SHADES

STR: 3 DEX: 15 CTRL: 13
HP: 8
Numbing Touch (d6 Stress)

Incorporeal: The Shade’s lack of a fully material form means conventional weapons have no effect on them.
Revitalize: The Shade heals half the Stress dealt by their Numbing Touch, rounded down.
Illuminated: Bright and direct sources of lights reveal a Shade’s true form. Once exposed, they can be harmed by conventional weaponry and their Numbing Touch deals standard damage.
Two Dimensional: Unless exposed to a direct source of light, Shades are two dimensional creatures. As such, they can slip through cracks and hide within darkness itself. However, they are also bound by these limitations and can only travel across surfaces.

Shades are death shadows. They are the remnants of people and creatures, their physical forms dead or burned away to the otherworld, leaving only their shadow behind. Shrouded in darkness, they are trapped between worlds, seeking vitality to sustain themselves.

FALLOUT: SUBSUME
The Shade severs and consumes the shadow of their victim, permanently leaving them without one, regardless of any light that shines upon them.

VARIANTS

Creatures: Teeth, pincers, spines, tentacles. These Shades were once any variety of horrid creatures whose shadows now infect the material plane.
Human: At one point human, their bodies burned away through misuse of a Resonant Artifact, Rituals, Fallout, or getting caught up in a planar anomaly.
