Hmmm... I'm not sure that 3.5 beefed up PrCs. In fact I'm sure that every PrC which went from a 3.0 splat to the DMG was reduced in power. Same for a lot in CW.
Anyway, It would be good for WotC to 3.5ise the BoVD, but I think the spells can pretty much stay as is, and the monsters we can do ourselves. Next week (unless someone beats me too it) I'll start a conversion thread to 3.5ise the BoVD monsters. I've done a demon 3.0 to 3.5 conversion before so I reckon I can do these...

I think that 3.5e has obviated many of the spells in the BoVD:
- No Light: breaks the Darkness mechanic
- Angry Ache: hey, look, it's Doom!
- Heartache = Lesser Confusion
- Sap Strength is obsolete, thanks to the Exhaustion and Fatigue spells
Some are still cool:
- Slow Consumption, Suspend Disease, Dance of Ruin, Spores of the Vrock, Darkbolt, Devil's Eye, Unliving Weapon, Vile Lance (yesss, my presssscious!), Damning Darkness, Psychic Poison, ...
I'd like to see the various claw spells updated based on the psionic claw powers, but since psionics are due for an update, maybe that can wait a month or two.

So I haven't started the updaye, and ehre's the reason why:
They really are more or less ok as is. I suspect that towards the end of 3.0 the WotC design team decided that fiends needed a HD boost. This is evidenced by the FF, BoVD and even as far abck as the MotP. As a result, all you really need to do to 3.5ise the fiends from BoVD is give them feats and skills along side their HD. That's not worth doing a thread over IMO.
