Well, if you compare how the Shadow-dancer summon reacts to stuff, it's more like a 'shadow elemental' rather than a baleful spirit. And besides, the Plane of Shadow is neutrally aligned. it's not it's fault if undead like to hang out there instead of the ethereal plane

The average guard has about the same amount of knowledge:arcana as most of the folks online who profess to know obscure arcane secrets: Zero."Use the Force, Harry" -Gandalf

Then he should be killed for lacking knowledge on necromancy when he claims to know the law. Not fit to do his job? INSTANT DEATH!Originally posted by [DM] Grinning Death View PostOriginally posted by roguethreeComment

Agreed. How can a guard enforce the law when he has no idea what it is he is guarding against? Its like saying a security officer has no ranks in Knowledge(bomb-making) when he's supposed to be looking for terrorists blowing shit up. If he has no idea how a bomb looks different from a laptop on an x-ray, he's useless at his job.Originally posted by Thief Of Navarre View Post

Well, the average street cop does have zero knowledge of bomb-making. They bring in specialists for that sort of thing. And that's in our modern society, where the average person is far more educated than in Faerun.Originally posted by Kitsunestume View Post
Your typical guard is probably just a guy that can maybe read and write a little bit, show up for his duty shift, and is level-headed enough not to hurt the commoners he's supposed to protect. That's about the minimal level of qualification to be a guard in a medival society.Player of:

Be sure to tell your local Legionnaires they're useless while Sundren is under martial law!
What you nitpickers are forgetting is that a shadowdancer summons looks enough like an undead that the average NPC commoners will wet themselves if a shadow is running amok. Keeping the peace is priority number one in such a situation, so if it looks like an undead, it'll be destroyed. End of discussion.
If a particular character wants to start a massive 'educate the populace on good shadows' campaign, then by all means go for it! But even Emiliana, who has high skill amounts in all the knowledges and lore, will dispatch shadows first and ask questions later if it means the denizens of the Valley are kept safe.

Perhaps the church of shar is shar-fting the shadowdancers
There's a lot of hurt there i am sure between the general populace and the Shar dogma given its about loss and grief and gnashing of teeth.
There can be no reconcilliation with the shadow. Sorry.

Im really not sure how subtle the shadowdancers summon is supposed to be (since no-one uses it anyway). I always imagined it as like a trick of the mind; like your own shadow moving indepedantly. Sure to freak people out if they notice it!Originally posted by roguethreeComment

The PnP description is simply that of a normal shadow, but with a different alignment.
Visually and practically it is an undead shade that looks like a bog-standard shadow, but with an RP depth on par with a Spirit Shamans guide, a Druids animal companion or a wizards familiar.It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do a little - Do what you can.

Coolio. thanks for clarifying.Originally posted by Doubtful View PostOriginally posted by roguethreeComment

just had a thought when I saw this thread... for RP sake... would it be possible to treat the shadow like a wizards familure? much like being about to take control of it? it might be fun use of it.Comment

Haven't you people watched Once Upon a Time for crying out loud! Peter Pan/Kit's shadows are supposed to be B.A.D.A.S.S.
In light of this *cough* evidence, I would therefore like to vote for death attack on hit (Fort DC = 15+SD level+master's Int modifier)

Yes, I realise my RP writing sucks. Just be thankful I keep it short
