Does anyone use it to experience a shadowy distortion of the real world?

Are there creatures on it that aren't on Mabar?

Why don't the umbragen connect up with it?

Why are the umbragen racial feats so weak? ;)

As too why they don't connect to it: they can if you want them too, and it's pretty likely that their mysterious power source actually does connect to it.

12-12-07, 02:36 PM There's not a lot for the Plane of Shadow, that's true. In one sense, Shadow is where illusions come from. It's hard to make an illusion dangerous as a creature.

You'll find some creatures in the Miniature's Handbook for the Plane of Shadow. Other than that, you're kinda on your own.

I had a quick side adventure for one of my players into the Plane of Shadow. I treated the place as mostly empty. What was there was twisted and unreal, and though dangerous, they were more insanely odd than malevolently dangerous.

I could invite you to read The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I believe it's in the sixth book where technology is used to do just that. After all, Eberron is somewhat more technologically advanced than average D&D settings.
Plus, DT is just plain *****kicking.

12-12-07, 10:23 PM Yes, I loved the DT series, too, but I seriously wouldn't do that one in Eberron. It's not quite to flavour. I'd homebrew a campaign for that, and probably mix it up with a series called the "Dungeon" published in the early 90's. That series involved similar plane/dimension hopping into strange and preverse regions. I'd homebrew it.
