yes, four), so mysteries are almost the only way she can be effective in combat if she can't sneak attack.  So far, she's been able to get good use out of the Dark Terrain path (for which she has Path Focus).Ari, I'll definitely let you know how things develop as she starts to gain levels.  I know she's not a swiss army knife like a Wizard, but so far she's very useful in the role I've built her for (especially with the benefits of the dark template).Oh, and Evendur in my Story Hour?  He's multiclassing into Shadowcaster next character level. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
