Homebrew Eternal Shadow Species Details
Fallen adventurers are able to come back to life in many ways but this one is rare. This requires a significant amount of willpower and take hundreds if not thousands of years. The soul manifests itself in the form of shadows and mostly that's all they can achieve but in a select few the ability to harden the shadows themselves to make them corporeal appears. This shadow is as strong as steel but can also be Intangible. This ability to harness shadows and turn them into solid objects is called shade rend.
Incorporeal and Corporal Forms
Incorporeal can travel through shadows and though up to 5ft of solid objects, they can fly into the Shadows if hurt. Corporal can walk through the light for a short period of time and carry weapons. They can possess other beings and sometimes this results in the host having memories that aren't there own because of the millennia of information that they receive. Most don't remember anything.
Outside of a host body both have a weakness to sunlight while corporeal their strength is halved and if they become incorporeal they are unable to solidify and will only last 1 hour after which they will disappear until dusk if they leave the suns rays before time is up they are able to reform themselves.
