The Immortal: Vampires
Version 2.0
By Ben Mowbray
For thousands of years the legend of the vampire has enthrawled and instilled
fear in the hearts of men. The earliest legends span back perhaps as far as
ancient Egypt, and arose independently in nearly every culture on Earth, from
Africa to Europe, to Asia, the Americas and even Australia.
The Immortal: Vampires is a three-in-one rulebook, monster book and sourcebook
for the d20 System. Now in its version 2.0 revision, the book is jam packed with
even more vampire goodies than before!
Dissatisfied with the generic vampire of the core rules? Too powerful? Too weak?
Just not your idea of a vampire? The Immortal: Vampires puts a much needed
spin on the classic bloodsucking monster, drawing from mythology and folklore
around the world, and both classic and modern popular fiction. If the Immortal:
Vampires doesn't have what you're looking for in a vampire, it certainly has the
tools for you to create it yourself: Just about everyone has their idea of what
a vampire should be, and knowing this, this book also includes a guideline to
creating your own custom vampire templates.

Reviews (90.5% average)
* This review's dislikes determined the reason why this review did not get a full 5/5 and read as follows:
DISLIKED: Some errors in mechanics and design were noticeable in the new monsters section. Likewise, the printer-friendly version kept all of the interior artwork. These are the only things that kept me from giving this book 5/5 stars.
The items mentioned have already been corrected. The mechanical errors have been fixed and a image-free printer friendly version has been made available.
** These reviews were all made with the original version of the book and not version 2.0. The new version sports a number of improvements and additional content over the original (including 35% extra pages of bonus material), rendering these reviews out of date but still of some use because the content in them is still included.
