Message: <blockquote data-quote="Endzeitgeist" data-source="post: 5201841" data-attributes="member: 82318">This Pdf is 5 pages long. 1 page Cover, 1 page OGL, 1 page editorial, 2 pages creature, including AE-stats.The creature features a well-crafted lore-section, designer's notes and a wonderful artwork: Being kinda cute and disturbing at the same time, it captures the potential of the Ur-Kasti Deta perfectly. The monster itself is not much of a combatant (although it's hard enough to kill!) and primarily intended as a "Plot-creature". It succeeds at its role perfectly. Especially due to the fact, that the Ur-Kasti Deta actually may be benign to some and not (like I thought after the other reviews) inherently evil. The question of unwanted pregnancies and helping of barren parents have risen in my games more than once and may conjure interesting moral decisions. I agree with the other 2 reviews in so much, as it takes both mature players and a mature DM for this monster to work. If it does, be it as a villainous creature or a benign entity or something in-between or both, it is almost guaranteed to result in some memorable sessions.For me as a fan of Ravenloft and similar dark settings, it is plain awesome.I'd give it 5 Stars, but unfortunately, there is no advanced, second creature (like e.g. in "Hero's Bastard") and not as much fluff-text as in "Hero's Bastard". The prose that is there, is top quality, though.Conclusion: This creature is gold for mature campaigns and works well as both villain and ally and can spawn a multitude of potential adventures. What if the Ur-Kasti Deta had a hidden agenda, frenetically and subtly exchanging children according to some greater plan? Dun-Dun-Duuuunh!</blockquote>
