Shadow Form is a High-level class ability usable by Shadowdancer only.
It grants an Improved Invisibility effect and +50% resistance to all Physical damage.
The effect works the same way as a shaman's Spirit Form.
In-game description[]
| “ | Shadow Form This ability temporarily transposes some of the user's tissue with shadow-material, making the subject partially incorporeal. For the next 5 rounds, all physical attacks directed against the Shadowdancer only deal 50% of their normal damage. During this time, the Shadowdancer is also under the effects of Improved Invisibility and cannot be directly targeted by spells. |
” |
Gameplay[]
- Increase the current physical resistance value by 50% for 5 rounds. Stacks with Defender of Easthaven and Armor of Faith.
- As a nonmagical effect, this buff cannot be dispelled by enemies (whether via Dispel Magic, beholder anti-magic rays or divination spells). That includes both the physical damage resistance and the improved invisibility part of the effect, meaning that, unless the enemy outright ignores invisibility (like Liches do), they won't be able to target you with spells directly (only via area of effect spells) for the whole 5 rounds duration.
- Shadow Form can be stacked with Hardiness for a combined 90% physical resistance (which can be further combined with the Defender of Easthaven for 110%). Hardiness can be accessed by single-class Shadowdancers via usage of Wish scrolls.
