{{quote|I am a master of shadow.|}}

'''Prerequisite:''' {{I}}Arcane power source|Arcane power source]].

As a shadowcrafter, you have immersed yourself in the study of light and especially darkness. Now you are a master of shadow, with power over shadow far greater than other arcane spellcasters could possably imagine. Even shadow itself has become your friend, a constant companion that you, and you alone, truly understand.

===Shadowcrafter Path Features===

:'''Dark Shroud (11th Level):''' You are cloaked in a shroud of darkness which is inimical to your foes. When a creature provokes an {{I}}opportunity attack|opportunity attack]] from you, make an opportunity attack with your shadow shroud ({{I}}Ability scores|Charisma]] vs. {{I}}Reflex defense|Reflex]]). You deal 1d8 + Charisma modifier damage with this attack.
:'''Summon Spiritshadow (11th Level):''' You gain the {{I}}Ranger|ranger's]] ''beast companion'' class feature, with the following exceptions;
:* The spiritshadow is called from the astral sea rather than the natural world, so it is an {{I}}Immortal origin|immortal]] {{I}}Magical Beast type|magical beast]].
:* The spiritshadow occupies it's master's shadow, so while you have a spiritshadow, you have no natural shadow.
:* The spiritshadow has the form of a three-dimesnsional solid shadow in the shape of an animal.
:* The spiritshadow is reliant on light to exist; in darkness it takes a -2 penalty to its defenses, attack rolls and damage rolls. In order to use a healing surge, it must be near some form of light.
:* You or your spiritshadow can deal the extra damage from your {{I}}Rogue|sneak attack]] class feature, but only one of you can deal the extra damage each round.
:'''Power of Shadow (16th Level):''' When you are {{I}}Bloodied|bloodied]], you gain a +2 {{I}}Bonuses and Penalties|power bonus]] to {{I}}Attack Roll|attack rolls]] when you use a power that has the {{I}}Necrotic|necrotic]] {{I}}keywords|keyword]].
