I didn't think they were considered undead either, but because I am using the simplified ThAC0 rules from 2nd edition (something you did for us back in the day and I liked it better), I am using a 2nd edition DM screen instead of a first edition. It has more stuff, which is nice, but it also shows shadows on the cleric turning table so I went with it. I prefer that they not be treated as undead, however.<br /><br />I do think the party could have handled the shadows as they had magic weapons, but it definitely would have set the party back by a few days due to strength drains. And as we all know, time can be the real enemy in this game.Mike Breukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037812886524432452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003441658421907741.post-80919550626334170222017-04-01T15:55:29.496-07:002017-04-01T15:55:29.496-07:00This sounds like one of the best sessions yet--pla...This sounds like one of the best sessions yet--players making deductions, atypical solution to a big problem, negotiation, a big bad, clues and swag!<br /><br />I guess the prohibitions placed on Athan didn't extend to talking about the mirror? Nice loophole.<br /><br />Shadows aren't undead in some early versions of the game--how would the crew have fared if unable to turn them I wonder? But if the party is mostly decked out in plate with fair hit points by this stage (they can tackle a giant!) then I guess it would have just been a "speed bump."Jarrett Perduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781934913113611353noreply@blogger.com
