Hey everyone. I've tried searching the forums for answers to my question, but the only things that seem to come up are "what in the world is a wayang?"
Anyways, i want to play one, and i'm looking at the Shadow Puppeteer racial Archetype.
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/races/other-races/uncommon-races/arg-wayang/shadow- puppeteer-bard-wayang
Shadow Puppets (Sp): At 1st level, a shadow puppeteer can use bardic performance to create one quasi-real shadowy creature resembling a monster from the summon monster I list. These shadowy creatures otherwise work like shadow conjuration, and targets interacting with them get a Will saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your bard level + your Charisma bonus) to treat them as only 20% real. At 4th level and every three levels thereafter, this ability acts like the next higher version of summon monster (summon monster II at 4th level and so on).
This ability in particular is causing me trouble.
1) "can use bardic performance." Does this mean that a bardic performance simply creates, or actually sustains the ability. IE: do i have to keep puppeting to maintain the creature, or can i just create one and move on?
1a) if i can create and move on, can i continue creating more?
2) "one quasi real shadow creature" Does this mean i lose the ability to use a lower level "summon" spell to create more than one creature? If so, why?
Thanks for the help.
