I'm looking at making a character VERY loosely based on Dr. Facilier (Shadow Man) from Disney's Princess & the Frog. He communes with spirits & creatures of the Shadow Plane which grant him power in return for spreading their power in the material plane. So far, I have:
Dread Gnome variant (ARG 33)
Dark Tapestry Oracle (UM 54)
Haunted Curse
Thoughts, Ideas and comments are appreciated. Nothing is set definitively as of yet.
A Gravewalker Witch comes to mind. My first thought was Juju Oracle but that prolly wouldn't work.
juju oracle, the witch as suggested above, im sure a court bard or shadow puppeteer/dirge bard combo or somesuch could pull it off well as well.
See the summoner shadowcaller. Your shadow is your eidolon.
Only problem with the Gravewalker Witch is the Undead aspect of it. The character is more tied to the shadow realm.
