FanArt: A Shadowdancer from NWN

Peter Pan gone bad? No, just some great concept art!

Cool, I'm playing a Shadowdancer in Hordes of the Underdark right now. She's half a bard but since I've got Deekin I won't focus on that. Underdark's great because you start off with a level 15 character For Undrentide I created a drow Pale Master wizard, whom I'm going to give a scythe when I get the chance. Exactly where did you get that robe, BTW? Is it a monk robe or can Caine the Drow wear it, too?
His armour looks really fine. The shadow's proportions are odd, but can you tell on a shadow? Even in NWN. The posing is good, faithful things these evil shadows are. A very nice drawing, better than anything from me would be.

John H. Beckwith replies: "Thanks for the compliment! If memory serves, I found the armor/robes in the floating city of Undrentide. It's in a wide-open interior room where there are mummies rising repeatedly from sarcophagi. Huge areas of the floor are trapped. The armor itself didn't seem to be a randomly dropped magic item, because when I went back to replay one of my favorite parts of that expansion, I found the armor in the same place as before. Although, when Hordes of the Underdark came out, I noticed that the game was automatically transforming any armor named "robe" into a garment that looked much more like a robe. (To this day, I still like the look of the original armor/robe in this particular instance.) I don't think its stats required the wearer to be a monk. Part of the reason I liked NWN was because sorcerers and wizards often could buy 0 AC robes that had magical AC and/or special resistances. Monks lose several of their class abilities if they are wearing even normal light armor, and monks lack elemental resistances. I often appreciated that my monk/shadowdancer could get some cool-looking (and useful) threads by heading to any city's wizard tower for trading. "
