> I probably wasn't as clear as I should have been with my 'vision' of them. The idea was that these shadows would live inside other cabals, and not act directly upon anyone as shadows unless the circumstances were perfect. (Ie. a huge raid, where you could call darkness, then start sending nightwalkers after everyone) Their main purpose would be just to act like any other Jullias follower, but get a few more nifty powers because I think Jullias' religion works well with the idea of shadow. I never expected them to physically attack anyone else (I did admit in my post that this would give away their identity). I'm not saying my idea would work, but if it didn't work it would only be because people weren't playing them the way there were supposed to be played (Using shadowcloak like dopple). Actually, shadowcloak in general is a bad idea, just because people would tend to misuse it. But, if you are concerned about disguising attack forms or what not, all you need to do is make it similar to toned down transmuter form *shrug*. Ok, getting a little long winded here. How about just giving Jullias' followers a masked version of tell like my stell idea and calling it a day(so they can betray and decieve at will without getting caught)? ...Rome...
> I'm sorry, Rome, but it wouldn't take long to figure out who the Shadows were given your set-up. You'd also have to remove PK ranges, disguise all their attack forms, blah blah blah blah. It doesn't work. You might be able to hide who you were for like an hour before you were figured out.
