So the Shadow Template adds a supernatural ability from a set list 1/4 levels. If you don't like one of the options (especially the one where you die if you're below 0hp), is it possible to take one again? I know the +2 luck bonus wouldn't stack, but mirror image, plane shift, heck even the DR. What does the playground think?

Are you looking at the most current version of Shadow Creature in Lords of Madness, or the outdated version in Manual of the Planes? That ability was updated to Fast Healing (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#fastHealing) 2, which stops working if you're at 0 hp or less, but was poorly worded in the 3.0 version.

The Template doesn't say you can't pick the same one twice. I would allow it, but the +2 Saves for example won't stack (since they are both luck), but the ability 1/day would become 2/day.

I feel the same.

Only one I could find was the MotP version, thanks. The fast healing wasn't poorly worded in 3.0, it called it regeneration instead and clearly stated if you hit zero you're dunsky.

Thanks all!
