Shadow of the PCs: Part 2

So, time for the second of my PCs Shadows, Shadow Adiah. Well, Adiah is a Deva Avenger. Devas reincarnate when they die and the current version of Adiah has no memory of his last two "Lifetimes". So, I'm foreshadowing the reasons why that is so. And that is what most influenced my design for his Shadow. so, let us get on with the Statblock, then?

Going through this Shadows abilities out of order is counter intuitive but necessary for it.

Oath of Destruction-- So Avengers have an ability that makes it better against a certain foe. This is his version of it. Also, Shadow Adiah recharges this when he becomes Bloodied, allowing him to have multiple targets under the Oath. Of course, the first thing he did in the battle was make real Adiah his first oath target.

Betrayer of Friends-- This trait serves two purposes: 1: Foreshadowing that Adiah Betrayed his friends in a previous life. And 2: Allowing Shadow Adiah to Spread the damage around even while concentrating on his Oath target.

Void of the Soul-- Several PCs had Poison resistance at the time of this encounter, so I put this in to make him a bit more of a threat to the whole party.

Ray of Noxiousness-- I like giving my Players a choice between two very bad things. This was also a way of dealing with the Parties Swordmage's Mark. At the time i designed this, that PC had the Shielding Aegis. That PC retrained in to the Assult Aegis at 8th level. In other words, just before this was encountered. So, I made a bad choice by giving them a choice between being pulled around and falling down. BUT it was a learning experience and I learned from it.

Everything else-- is pretty much self explanatory, I think.

So, that was part two of this series. Part three is coming soon, but first I'm doing a List type thing. I'll be sharing lists of NPC Names regularly and first up is names for "Warforged/Gearforged/Robotfolk!" So, I'm hoping to have that up sometime on Tuesday.
