Has anyone tried this as a player or allowed it as DM?
Looking in the FRCS, it seems like the Shade is a bit overpowered. It also seems like a pain having to say, "Yes, you're in the dark" constantly, having to be aware of that all the time, and make the changes to stats round by round.
Any experience here?

"That's right, hurl back views that force ye to think by name-calling - 'tis the grand old tradition, let it not down! Anything to keep from having to think, or - Mystra forfend - change thy own views!"
Narnra glowered at her father. "Just how am I to learn how to think? By being taught by you?"
"Some folk in the Realms would give their lives for the chance to learn at my feet," Elminster said mildly. "Several already have."

| And you really only have to worry about whether they're in the dark when they're in combat. :) So, hopefully, that isn't all the time.... |

"That attitude should be stomped on, whenever and wherever it's encountered, because it makes people holding such views bad citizens, not just bad roleplayers (considering D&D was structured as a 'forced cooperation' game, and although successive editions are pointing it more and more towards a me-first, min-max game, the drift away from 'we all need each other to succeed' will at some point make it 'no longer' D&D)." - ED GREENWOOD |
