Saving Throw. Special
This spell is related to shadow monsters and demi-shadow monsters (qq.v.), but the monsters created are of 60% hit points and damage potential and are of armor class 6.
Campaign Rule. If saving throws are successful that individual ignores and damage resistance and magic resistance possessed by the shadow monster. Otherwise, these abilities will manifest 20% of the time they are tested (or 40%/60% for demi-shadow monsters or shades). ie. If a shadow monster water elemental is attacked by a creature with a mundane sword, a d% is rolled and on a 01-20, the sword will do no damage due to the shadow monster elemental's damage resistance of +2. As with any illusion, if the caster is not familiar with the creature, bonuses will be added to the save (up to automatic success).
Polyhedron #18; Dispel Confusion, p.29: ADQ: Can an illusionist create a creature with a gaze attack from the Shadow Monsters spell? Will the gaze attack work since the monsters created by the spell are in part real?ADA: The gaze attack is real some of the time. Use the percentage of normal damage potential given by the spell description (i.e. 20% for Shadow Monsters, 40% for Demi-Shadow Monsters, and 60% for Shades) as the chance that the effects of the gaze attack will be real. Check each time the gaze is used. Victims are still entitled to the appropriate saving throw.
