Book of Vile Darkness

[yipwyg42]

Does anyone know if there is any info on this book converting it to 3.5.

Thanks

Nothing official of which I am aware. And I've looked.

Most of the stuff should be fine. Murder and Allied Trades hasn't changed since 3.5e, you know.

Some material is "recycled", though: The archfiends are in the Fiendish Codex books, for example.

The Archfiends and Demon Princes as presented in BoVD are of a significantly higher CR, however.

Although it shouldn't be too hard to extrapolate the powers of the lower CRs and apply them to the BoVD stats.

The closest thing you'll find officially is the Book of Vile Darkness FAQ

Unofficially, a short product called the Leaflets of Triel is your best bet, as it not only converts the BoVD to 3.5E, but also its web enhancement and Dragon and Dungeon materials as well.

I think parts of it have also appeared piecemeal in 3.5 products.

I could be wrong, though, because I can't remember any specific examples.

Spells

Honestly, I've seen most of the spells from this book show up in later products heavily rewroked to 3.5. They're in books like Complete Arcane and Mage and Spell Compendium.

Nothing official, but some work has been done.

Also note that although in FCI, the demons were represented as the real deal, in FCII, they wisely only statted "Aspects" of the Archdevils. They're not unlike divine aspects from the Minis Handbook, but the FCII ones are a lot more powerful (they're more or less updated versions from the BoVD), and it is said that each fiend can only have one such aspect. They also say that if the actual fiends are to be fought, the DM should make appropriate stats (they have some short guidelines on how to advance the aspects to be the real fiends).

Many of the feats have popped up again, mostly in the Fiendish Codices and Champions of Ruin.
