Van Richten's Guide to the Walking Dead

Skeletal hands thrust from the earth to snare the unwary as the stench of the soulless, walking dead fills the night. Foul, unliving denizens crowd the graveyards and haunt the ruins of the lands within the Mists.

Continuing the tradition of Van Richten’s Guides to the creatures inhabiting the Dread Realms, Ravenlofts unliving denizens receive a thorough examination, including descriptions of special powers and vulnerabilities, the effectiveness of certain spells on them, and ways to neutralize, destroy or command them. New variations of creatures expand the possibilities for creating unusual and memorable encounters, and a section for DMs provides suggestions for running encounters and games that focus on the unfortunate creatures that were once living beings.
