5.0 out of 5 stars A Fine Addition to the 'Ravenloft' Campaign, October 20, 2000

This review is from: Champions of the Mists (AD&D Fantasy Roleplaying, Ravenloft Setting) (Paperback)

This supplement to the Ravenloft campaign contains new character kits and game statistics for famous characters from the Ravenloft novels and the campaign book Domains of Dread.

Character kits include temporary conditions kits (a lot can happen to you out on the Demiplane of Dread) and adventuring kits for adoption by both existing and newly created characters. The kits consist of the following: Accursed, Cold One (a horrid aftermath of an undead encounter), Eremite (a wizard kit in which spells are brewed, not spoken), Fugitive, Ghostwatcher, the Green Hand (for priests of Osiris), Invisible (a rogue kit for agents of a secret order), Knight of the Shadows (a Ravenloft avenger class kit), Monster Hunter, Order of the Guardians (a monastic priest kit), Pistoleer, Psychic, Redeemed (for the once-evil character), and Spiritualist (a wizard kit).

Ravenloft heroes provided in this book illustrate some of the above character kits, and are of various good and neutral alignments; the author gives notes or "adventure hooks" on how to use each hero to create adventures, or just trouble, in your own campaign. The heroes are Brother Dominic, Ivan Dragonov the monster hunter, Gondegal (formerly the conqueror of Arabel in the Forgotten Realms campaign, now trapped in Ravenloft), Hermos the man-giant, Tara Kolyana the anchorite, the married spiritualists Hilda and Friedrich Kreutzer, Alanik Ray (Ravenloft's answer to Sherlock Holmes), the druid and dancer Larissa Snowmane, and the bitter, obsessed George Weathermay.

A fine addition to the Ravenloft campaign.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good sourcebook. One of the best, January 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Champions of the Mists (AD&D Fantasy Roleplaying, Ravenloft Setting) (Paperback)

This is a great book for Ravenloft Dungeon Masters. It has lots of important NPCs and it also presents major changes on some well known characters. It also presents some new Character Kits. Very good acessory for a complete Ravenloft campaing. Be prepared to meet some of the most fierce fighting man and women that walk through the Land of Mists
