"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

• 3e/3.5: Shade is a template that adds +2 to the base creatures CR.
• 4e Core: Shade is a template that can be added to any Humanoid creature of 11th level or higher. Monsters gain the Elite entry and add that to their XP bonus.
• 4E (Heroes of Shadow) allow for the race of Shades, so no level bonus.
• 5E: nothing yet that isn't the monster "Shade", which is a CR 1/4 (100 XP)
