Shadow Avatar
“ | With the downfall of our home, we have become avatars of the darkness—we crave the light, but we must also embrace our fears. | ” |
—Darcey, Shadowcon druid of Enori Towers |
Masters of the darkness-- mysterious individuals whom invoke the shadows of the world. Many shadowcon fear the darkness that their home world had protected them by—which was also a shroud to worsen their fears. Since the destruction of their home, some have been left scarred by this belief that the darkness is Catastrophe reincarnated. Some shadowcon, however, have found a way around this fear—using the darkness to their advantage. With this knowledge, they have become the darkness themselves—an avatar of Catastrophe. Shadow Avatars are powerful, and they use the darkness to transpose themselves or imprison their foes in orbs of darkness full of dark memories.
As powerful as they seem, their power comes at a limit. Many Shadow Avatars have developed a use to combine martial or arcane powers with their shadow powers to create a plethora of combinations to enhance their effectiveness. However, this consumes their internal energy source. Like that of Catastrophe, Shadow Avatars have a life force within them. When this life force becomes unbalanced, it can tear them apart like what had befallen their home. You can use this life force to augment your powers in one way or another.
Shadow Avatar Path Features
- Avatar's Power (11th level): Shadow Avatars acquire the use of power points that function like action points. Using a power point gives you a variety of benefits, but will also bring about temporary weakness. When you run out of power points, your weakness becomes greater until you regain power points. See the tables below.
- Shadow Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take another action, you also gain concealment until the end of your next turn.
- Shadow's Wrath (16th level): You can extend the range of all of your melee or close burst attack powers by 1, and you can also deal an additional 2d6 Necrotic damage on a successful hit with such powers.
