  • Shadow Symbiont (3.5e Monster)
rdfs:comment
  • These parasites originated on the plane of shadow, but have since spread out through their hosts. They don't naturally occur on their own anywhere but the plane of Shadow, though. While quite weak on its own, it tries to bond to a willing host, granting the host multiple powers at its own leisure. It rarely leaves it's bonded host's body while on the material plane, rather like a 3 year old child not leaving it's mother. Whenever the host gains a level, he/she may opt to let the shadow parasite grow by one size category by taking a cumulative -1 penalty to constitution.

  • These parasites originated on the plane of shadow, but have since spread out through their hosts. They don't naturally occur on their own anywhere but the plane of Shadow, though. While quite weak on its own, it tries to bond to a willing host, granting the host multiple powers at its own leisure. It rarely leaves it's bonded host's body while on the material plane, rather like a 3 year old child not leaving it's mother. Whenever the host gains a level, he/she may opt to let the shadow parasite grow by one size category by taking a cumulative -1 penalty to constitution. Please note that this is hardly more than an idea, so I just put down some stats. A better name might be Shadow Symbiont, as it's host also benefits from the bond. Additionally, maybe the "host" should be a template (to match the Raggamuffyn's Captured One), or perhaps a prestige class. I also came up with most of the abilities on the spot :).
