Ive been thinking abut making a shadow dancer, something I havent done since 3.5 first came out when I was in high school.
the thing is, Ive never quite known what to do with the Shadow companion. they make a good flanking buddy, okay, but they are fragile, and if it dies, that negative level sucks. (lets be honest, how many shadowdancer have the Fortitude save to beat that 15 every time?)
So i was wondering if there is anything fun you can do with your shadow that still gives some benefit, but doesnt cause it to be in harms way all the time.
In high school, my DM let me pay for a short sword that bound my shadow to it, so I got strength drain when i hit with it: Basically, I was 'hitting" with my shadow companion. It was a cool idea, but probably a bit too cool.
Is there anything else like this that I can do?
