Place to ask questions about BoVD

[Crothian]

Thanks Ray! You've been a big help. If I could get listing of the feats from the book, I'd LOVE to see them!

The feats are not impressive. I just got the book today and I'm slowly going through it. I just read the feats chapter and many of them were less then stellar.

Good to hear that; when Crothian dislikes something, I usually love it.

Seriously, though, care to give a few examples?

Well thanks for informing me then Crothy.

What DID You like about the book, at least so far?

 

[Redleg06]

Are there Drow in Vile Darkness?

Why would the drow be in the BoVD? They are in the MM.

Actually, it's a good book over all. Feats are so far the weakest section. Some examples:

Boost Spell Resistance (self explanatory)
Deformity (X): Have a certain defoprmity and gain bonusesSacrificail Mastery: Gain a +4 bonus to sacrifical rolls

There are only about 2 dozen new feats.

I'm still trying to figure which Pr-classes have the most SL flavor. Course I also like to see what Ravenloft has to offer with THEIR book of Darkness.

I think many of them can fit rather well, you would just need to change the names of some. Like the Disciple of Baalzebul; it is basically a class for someone alligned with a demon who is a liar, cheat, and a thief. So, you'd just need to figure out whicj of the SL people this fits and assign it to them.

Right well I think I may just use Ur-priest, mainly as a way to help the titanspawn races. Also Mortal hunter and maybe Lifedrinker.

The Demon/Devil servants, I'll probably keep as is. Mainly since they'd make for good cult leaders.

The Cancer Mage, while gross, should be useible without modifications. The Demonologist and Diabolist are also easy to use in any setting. The Soul Eater I think fits scarred lands very well with its dark tone and nasty abilities. Ur Priest you know about, Vewrminlord is pretty self explainatory and easy to use. Lastly we have the Warror of Darkness, a generic evil warrior who type guy. Those are all the prestige classes not named after an arch devil or demon lord.
