I can second this thread.

A Shade template would indeed be awesome.

I used to have loads of D&D books, Monster Manuals and so forth. I seem to recall the template being fully explained in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Settings book, with all the nescessary bonuses and such. I can't seem to find all my old books, if I could I would have written everything down here.

This is the book.


Not sure if this info is usefull, but hope it helps.
