Shadow Form/Shadow Walker [DF12] Ninja questions

Stix4armz · 01-18-2012, 06:15 PM

So I'm preparing for a campaign using Dungeon Fantasy, for which I am playing a ninja. I decided to buy Shadow Walker DF12 p6, which is the ninja version of Shadow Form B83. The ability seems good, but there were a ton of problems I couldn't find answers to, especially relating to combat.

- What is the time to switch into shadow form? (none is listed, so is it immediate?)

-Can I switch into shadow form in combat? Can I do this as a dodge?

- If I can use this as a dodge, what position to I come back up in if I switch back? (standing, prone, crawling, etc?)

- Now if I can do all of the above things, can I switch to shadow form to dodge, move between my opponents legs, come up behind them, and attack?

- The desription in Basic Set says, "You can become a two-dimensional
shadow. This lets you slip along walls and floors – and through the thinnest cracks (anything wide enough to fit your shoulders through)" So which is it? The thinnest of of cracks or anything wide enough to fit your shoulders through? (My GM thinks it means that it could be a microscopic crack that is at least shoulders witdth long, e.g. under a door, but not through a mouse hole -- Is that right?)

- What sort of skill roll would be required to hide inside someones shadow or mimic someones shadow? (Miming? Acting?)

- This character has Super Jump 2, which at his basic speed means that I can jump 4.2 yards straight up (or more with a running start); so can I jump up, hit the ceiling, and switch into shadow form and stick up there? (basically same question but could I do a running jump and stick to a wall?)

- Can I turn into shadow form on the surface of water or would I sink to the bottom? What if I would normally be able to walk on water because of inflatable ninja shoes and the light walk skill, could I stay on the surface then?

- Thats all the questions I have for the moment, but as questions get answered I might think of more. Thanks for the help!
