Watchtower Shadow
CREATURE 15Variant shadow
The mysterious undead known as shadows lurk in dark places and feed on those who stray too far from the light. Those who parley with shadows, typically by keeping them at bay with a glowing weapon, may learn great secrets, for they are ideal spies.
The shadow is tied to its watchtower.
A typical ghost can stray only a short distance from where it was killed or the place it haunts. A typical limit is 120 feet. Some ghosts are instead bound to a room, building, item, or creature that was special to it rather than a location.
An object shedding magical light (such as from the Light spell) is treated as magical when used to attack the shadow.
When the watchtower shadow is destroyed, it re-forms, fully healed, at the watchtower after 12 hours. Destroying the shadow and lighting its watchtower's brazier permanently destroys it.
When a creature's shadow is pulled free by Steal Shadow, it becomes a Shadow Spawn under the command of the shadow that created it. This shadow spawn doesn't have Steal Shadow and is perpetually and incurably Clumsy 2. If the creature the shadow spawn was pulled from dies, the shadow spawn becomes a full-fledged, autonomous shadow. If the creature recovers from its Enfeeblement, its shadow returns to it and the shadow spawn is extinguished.
