D&D 3E/3.5 Sunless Citadel: Shadow(s), death and new ideas...

[Ednoc]

I played in a one-shot with the 5E adaptation of the Sunless Citadel. Half the party died to shadows and the survivors decided to abandon the place. The DM also decided that the increased number of shadows led to them attacking several of the other living creatures left in the dungeon, resulting in the place becoming infested by the things.

My first 5E character also died to a shadow. Those things are no joke.

At least a Shadow is CR3 in 3.5... Not 1/2. Encountering a Shadow at first level seems way more scarier to me at level 1 than at level 2-3 by a mile. Even then, it is still pretty dangerous.
