PC doomed shadows to not trigger traps

Basically, as it stands, Doomed has to turn off its shadows if it wants to get escorts through Kor'pul/Rhaloren Camp/probably Dreadfel, and also is probably far better off keeping them off in those zones in general due to the constant triggering of area of effect traps. I'm almost inclined to set up the no traps addon just for these, as the damage racks up pretty quickly and badly. Even not triggering pressure traps would be a relief, but as they're shadows, arguably they shouldn't trigger any of the traps, period.

Being shadows definitely means they shouldn't trigger pressure traps in my mind, but other traps may still be triggered, as I believe they're triggered through a magical 'sensor', which may still react to the presence of a shadow-creature.

On the one hand, yeah, that's reasonable conceptually, and why I mentioned the pressure trap only option.
On the other hand pretty much any complex trap they trigger they're likely to trigger multiple times, which gets really old really fast. I'd rather just see it handwaved away in this case, as the more I have to deal with it, the exponentially more aggravating it gets.
