Dark Gift: Living Shadow

Feat

The shadow you cast is animate and ever-present, even when lighting conditions would otherwise prevent it. Your shadow occasionally moves out of sync with you. Sometimes it appears to be undertaking random but mundane tasks, while at other times it acts out your darker impulses, threatening or even attacking other shadows. With effort, you can bend this shadow puppetry to your will.

Roll on or choose an option from the Shadow Quirk table to determine how your living shadow behaves. Additionally, you gain the traits that follow.

Dark Gift: Shadow Quirk

	Effect
1	My shadow often holds weapons or bears wounds that don’t exist.
2	When I’m distracted, my shadow panics and tries to get other people’s attention, as if it’s desperate to escape me.
3	When it’s not being watched, my shadow makes threatening gestures or creeps toward people.
4	My shadow’s movements mirror mine incorrectly—when I raise my left hand, my shadow moves its right.
5	My shadow fiddles with or occasionally breaks Tiny, nonmagical objects.
6	There’s a slight but noticeable delay between my movements and those of my shadow.
