Ravenloft Is Here...
Many of those who ordered copies of the Limited Edition of Ravenloft d20 have received them (the image to the right is not the Limited Edition, incidentally - but the Limited Edition is pretty much all black and doesn't show up too well on a black backround). I will post information as I get it. So far, I have managed to obtain the following scoops, mainly gleaned from various messageboards:
Overall, the book is more of a player's guide than a DM's book - for example, the stats for the Darklords are not included.
No new classes or prestige classes (although some classes are altered slightly). Races are pretty much standard with the addition of Half-Vistani and the replacement of Half-Orcs with Calibans.
Domains:
The Core: Barovia, Borca, Darkon, Dementlieu, Falkovnia, Forlorn, Hazlan, Invidia, Kartakass, Keening, Lamordia, Markovia, Mordent, Necropolis, The Nocturnal Sea, Nova Vaasa, Richemulot, The Sea of Sorrows, The Shadow Rift, Sithicus, Tepest, Valachan, Vechor, Verbrek.
The Clusters: the Amber Wastes (Har'Akir, Sebua, Pharazia), the Frozen Reaches (Sanguinia, Vorostokov), the Shadowlands (Avonleigh, Nidalia, Shadowborn Manor), the Verdurous Lands (Saragoss, Sri Raji, the Wildlands), Zherisia (Paridon, Timor).
The Islands: Bluetspur, G'henna, Odiare, Rokushima Taiyoo, Souragne.
Missing: Aggarath, al-Kathos, Blaustein, Bleak House, Castle Island, the Burning Peaks (obviously), Daglan, Davion, Demise, Dominia, Donskoy, Estrangia, Ghastria, House of Lament, I'Cath, Isle of Ravens, Kalidnay, Kislova, Leederick, Liffe, L'ile de la Tempete, l'Morai, the Nightmare Lands, Nosos, Risibilos, Scaena, Staunton Bluffs, Thornewood, the Winding Road.
Maps: There are two large black & white maps of the core domains and the seas on the inside-front and inside-back cover of the book. One is a political map - and the other a geographical map. There are more detailed maps for the seas, islands and clusters inside.
Rules for firearms.
New Ravenloft skills and feats.
A section on the most important faiths of the core, languages, altered spells and other things.
Rules for curses and power checks. Fear/horror/madness checks are apparently the same as in the netbook. The stages of descent for dark power checks are shorter than in previous versions.
A 35-page chapter devoted to special powers for vampires, lycanthropes, fiends, hags, the ancient dead etc.
You can view some art that was cut from the book at Secrets of the Kargatane.
