18.7. SHADOW HOUND CHAPTER 18. S
• Special Abilities:
– Blend With Shadow: A shadow can alter its shape and blend in
with someone’s real shadow. In normal, dim, and dark lighting,
treat this as a +2 to their Stealth rolls, and the targets are always
treated as inactive, unless they’re using torches, flashlights, etc.,
to examine their shadows.
– Drain Life: With a successful touch attack, a shadow drains vitality
from the victim. Make a Vigor roll at -2; failure means you lose
a die type of Strength and take a Fatigue level. Victims reduced to
Incapacitated can be killed with a normal Finishing Move by the
shadow. Lost Strength and Fatigue levels return at 1 per hour;
a Greater Healing spell will return them immediately, though it
will not simultaneously heal any injuries.
– Fleet Footed: Shadows move at Pace 8 and roll d10 for running.
– Incorporeal: Shadows can pass through walls and barriers with
ease, and can’t be harmed by normal attacks. Arcane powers
(magic, psionics, weird science, etc.) can injure them normally,
as can magical weapons.
18.7. Shadow Hound
Shadow hounds look something like a cross between a hyena and a bull
mastiff as painted by Picasso. They exist in a bizarre interstitial dimension
which crosses over into ours at strange angles, allowing the Hounds to
disappear and reappear in our world seemingly at random.
