Dark creatures are otherwise mundane creatures that have become bound to the nature of a darkness orientated plane, specifically the Plane of Shadow. They resemble dark images of beings found on the Material Plane.
Useless information.
A caster may choose to forgo the ability to summon creatures with the celestial or fiendish templates and gain the ability to summon creatures with the dark template in their place. Once made this choice requires an atonement spell or equivalent to change.
No casters or spells.
"Dark" is an inherited template that can be added to any corporeal aberration, animal, dragon, fey, giant, humanoid, magical beast, monstrous humanoid, plant, or vermin of good or neutral alignment (referred to hereafter as the base creature).
No Dark Template needed, no template needed ever. Useless information.
A dark creature uses all the base creature’s statistics and abilities except as noted here. Do not recalculate the creature’s Hit Dice, base attack bonus, saves, or skill points if its type changes.
No stats, abilities, hit dies, attack bonuses or skill points.
Size and Type
Dark creatures gain the incorporeal subtype and animals or vermin with this template become magical beasts, but otherwise the creature type is unchanged. Size is unchanged. Dark creatures encountered on the Material Plane have the extraplanar subtype.
