Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

So yes the question is in the title, does the blood walk ability cost gold, or is it free?

A further question, can we rp out the shadow weave user trait? Or do we need to apply for the shadow adept class?

Last I checked bloodwalk had no cost.

As for the second question, I think it might fall under the "Play your sheet" rule, but maybe someone else can better answer that one.

You need the class.

The shadow adept class is pretty impressive and really adds in that extra "Oomph" for utilising the shadow weave. The +4 CL to spells with Illusion and Necromancy is pretty awesome I can imagine with a DC caster in mind.

That and being able to create shadow magic items mechanically sounds awesome.

The info I have been getting from is the Wiki which the link is here if you want to peek.

EDIT: Got some info for your original question, Looks like its just cooldown.

Bloodwalk
Type of Feat: Class Ability
Prerequisites: Blood Magus 10th level
Specifics: The blood magus attains the supernatural ability to transport himself over great distances via the blood of living creatures. Once per day, as a standard action, he can seamlessly enter any one living creature whose size equals or exceeds his own and pass any distance to another living creature in a single round, regardless of the distance separating the two. If he desires, the blood magus may attempt to make a "bloody" exit from the destination creature. He bursts forth explosively from the creature's body, dealing 16d6 points of damage unless the target passes a fortitude save. (10 + Class Level + Blood Magus's con modifier)
This ability can be used to mark a person, to travel to this person as if by teleport or to attack a person.
Use: Selected

Note: Cooldown is 5 minutes, an hour for the actual in-between areas teleport.

Yeah it is impressive. the question was simply driven by the wiki actually, that says the feat is acquired by either magical discovery or by becoming a Shadow Adept.

Just remember that the shadow weave is an incredibly heavily guarded secret. Shar is NOT forgiving of her secrets being spilled.
