Shadow

A shadow.

Shadows are dark phantoms or skeletons, surprisingly easy to kill, which may give an echoing avian raptor-like screech on death. They are true neutral creatures. They leave behind a corpse like a shadow on the ground and no loot. Shadows are introduced early on in the story and persist until the end.

Shadow

Shadows are slumped potbellied female-looking, transluscent creatures with featureless faces, very long hair and dress, floating over the ground. They appear female, but are truly without gender. Shadows are seen for the first time in Pharod's Court. They spawn frequently and perhaps infinitely after Ravel dies.

Shadows have special abilities:

• Weapon: 2-8 Slashing
• 33% chance of -1 strength penalty to target
• Immune to Enchantment +1
• Regeneration: 1 HP per 15 secs

When killed, Shadows do not drop any loot.

Greater Shadow

Greater Shadows look very different than their regular counterparts: they are blackened skeletons with empty eye sockets and claws fifteen inches long. Greater Shadows are first encountered in Ravel's Maze, and spawn frequently and perhaps infinitely after Ravel dies.

Abilities:

• Weapon: 2-12 Slashing
• 33% chance of -1 strength penalty to target
• Immune to Enchantment +1
• Regeneration: 1 HP per 7 secs

Contrary to what guides may say, the Shadows in the Fortress of Regrets are not Greater Shadows but True Shadows.

True Shadow

True Shadows have glowing eyes staring out of a form that gives off no light, and their teeth similarly grin white in an empty face. They appear for the first time in the Fortress of Regrets.

Abilities:

• Proficiencies: Slashing 5, Crushing 5
• Weapon: 2-16 Slashing
• 33% chance of -1 strength penalty to target
• Immune to Enchantment +1
• Regeneration: 1 HP per 15 secs
