Oh yea, I don't plan on abusing it at all. Just wanted to throw the idea out there and make people aware of the silliness of his ability. As is I feel it's a crazy broken potentially game-breaking ability.

Fair enough on the not ruling over a wasteland, but if the summoned shadows create shadow spawn when they kill say 675 commoners on the first round assaulting a city. Those shadows aren't summoned creatures and are not stopped by protection from evil, and are free to transform more victims. I see that more as rapidly multiplying problem.

In my game I am putting harsher limitations on the ability itself, such as only 1/minute and can't travel farther than 100ft from Eustoyriax himself.

Seannoss - I always assumed shadows never did that because they have no inherent leadership, and were more instinctual than anything else. The summoned shadows obey orders, which then create non-summoned shadows which attack the nearest available sources of life.

So first time posting, but I had a question regarding Eustoyriax. So he has the ability for at-will summon (75%; 1d3 shadows) using the universal monster ability rules. So unless I'm missing something he can summon 11.25 shadows a minute on average, and averaging out 675 shadows an hour (keeping pace at this number because after an hour the summon creatures pop out of existence). Unless there is some limitation regarding his version of summoning that I don't know of I can't see how he couldn't just conquer Golarian (or most of it) just on his own, especially so if the summoned shadows can create shadow spawn from their slain victims. I've looked at the rules but I can't find anything to counter this... so I'm assuming it's an oversight on the broken uses of this ability?
