However, what hints we get about his background suggest they've altered his darklord origin (sounds like some kind of evil magical experiments, and not the sadistic murder of his rivals, is what got him into Ravenloft). So I guess that would be one way to solve it.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hazlik's curse has changed as well - instead of being plagued by nightmares of inferiority, he can no longer learn new magic. That curse might sound a smidge familiar to veteran Ravenloft fans...</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">One new cool ability - he can see through any symbol that resembles the tattoos on his body.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Once again I get the vague impression that Wes Schneider didn't really think a lot of the old Ravenloft.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">They ask about how many of the folks in Ravenloft are real, and not just creations of the Dark Powers, but Schneider says it's basically up to the DM. Hopefully that alleviates some folks' concerns about the retcon in Curse of Strahd.</li> </ul></blockquote>
