Vlad the Impaler: Blood Prince of Wallachia - AtFantasy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | This stuff is great and ranges from the necessary folklore (Wallachians believed dogs warded off evil while cats consorted with it, a belief still held today by dog-lovers) to what people wore, the rights of women and gypsies, and what the hierarchy of power was in Wallachia. |
 | | It’s difficult for us here and now to identify with the world of 1450s Wallachia, but Bennighof and Phythyon do a good job of helping us to understand what was so strange and significant about Vlad’s rule. |
 | | The rules about grievous bodily harm resulting from gunshot wounds, as well as the ensuing mechanics, such as amputation and the spread of gangrene, are the same as they were in BF, and a few feats are reprinted from there as well. |
