Errata

  • Pg. 116 Spectral Hand: change “per level” to “per caster level”>. (Errata)
  • Pg. 109 The spell Animate Dead - they just copied the text from the 3.0 setting book (“When clerics cast this spell in Ravenloft, however, this rises to twice their caster level in HD”). But in 3.5 edition Animate Dead has changed: it already animates twice HD as character level. DM’s prerogative: either remove it, or double it again in Ravenloft. (Error spotted by fan, no errata yet)

  • Pg.202 ‘rank five’ second paragraph: change “living beings” to “living or undead beings”. (Errata)
  • Pg.210 Magic Mimicry: change sentences 4 and 5 to: “The lich does not need to know the spell, but it can mimic only those spells found on its own spell list. A lich who is an 11th-level wizard cannot mimic a cleric or druid’s spells, for example.”. (Errata)

  • Pg. 219 Regeneration (Ex) should read: “The dread golem gains Regeneration 5. Two relatively common varieties of damage must be selected that deal normal damage to the golem. Dread flesh golems, for example, are frequently unable to regenerate fire or acid damage. As a construct, the dream golem remains immune to attacks that would normally inflict subdual damage. The dread golem cannot regrow lost body parts, but it can reattach severed body parts instantly by holding them against the stump.” (Errata)
