So, this is a Golem loosely based off of the Giant Robot Anime "Mobile Suit Gundam". I was inspired to create this and several other Golems due to being a fan of that Anime series. The main insperation for this one, though, comes from the Offshoot series "Gundam Seed". In that series, there was a "Team" of three Gundams whos pilots didn't work well together, to the point of attacking each other instead of their enemies! The "Unhinged Tactics" trait is based off this "Effective Tactic".

This "Monster" is actually doublely useful. It can be used as an ally or a foe, depending on the needs of the campaign. It was also an early experiment at seeing how making the "Marked" condition would feel if it was a lasting effect sometimes.

Shadows of the PCs #3: Shadow Sheska
So, back again later than I thought. So I'll just get on with the article.
So, continuing my list of articles on bringing my PC's Shadows to life, well, continues. Up this time is Shadow Sheska. Sheska was the Swordmage PC mentioned in an earlier article. Her Shadow was created the way it was due to the fact that Sheska's Player was starting to get bored of the Swordmage Class and was seeing the limitations of it as well. So, that is why her Shadow has an Anti-Magic theme to it. So on with the statblock!
-----
Shadow Sheska Level 10 Solo Soldier
Medium shadow humanoid (human, shadow) XP 2,500

Hit: 3d12 + 6.
Double Trouble • At-Will
Effect: Shadow Sheska makes 2 Basic Melee attacks and Shifts 5 squares in between the attacks.
Minor Actions
Curse of the Broken Wand • Daily
Effect: Sheska is Weakened until the end of the encounter. When Shadow Sheska is Bloodied, Sheska has Ongoing 10 Damage. When Shadow Sheska is destroyed, Sheska loses all Arcane Powers if she is still weakened by this power..

So details about the Powers...
--Anti-Magic Field--
Basically, this Shadow sucks the Magic from the World just by her presence. Mechanically, this is represented by giving a penalty to Arcane attacks against her and things near her. This was bad for two of the PCs, Sheska and Vorgh. Vorgh had regained his Humanity and Living status after his last Level Up and was now a Chaos Sorcerer. However, this pretty much never came up in the fight since their players rolled like bosses for the whole battle!
--B.F.S. & B.F.S. Sweep--
the abbreviation stands for "Big Freaking Sword". :P An early Build of Sheska used a Fullblade so I did these as a throwback to that.
--Curse of the Broken Wand--
This is how Sheska the Swordmage became Sheska the Brawler Fighter.
So, next on the List will be Shadows of the Parties Elven Sentinel Druid, Dara Silverleaf, and Her Bear Companion, Peevo. See you next time:)
