Errata
- Clerics and Anchorites turn undead at the same level of ability. Including the Undead Turning table twice was an oversight.
- Hazlik's ability to close his domain has been omitted. Hazlik can close the borders by raising an impenetrable wall of fire, but he must replenish it every hour, so it usually doesn't last long.
- p277 - Gabrielle Aderre is referred to as Lord of [[Borca[[, when she is of course Lord of Invidia.
- Nidala and Saragoss (from Islands of Terror) have become Nidalia and Saragossa in DoD, while Mount Baratok (Barovia) is renamed Mount Baratak.
