Re: Jester's Review of Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft

There are those of you that are cool with VRGtR, and there are those of you who are not cool with VRGtR. To those who are cool with it, try selling the community here ideas from or inspired by the book. Stop selling Wizards and their...jazz. If the focus remains on them and not their offering, then ...

Re: Jester's Review of Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft

Jester: Sounds to me like you're now travelling a bit in the woods. It happens to all of us man. Just look down from time to time and you might see our tread. It's just a fork in the road (easy for me to say to you now, but I carry my own roadside tales). You can only get so wet. No use dodging pudd...

Re: Jester's Review of Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft

From the review... But this book goes a step farther referring to Ez “replacing her leg with a splendid prosthetic after a werewolf attack.” Emphasis added. Wizards of the Coast really, really want readers to know they’re sorry for even accidentally implying people should be ashamed for having an a...

Re: It is back!!! What we do know about VR Guide to Ravenlof

That's a 7th-level spell and requires a level 13 cleric. How many of them are in Ravenloft? It's interesting that Madam Eva (according to Curse of Strahd) has it in her spell list. Also Viktra Mordenheim is described as being able to heal or replace any body part, so she's another option :wink: Ver...

Re: It is back!!! What we do know about VR Guide to Ravenlof

Obviously lesser restoration doesn't teleport a character out of a purple worm. That's a douchebag example you just dropped man. Haha It's a stretch, which is why it's such a great example. The bite of the purple worm says: A swallowed creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against ...

Re: It is back!!! What we do know about VR Guide to Ravenlof

Yeah, I was just going through different editions and physical injury isn't covered, but it is. 2E Cure Blindness no, 3E Remove Blindness yes. Either way, apples and oranges...

Re: It is back!!! What we do know about VR Guide to Ravenlof

Well, if you rule that lesser restoration can remove permanent blindness, then that means it restores sight by way of healing whatever damage caused the blindness. Same should then be true of the paralyzed condition. It makes sense, though I find it super ironic that by that logic Lesser Restoratio...

Re: It is back!!! What we do know about VR Guide to Ravenlof

The paralyzed effect of a spinal injury feels like physical effect not healed by lesser restoration . Like you wouldn't regrow eyes that were removed just because it removes blindness.

Re: It is back!!! What we do know about VR Guide to Ravenlof

A regenerate spell would absolutely be an option and should remove that spinal damage, as it regrows severed members and reattaches held ones. A spine would arguably count. That's a 7th-level spell and requires a level 13 cleric. How many of them are in Ravenloft? There's Himmelsk Naeve Pieter Jerg...

Re: It is back!!! What we do know about VR Guide to Ravenlof

It's not Alanik's fall, injury, or him being bound to a wheelchair that rubs me the wrong way. It's his choice to remain in the wheelchair. It's illogical, given that Wizard's standard (print) version of Dungeons and Dragons has plenty of ways to heal such an injury. So, assuming they continue with...

Moderator This is a potentially heated topic. You yourself said "If you'll allow me to walk the ditch here for a bit..." If you think someone is being unfair to you, report the post and let moderators handle it. Please don't escalate. Jester, I can and will defend myself. Thank you all th...
