Shadow Adepts
-
Hi guys,
I'm new to the server, just created a character here yesterday and was wondering about Shadow Adepts. I've been looking all over the place but while I found overrides for the Lumomancer sorcerer theme, I haven't managed to find anything about shadow adepts. Are there any overrides for it?

Shadow Adept is not released yet, though I beleive it is very close. (A day or two away)
-
Ah that is good to hear! Thanks :). Incidentally, would it make sense to have a Shadow Adept be a devout of Mystra? I understand a Shadow Adept has an affinity for the plane of Shadow and many tend to follow Shar. I feel my character's still unpolished and would like to get some of the details in before I continue. Thanks again.

The wiki article suggests that any concept you can justify is viable and there are no restrictions on alignment or deity

There is no alignment or deity restrictions, since this theme is not the same as Shar's Shadow Adept (TM) canon prestige class. This is a sorcerer born with strong connections to the Plane of Shadow.
On CoA, many Shadow Adepts do worship Shar, a majority are neutral or evil (the powers gifted are all about stealth and illusions, which is very useful for spies and assassins, so naturally, those kind of people are quick to recruit sorcerers born with shadow magic) but shadow magic, just like negative energy, is not "evil" in itself. Spells which are "evil" (which means casting them is an evil action) have the "evil" descriptor. (Like Animate Undead)

Course people might assume your evil by defult if your using shadow magic :wink: .
-
Shadow conjuration, greater shadow conjuration and shades are also shadow magic, by the way, casting illusory variants of regular spells created from shadow-material woven from the Plane of Shadow.

Ah thanks a lot.. helps me to understand things better :)

@Alice:
Course people might assume your evil by default if your using shadow magic :wink: .
Or because that is standard cannon.

Is this live yet?
-
No, sorry.
-
How about now? If not is there anything I can do to help? I am capable of some coding, and operation of the module engine.
-
I'm pretty dang sure it would be announced if it was live. Polaris hasn't even been around for a month.
-
It will be announced when it is ready. We're busy folks. Quit hassling us!
