| elonin04-19-08, 09:42 PM | I've heard references about a dark template. Would someone help me with some details? |
| teshen04-20-08, 02:57 AM | It's from the Tome of Magic. It's in the section on shadowcasting... |
| Pandapeep04-20-08, 03:21 AM | Ah, the dark template. Hide in Plain sight at second level. Tasty. huge bonuses to hide and move silently. Nummtastic. What to get really sick? Toss the dark template on a Whisper Gnome. At second level? A crazy +20 to hide. |
| elonin04-20-08, 06:06 AM | The plan was to throw the dark template onto a drow for wizard/rogue gestalt. My problem is that while alot of people talk about it I can't find the crunchy details online. |

My problem is that while alot of people talk about it I can't find the crunchy details online.That's because it's copyrighted/not OGL. I hope you're going with lesser drow + dark template + level buy off. Templates on casters are typically a bad idea unless you just really need some aspect of it to help your casting... like draconic creature (again, + buy off) for practical metamagic. You don't really want to slow down your casting more than you have to. |
| elonin04-20-08, 11:58 AM | I ended up dropping the dark template due to not being able to find the book. This isn't for a pure caster build. I'm making a gestalt rogue to shadow dancer and wizard swashbuckler build. The wizard will only be advancing to level 11 in the 20 level build. |
| Spiritwalker04-21-08, 04:34 AM | in the book, there's a magic item that grants you the Dark Template as a constant effect if you have 22,000gp lying about |
