[I still allow Seraxes (greater shadow) to communicate intelligibly for dramatic effect.]Survival and track have been dropped because it doesn't gel with being a shadow.Jump isn't needed as it can now fly.Alignment now CESaving Throws are a compromise between barghest and shadow.AC as per shadow.Attack bonus (and full attack) a compromise as well, plus bite and x2 claw doing strength damage would be murderous so scaled back to just bite.*Flicker is the Barghest Blink effect but is on all the time rather than at will.bonuses and penalties on hide as per shadow (+4 in shadowy, -4 in bright lit)</blockquote>
