I have been working on a mod as a side project This is the progress so far I finish the summon system there is still some thing to do but it's almost done as you can see in the video you can extract shadows from any enemy you will have three attempts to do that.
the higher the level of the target the harder it gonna be To extract its shadow.
As you level up it's gonna be easier and easier to extract shadow from dead enemies
The calculation behind that dice roll Is ( Target level + 10 ) - (Your current level / 2) = The DC you need to roll.
And you will only have three attempt to extract the shadow if you fail all three You will not be able to extract shadow from that target.
I added a system that you can store your shadow summon in your shadow domain and you can summon them whenever you want, And you don't have to store them away you can keep them outside your domain You wouldn't need to worry about micromanaging them like the the game regular summon and followers Especially when you are in difficult mesh to navigate They can't make a jump or they can't follow you, if that happen they will teleport to you at a certain distance.
You can access their inventory using the spell i provided so you can't give them Armor weapon or any item you like.
I buffed the shadow followers a little bit and I added a system so they can level up with you to keep them relevant as you progress in the game.
I also added resource action system So you can be any class and you don't have to be a certain class to be a shadow monarch , you can use the game Resource system and the shadow monarch system.
This is the progress so far I hope I didn't forget anything, There is still much to do I'm still working on it and fine tuning it.
i will add new spells as you level up , There will be some balancing and testing so wish me good luck.
