[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 4721400, member: 11697"] Vecna was already a god by that point however, albeit "only" a demigod. Secondly, none of the things that change between 3e and 2e actually resemble the list of changes that can happen at the end of Die Vecna Die. Vecna rising a bit in divine status is the only thing can might remotely be linked in, but even so that's a bit of a stretch. That said, DVD has little redeeming value as a module, as it butchers the atmosphere and core assumptions not only of Ravenloft, but a good bit of Vecna's backhistory, and Planescape. Not only does the module attempt to define 'The Serpent' (something previously intended to be simply a combination of Vecna's madness and his own personfication of magic) as an evil super being, but it attempts to define the power and nature of The Lady of Pain, something which was anathema to the Planescape setting. And let's not get into the Vecna body parts misc. that show up in the module, like the Fingernail of Vecna, the Scalp of Vecna, etc. It gets a tad absurd. Suffice to say, I do not think highly of the module. Probably a C+ grade all things considered(the interior details of Citadel Cavitius aren't bad, and I used them in my own campaign). [/QUOTE]
