A dandy who is more than they seem\u2026 nothing new, a dandy who is not what they seem who makes clothes that feel the maker\u2019s blood hunger if blood is spilled on them or while wearing them, now that is dandy. But Vhulgus Sangrevorro is more than just a blood drinking haberdasher, he is a well traveled prankster who remains ready for anything and will do everything in his power to avoid combat.<\/p>\n

CONTENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

This 25 page supplement has 20 pages of content that includes Vhulgus Sangrevorro, the Endless Dandy\u00a0 at CR 19, 13 and 7, variants of Vhulgus Sangrevorro, the Endless Dandy at each of those CRs. This supplement introduces bloodthirsty raiment<\/em>, a spell for those who drink blood, several magic items and descriptions of their powers.<\/p>\n

OVERALL<\/strong><\/p>\n

This product is Rite on target. The folks over at Rite Publishing have listened to the people and have honed their latest products from the Tales of the Tarnished Souk into very sharp and deadly products that won\u2019t kill a GM to use. Some of the aspects of Vhulgus Sangrevorro, the Endless Dandy<\/em> are predictable, but of most of the information about this blood sucking trickster is fresh, not scabbed over.<\/p>\n

RATINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Publication Quality<\/em>: 10 out of 10
\nRite Publishing has tweaked their format just enough to put them on par with the bigger companies that can afford to throw money at a project until it is tops. These guys have done it by listening to their customers and working smartly. The format is standard and will not surprise anyone familiar with RPGS. The cover art by Nicholas Cloister, while not originally created for this character, fits well. Not perfect, but really well. The interior is minimal, but in good taste. Rather than pushing a bad angle, the folks over at Rite Publishing have finally chosen to minimize what I have long considered their weakest area: artwork. It isn\u2019t that they always choose bad art work, it is more that some of their choices of stock art are disjointed from the rest of the product. Well done Rite Publishing, you are proof that a willingness to listen to your customers can take you a long way.<\/p>\n

Mechanics<\/em>: \u00a010 out of 10
\nThis is another aspect of Rite Publishing\u2019s products that are becoming a given. I will say that because their concept for this character and his special abilities are so unorthodox, they had to create several very specific magic items. I applaud their willingness to do this rather than trying to trash the rules just to suit their needs for a single product.<\/p>\n

Value Add<\/em>: 10 out of 10
\nWith a few name changes, several of the magic items and the bloodthirsty raiment<\/em> spell is really devious and I can see it being used my many a clever GM in many, many settings. If you use the picture of Vhulgus Sangrevorro, the Endless Dandy on the cover of this product, then sans an extra planar setting or a high magic setting he might stick out much more than you normal monstrous humanoid.<\/p>\n

Overall<\/em>: 10 out of 10
\nThis is a great example of what gaming companies can do with creative, open minded staff. Rite Publishing is using their resources in what I believe to be the best way possible. The concept behind Vhulgus Sangrevorro, the Endless Dandy<\/em> is really innovative and while I\u2019m not a fan of the eternal template, it is used really well in this case. Vhulgus Sangrevorro, the Endless Dandy<\/em> is bloody brilliant!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
