Hey all! I am posting this as a minor issue, though it could require a wider discussion given it's related to a PRC's mechanics.
Bug name: Shadowdancer summon shadow ability - Shadow level & number of uses per rest
Where: tested on test server
When: tested at class level 3 (with and without shadow affinity feat), class level 6, class level 10 (both with shadow affinity feat)
What:
1) In base NWN, the summoned shadow is supposed to change type becoming a Shadow Fiend at SD level 6, and a Shadow Lord at SD level 9.
https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/ShadowdancerIn POTM, the shadow does not change template, remaining a basic shadow and retaining the level 3 shadow template properties. Is this working as intended? This is my most relevant question as it can affect choices in character level progression, as the basic shadow template is extremely weak (so it would be primarily an RP tool, rather than something useful from a mechanical point of view).
2) The shadow affinity feat does not apply to shadow levels. The summoned shadow's level is equal to the SD class levels of the character. Looking at the feat text, I think that is because the summoned shadow has an Undead rather than Outsider race.
3) In POTM's version of the Summon Shadow feat, the SD is supposed to be able to use the skill 2 times per day at level 6, 3 times per day at level 9. The number of uses per day did not increase accordingly upon reaching said levels (of course after resting, tried resting 2 times for good measure).
Recreate: I'd suggest testing a shadowdancer build on the test server or even in the official environment to double check
Ideas: Apart for the potential bugs in the intended summon shadow implementation, would the skill need any kind of rebalancing? Assuming the low level shadow is the intended summoned creature (open to brainstorm in case!)
Thank you guys as always
