SPECIAL ABILITIES

Distorted Shadow

Once per encounter, as a swift action, a Shadow may flicker and distort itself, throwing shard of itself in the area around it. While under the effects of Distorted Shadow, the shadow has reach 15 and gains the effect of Combat Reflexes, so it may make up to four attacks of opportunity. Distorted shadow lasts until the beginning of the Shadows next action round.

Strength Damage

All of a Shadow's bite attacks (Shadowy Fangs) inflict Strength damage. This is classed as special energy damage and is not considered resistable. Note that a shadow's attacks of opportunity DO inflict Str damage as well. When a creatures Strength score reaches zero, they are dead, regardless of their hit point total.

Spawn Shadow

Any creature which is killed by the Shadow's Strength damage remains on the field of play. On the killing shadow's initiative tick in the next round, a new Shadow is spawned in that square, with an initiative equal to the creating Shadow's initiative, and it may immediately begin taking actions. Note that killing the spawning Shadow before the new shadow arrives WILL stop the new shadow from appearing.
