Woah! After seeing the new art, I'm inclined to call this "Classic Covers Revisited". Well played :).

He looks a bit like Strahad(sp) from Ravenloft.... of course that might be on purpose.... or cause he looked like classic Dracula in the first place.

I think it's a tribute to classic pictures of *both* Strahd and Dracula. :)

yeah...uh...ok...I meant about there being a limited edition with a foil cover...not the vampire who thought this spell combo was a good idea: permanency and glitter

yoda8myhead (Pathfinder Chronicles Charter Superscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber), Wed, Oct 28, 2009, 06:44 PM

Well, a foil cover would sorta be glittery, right?

I love how Pathfinder Bestiary makes vampire spawn a variant wight with a few extra abilities rather than wasting a whole stat block on the things when they were always variant wights anyway.

I do hope that Classic Horrors Revisited will go into more details about the creation of Vampire Spawn and why and when a vampire might elect to make someone into a vampire spawn rather than a full-fledged vampire.

In 3.5e it wasn't really a vampire's choice, it was automatically determined by the means of attack and the HD of the victim, so I'd like to see more information that supports the change. (You could of course say the vampire still had the choice of means of attack in 3.5e.)

Pathfinder Reference Document wrote:

Vampire Spawn

A vampire can elect to create a vampire spawn instead of a full-fledged vampire when she uses her create spawn ability on a humanoid creature only. This decision must be made as a free action whenever a vampire slays an appropriate creature by using blood drain or energy drain. A vampire spawn's statistics are identical to those of a wight, save for the following changes.

* It gains the blood drain and dominate vampire special attacks.
* It gains channel resistance +2, DR 5/silver, resist cold and energy 10, fast healing 2, and the vampire qualities listed above (gaseous form, shadowless, and spider climb).
* A vampire spawn gains all of the standard vampire weaknesses.
* A vampire spawn is CR 4.

I've just been reading some more in Dungeon Denizens Revisited recently and I really love the Revisited series.

That's only if they have Bend the Land ability.

Disappointed to see it is January too. Wasn't it originally November or am I going crazy?

It was indeed originally November. Pretty much ALL of our non-rulebook books slipped a month or two due to us having to shift gears for a month or two to deal with rulebooks.

I'm disappointed because I really want this one as soon as possible, but given that you've got the choice of Fast or Good, I'll take Good and be glad that Paizo's got more pride in its products than some companies and takes the time necessary to do the job right instead of shoving stuff out the door before it's ready.

On the subject of mummies something that may prove interesting for an additional real world read is National Geographic's November or December 09 (don't remember which as I don't have a copy in front of me at the moment) article on animal and meat mummies. Apparently the ancient Egyptians mummified a lot of different things - meat as a meal for the deceased while waiting to get to the afterlife; and a variety of animals including one that caused my eyes to bug a little bit when I saw it -elephants. That would be a HELL of a lot of natron to fully dessicate an elephant. Also everything from scarabs and lizards to lions and crocodiles.

Matthew Morris (RPG Superstar 2009 Top 32), Fri, Nov 13, 2009, 07:06 AM

I was about to ask about why it's not in my november bundle, but you answered. ;-)

The mummy thing sounds cool, and sounds like things like mummy dragons are more 'reasonable'

So according to the Product Schedule, the release date for this has been moved up to December? Man I hope that's the case. I'd love to get my hands on this thing ASAP.

Paul Ryan (Paizo Charter Superscriber), Sat, Nov 14, 2009, 06:38 PM

It started in November, slipped to December, then apparently slipped again to January, and now it's back to December. I'm glad of that.

Maybe someone tied a bungee cord to it when they pushed the release back and we got lucky with the rebound.

This is a good example of why it's so hard to predict ship dates when you print overseas. Until the finished products arrive in our warehouse, we can only guess.

The fact that you do your best to give us your guess and keep it updated as your estimates change is greatly appreciated.

Eric Hinkle, Yesterday, 08:20 AM

I like the brief descriptions you give the sample characters. Pity it had to be pushed back to January though. I'll be going to something called 'Further Confusion' in January and was hoping to take this book in particular along to see if I could turn anyone on to Paizo/Pathfinder; I've already made a few converts.

But as others have said, better 'late and good' than 'fast and bad'.

I think there's a few of us around. Now we have to start a thread so we can make our insanely overpowered 'furry' races because Paizo is unfairly ignoring us*. XD

Heh, I started an 'alt lifestyle'-ish thread wherein I mentioned that I was a Furry. Of all the things I am that don't bother people, Furry seems to rub people's fur the wrong way. (ba-dum-dish)

Yeah, I think that I'll be starting a furry thread sometime just to see how many of us there are.

Maybe I'll run into you at FC, though I've completely missed it the last few years because of one reason or another.
