       Ambitious, ruthless, and paranoid, shades are humans who trade
       part of their souls for a sliver of the Shadowfell's dark
       essence. Even more so than the shadowborn (natives of the
       shadowfell descended of common races)shades are gloom incarnate.
       No matter what nations or land one was first born into, each
       shade undergoes a dark rebirth that transforms him or her into a
       creature of stealth and secrecy who is caught between life and
       death. In exchange for the twilight powers granted to shades,
       the Shadowfell taints their souls with dark thoughts and a
       darker disposition.

       Fragile Mortality. Your hit die takes a -1 penalty for both your

       Shadow-Spawned. When you hit 0 hit points and fall unconscious,
       you spawn a Shadow (Monster Manual) that will protect your body
       by attacking the nearest creature and can use its reaction to
       force an attack targeted at your body to attack it instead. It
       cannot move to a position further than 5ft from your body. You
       may expend up to 1/4 your total hit dice (minimum 1) to spawn
       the Shadow. The Shadow's HP equals the amount of HP you lost due
       to your Frail Mortality feature plus 1d8 per hit die you
       expended to summon it. The Shadow's HP is recovered in a short
       rest. If the Shadow is destroyed this ability recharges on a
