Additional notesEdit

• The Type 1 Shadow has some form of negative energy attack (DC:11) - Unknown effect.
  
• It is likely that the other forms have special attacks as well - untested.
  
• The Type 2 and Type 3 Shadows have more current hps than total, as shown above, when summoned.
  
• This ability can be used once per rest, the avatar is unsummoned when resting (or when killed).
  
• The game treats the shadow like a summoned creature, so if you cast a summoning spell while the shadow is active it disssapears and cannot be resummoned till you have rested.
• The Augment summoning feat works with the shadow.
• Whilst useful as a low level companion, the summoned Shadow will not last long in any fight at higher levels.
