[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 6737382, member: 54629"] Your examples from HotDQ are well-documented. The only one I've noticed in RoT is Rath being able to concentrate on both [I]fly[/I] and [I]invisibility[/I] at the same time. I'll second this. My PCs are currently in Baldur's Gate, so I'm going to present them with the chance to meet with Ulder Ravengard (and he will extend an invitation to join the Lords' Alliance as well; I thought it was odd that the adventure specifically gives the PCs the chance to join the Harpers and the Order of the Gauntlet fairly early on, but doesn't have anyone do the same for the other three factions at any point). I'd actually suggest keeping the vampire but making it more of a non-combat encounter. Sandesyl could be a good source of cult lore. One thing that isn't really played up enough in the campaign is the fact that not everyone in the cult is happy about the new focus on Tiamat (which has, believe it or not, been in the works since the 2e days - the old [I]Cult of the Dragon[/I] sourcebook talks about how the church of Tiamat in Chessenta has been trying to infiltrate and take over the Cult of the Dragon almost since its inception.) I think keeping her as a member of the Arcane Brotherhood is fine. It helps illustrate that there are a) a lot of different power groups in the Realms and b) that they're all finally starting to sit up and take notice of what the Cult of the Dragon is doing. As written, that's the only way to include a red dragon in the campaign. Personally, I'm thinking about swapping out the white dragon in the flying castle for a red one (who acts as a sort of furnace and central heating system for the castle). [/QUOTE]
