Shadow Strangler's Character Notes
Shadows Come Alive
Magic, supernatural happenings, or any number of other strange events can cause these strange creatures to materialize. They appear right next to their targets and are a manifestation of shadow. They are malicious and evil and only want to kill the target in which they are sprung from. Scholars know little else concerning these mysterious creatures.

At Home In The Dark
It is believed that these shadow creatures come from the Plane of Shadow. They can also appear randomly from any shadow though this is extremely rare. Their normal environment is darkness so they do not get any penalties. Conversely, PCs may experience a Minor or Major Environmental Penalties depending on when they are encountered. Bright light can help the PC cope with this penalty but it doesn't seem to have much effect on a Shadow Strangler.

NPC Auto Assigned Bonuses

Atomic RPG auto generated NPC Bonuses represent normal gear, items, and coolness of a NPC. With these mods regular items don’t need to be added. These can also represent tough hide, sharp teeth, and other natural strengths of a NPC animal or monster. If you want to equip the NPC with specific gear you can, but they are not needed. Character Items should be equivalent to these to keep this character balanced. If many items with bonuses are added consider removing Auto Assigned Bonuses from the NPC. This can be done in Edit Level > Base NPC.

Power Error Note: It is OK if an NPC has errors on their Powers. NPC’s can have a mix of Powers. However, if there are more Powers with errors then don’t have errors; GMs should consider adjusting the NPC. The Archetype, Focus, or Traits should be changed to better suit the Powers they have.
