Their voices are weak.\r\n\r\n[b]Bitter Spirits[\/b]. Shrouds are transitional creatures: remnants of wicked people who died but refuse to rest in peace, yet have not grown strong enough to become shadows. They are aggressive enemies of all living creatures and the light that nurtures life. Shrouds blend naturally into darkness, but they stand out starkly in bright light.\r\n\r\n[b]Thin Outlines[\/b]. Shrouds look like flickering shadowy outlines of the people they were before they died, retaining the same height and body type.\r\n\r\n[b]Repetitive Speech[\/b]. Shrouds cannot converse, but they occasionally can be heard cruelly whispering a name, term, or phrase over and over again: something that must have had meaning to them in life.\r\n\r\n[b]Undead Nature[\/b]. A shroud doesn\u2019t require air, food, drink, or sleep.","suggested_environments":"","armor_class":"13","hit_points":"9","strength":"4","dexterity":"13","constitution":"10","intelligence":"2","wisdom":"10","charisma":"8","base_movement_units":"","base_movement_in_ft":"","fly_movement_in_ft":"30","burrow_movement_in_ft":"","swim_movement_in_ft":"","climb_movement_in_ft":"","can_hover":"1","senses":"[tooltip:If you have Darkvision, you can see in Dim Light within a specified range as if it were Bright Light and in Darkness within that range as if it were Dim Light.

The shroud can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.\r\n\r\n[b]Shadow Evolution[\/b]. Shrouds instantly become shadows once they cause a total of 12 damage. Any damage they\u2019ve suffered is subtracted from the shadow\u2019s total hit points or abilities.\r\n\r\n[b]Shroud Stealth[\/b].

Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) necrotic damage, and the target\u2019s Strength score is reduced by one-half that amount. The target dies if this reduces its Strength to 0. Otherwise, the reduction lasts until the target finishes a short or long rest. If a non-evil humanoid dies from this attack, a new shadow rises from the corpse 1d4 hours later.","bonus_actions":"","reactions":"","legendary_actions":"","lair_description":"","lair_actions":"","regional_effects":"","motivation":"","tactics":"","image_gallery_id":"6637319","source":"Tome of Beasts","tags":"","templateId":"2991","blockId":"1550546","world":"f23bfee1-fef1-458a-9e5d-7b8dc747c3db","folder":"31402","isShared":"on"}
