Message: <blockquote data-quote="Coroc" data-source="post: 8210022" data-attributes="member: 6895991">in ravenloft 2e you had those "dark gifts"A casting of an inversed or necromantic spell was enough to maybe grant you one, a killing of an innocent npc was a sure way. They came in 6 or so steps, turning you more and more into a monster, and had ugly side effects.i actually did a conversion of hyskosa hexad back in 2015 and played it 5e.using the suggested horror and madness checks, and some homebrew for the dark powers checks, which gave you these "gifts". I fear that many modern players would see a dark gifts only as some extra whoosh feat for their chars instead of the curse and punishment that they are intended to be.back in 2e at stage 6 you were turning into an npc, irreversible. 5e did not even have an UA on this topic.i personally do not view 5e as a good system for a ravenloft game. Players can shake of so many things far to easy.it is very tough to come up with convincing dark lord.solo mobs.back in 2e some of the dark lords only had a few hp. A lot of work is needed to convert these.</blockquote>
