[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 6853056, member: 9789"] So far I've found what I would call 3 "errors" in the book, although they're open to interpretation. Certainly it's NOTHING like the poor 3.5 Ravenloft book, which was FULL of straight up errors - scores and scores - including typos and bad stat blocks along with all the other stuff that made no sense, AND was published without an ending. - There's no mention of the 3rd wizard eye's current location (open to the DM) - The milestones mention "gain a level each time X happens" but if you follow that to the letter the party will be level 15+ before you even get to the castle, unless they skip big chunks - In the section about Doru, it implies that you can kill him and raise him from the dead. But Doru's been a vampire spawn for about a year, and the resurrection spells are a little confusing about how they work with undead creatures. At the very least, Raise Dead is not going to work under most interpretations of the spell; only Resurrection and that's a 7th level spell - something the party can't possibly have access to when they meet him, or probably at all during their entire stay. Also, depending on how strict you want to be, vampire spawn are "destroyed" when you kill them (at least when you stake them) - meaning you'd actually need a True Resurrection (9th level) to bring him back.
