Super Villian Level 10 - Vampire

This guy was tough to do. Strahd is a tough villain and very competitive AI, but Level 5 guys need a little umph! So I bring you the Level 10 Vampire. I wanted to capture his original AI into his base attacks,Mist, Fireball and Bite. I drew from the original AD&D Ravenloft for his special attacks, including Summon Undead, Steely Gaze, Globe of Darkness. The sword attacks I created cause his sculpt and cover art show him with a sword.

Il documento il lingua italiana spiega tutte le caratteristiche dei mostri presenti in Castle Ravenloft, indicando per ogni mostro le caratteristiche base (come l'armatura, il tipo di attacco, il danno, ecc...), una immagine del mostro (presa dalle miniature) e la descrizione del mostro. Tale file è necessario per coinvolgere maggiormente i giocatori all'interno dell'ambientazione di Caste Ravenloft.
