0 LA shadow related?

[killianh]

building a shadow caster from ToM and wondering if (for flavour) are there any 0 LA 0 RHD races that are shadow related?

There's the Shadowswyft from the Planar Handbook. It has an LA of +1, but it is Planetouched. This means that you can reduce the LA to 0 by downgrading it to the lesser version.

I believe that a (lesser) gloaming (Und) is also LA0.

You can get a Collar of Umbral Metamorphosis, which grants the dark template for only 22k, which isn't much at higher levels.

Is it PF or 3.5?

Is it PF or 3.5?

Well, he mentions the Tome of Magic (and the Shadowcaster class), and since no 'official' conversion of them exists, it's probably safe to assume 3.5.

[The Redwolf]

Ah, got it, hadn't thought of that. I just know a couple good Pathfinder ones I was gonna recommend.

Illumians and Synads are also from the Plane of Shadow

Tome of Magic itself has Dark Creature on page 161. LA +1, and by the fluff makes you partly made of shadow (since you're native to the Plane of Shadow). Usually considered useful for its Hide in Plain Sight ability.
