How plunderable for regular D&D use? Is the PC material balanced against D&D classes as options to use in a D&D game? Will the monsters be directly useable in a D&D game?
 

A short summary of the book:

As the title says, Monte has created his own version of the World of Darkness setting with d20 rules. There are rules for playing Vampires, Werewolves, Demons, Mages and a new archetype called Awakened which is a very competent human who somehow anchors reality.

The powers functions like a variant kind of feats. Demons have Cants, Mages have Gnosis, Vampires have Disciplines, Werewolves have Rites.

Mages create spells with Components. A Component is a point cost for casting the spell and the Spellcraft DC.
 

If you ignore the modern day stuff I tthink McWoD could be used together with the D&D rules. All the five types start as 4th level characters with 4 hit dice, skill points, two feats and +1 to an ability score.

McWoD does not use the massive damage rules, instead the damage dice are applied as CON damage with a critical hit.
