Greetings,


I got a series of questions about the Shadow family of powers. The main ones are:

1. Do Shadow Molding and APS: Shadow work together when you are in shadow form?
I was thinking of using your own body as the source of objects, and whether if the objects count as remaining in contact with you while you are in Shadow form.

2. Does Shadow Manipulation work on objects created with Shadow Molding?
To modify the size or shape of the tools.

3. Does the use of Shadow Cloak allow for indefinite shadow form from APS: Shadow?
It seems that it is a shadow that can never be dispersed so, no bright light making you return to your natural shape.

4. Does the use of any of the Shadow Manipulation abilities emulate the first effect of Shadow Cloak?
I am thinking of a different way to get indefinite shadow form for APS: Shadow

I might post other questions depending on the answers.

Thanks,

Thanks,

1a.That sounds like a "body weapons" or shape-changing situation, and I love it.

1b. All rules of both combining powers must still be followed, so the shadow object must remain in contact with the shadow being.

2. Sounds legit.

3. Unless the shadow cloak is defeated, the shadow remains. Note this is also great for getting Nightstalking minor power online.

Combining powers is encouraged, and as a GM I feel that if a player invests multiple powers into that combo, let them be rewarded.

Thanks for the answers, another question please:

4. Does the use of any of the Shadow Manipulation abilities emulate the first effect of Shadow Cloak?? (I am thinking of a different way to get indefinite shadow form for APS: Shadow)

EDIT: I will place this question on the original post too.

All of these fall under the decision of the GM given that the powers as written do not say whether these stunts are possible. Personally I'd allow them, but that is just me.

OR just take Immunity to Light/lazers.

Being immune to light and lasers is not the same as being able to generate shadows at will...

But you are right, it is a better option.
