Do you have to be cursed by the gods or something? Sounds to me like they just weren't able to come up with a good replacement for the problematic 3.5 lycanthrope template (actually, come to think of it, most 3.5 templates were problematic due to the accompanying power spike).This is really hard to believe. I don't even like that picture! Are they honestly going to tell us that they couldn't be bothered to commission someone to do a new illustration of the vampire? Or do you mean that there's a new illustration but it shows the same spiked chain-wielding vampire?Does it actually list the ritual in detail or does it just mention that there is one in the same way that the 3.5 MM mentioned that there was a ritual for turning someone into a lich without giving the specifics on how to do it? I find it interesting that they chose to put the details of his "cult" in the MM. I suppose it makes sense. That's really disappointing about the full page illustration. Is that the only one in the book or are there other full pagers? I don't mind them. In fact, that was one of the first things I noticed was lacking when I first got the 3.5 books. What I don't like is the repetition. If it's on the cover, I don't need it in the book too. Thanks just the same.Is there any actual organization to the gods this time or are they still just a sort of random assortment? This is one of the things I like about the Eberron religions. They've actually got some organization to them (and I really like how clerics can choose to worship a whole pantheon of gods rather than just one). I'm attempting to do this for my own 4e homebrew campaign, partly because I'm just sick of Pelor, Moradin, Bahamut, Lolth, and the rest, but also because I'm sick of the "random assortment of deities" schtick. I am keeping the Raven Queen, though, cos she's <s>cool</s> sweet as!Also, did you happen to see if the Primordials are detailed anywhere? Have they got names? Stats? Etc. The reason I'm asking is because I want my campaign to be based around the idea that the deities are all about law and order while the demon princes and primordials are all about chaos. So if you want to be an evil and/or insane cultist, you don't worship a deity. You worship a demon prince or a primordial or something instead.Sounds ok to me. I don't know what the problem some people have with this is.Disappointing but, if I'm not mistaken, there's another one in KotS (unless it's one of the four in the DMG). Oh well. It sounds like artifacts might actually be useable at sub-epic levels now, so that's a plus, and I'm sure there will be more of them, either in the Adventurer's Vault or the DMG2, if not both.</blockquote>
