Huh?Good News: WotC is putting a RAVENLOFT novel back into print this July.
Bad News: It's _Death of a Darklord_

I don't know why it's $14.95, although my guess would be it's being
rereleased in trade paperback format. I can _guess_ as to why they picked this
one--Laurell K. Hamilton has become a big name in recent years.

There are other RL novels which are certainly worthy of a reprint (The Strahd books, Vampire of the Mists, Ravenloft Tales etc.) I couldn't help but notice that there is actually something more to the title: "The Ravenloft Covenant" which I don't remember being in the old book. Could it be a sequel, or something else entirely? Could it mean that WotC forced Sword and Sorcery to discontinue the line so that WotC themselves would once more take the reins? 
Me too, but I had the benefit from reading it in the 3rd Ed era, when the girl's powers could be ascribed to sorcery.Stygian Inquirer wrote:What is the "Ravenloft Covenant" thing?
Also, the original was only 313 pages not 320 therefore, it might be a new book or revised from the older one.
I liked DoaDl, personally.

In 3rd Edition, sorcerers can add pretty any spell to their spell list if they have been exposed to it or have given it study, including spells from other classes. This is not very common though. A sorcerer could learn Cure Light Wounds from a Bard or Cleric through study for example.gonzoron wrote:Since when is healing on the sorceror spell list?Drinnik Shoehorn wrote:Me too, but I had the benefit from reading it in the 3rd Ed era, when the girl's powers could be ascribed to sorcery.
The girl's powers were the lease of my troubles with the novel. I've blocked most of the rest out....

Where did you read that! The sorcerer has specifically a Sorcerer Spell List that it shares with the wizard. It doesn't get to pick and choose from any spell out there. These new spells can be common spells chosen from the sorcerer/wizard spell list (page 192), or they can be unusual spells that the sorcerer has gained some understanding of from study.
