Beyond the veil of reality another realm exists, similar yet different to our own. Colors are muted and only pale light bathes the surface of this world.
It is inhabited by creatures that might be a mirror of our own, but the substance of that strange realm permeates them and gives them special abilities.
CREATING SHADOW CREATURES:
The list of creatures in this section should offer enough variety for most characters with Tattoo Companion Edge, but if you have a specific one in mind or you need to populate the Shadow Realm in your setting world, you can create your own using the instruction in Making Companions section of Companions & Familiars.
If you decide to use this option, follow the standard 32 points to build the desired creature. All shadow creatures should have these three abilities: Dark Sight (2) and Extraplanar (-1) from that section, and also the following new Special Ability worth 2 points:
• Shadow Blend: In Dim or darker places, they gain a bonus of +2 to Stealth and Parry.
