Action: Full Action
Target Number: 25
Keywords: Shadow, Subtle, Verbal
Duration: One scene
Your shadow is more than an extension of yourself... it's the real you, all your doubts and fears, and the strengths that you deny. Animate your shadow as a monster created using the spirit creation rules with 0 Bonus Points. It has your race, Size, Level, trained skills, languages, and feats (except for feats that grant ranks in magic schools, sword schools, or gun kata), and shares resource points with you. Its POW, FIN, and RES are equal to your corresponding Social Characteristics (CHA, FEL, and CMP, respectively). It cannot communicate with beings other than you, and you can perceive through its senses as well as your own. You can have only one Doppelman summoned at a time, and it dissipates if it is more than 50m away from you.
If you are a Darkspawn, your shadow looks identical to you, is capable of speaking to others using your voice, and may be used as the origin point for your spells. Additionally, a Darkspawn can choose to assign damage taken by himself to the Doppelman once per scene.
