Il manuale è una vera e propria guida per implementare nelle sessioni tematiche horror. Il manuale risulta molto più funzionale per il GM, ma esistono elementi ed opzioni anche per PG quali varianti di classe, talenti, incantesimi ed oggetti magici. Le nuove meccaniche horror sono molteplici. Per esempio il sistema delle corruzioni; un personaggio viene maledetto dal potere corruttivo del male (vi sono ben 11 tipi di corruzioni), che possono sì donare poteri e capacità ma anche malus e penalità... e, a lungo andare, si rischia di perdere il pg perché alla fine muore o si trasforma in un mostro malvagio. Un'altra meccanica riguarda i "signori del terrore" e i "domini del male", che praticamente si rifanno alle meccaniche di Ravenloft. Il manuale è utilissimo per chi, come me, è appassionato dall'horror. Consigliato soprattutto per l'AP "Morte Sovrana", con wuesto manuale troverete centinaia di idee per rendere la campagna più intrigante ed inquietante per i giocatori!

Excellent book. A lot of good material both for players and DMs. Some of the corruptions have slight balance issues that could be exploited (such as an undead player taking the lich corruption whose only penalty is to the constitution score). However, these issues can be handled by reasonable DMs. Some of the mechanics are less flexible than one would like. For example, the alchemist "Mad Scientist" archetype could probably be simply done as a pair of discoveries which would allow more flexibility. Since the archetype only replaces discoveries at two specific levels and it only gives abilities, it would make more sense to have it be a pair of discoveries with the second being a prereq for the first. (This sort of issue is not unique to this and shows up in other official Pathfinder material.) Again, reasonable DMing can probably help deal with this. There are a lot of fun new spells and rituals both for DMs and players. DMs will need to think carefully about letting the PCs have access to some of these. The magic items are well done and do a good job of doing interesting things and some of them provide risks in thematic ways. The artifacts are also well done. A Lovecrat purist might disagree with their making the "Elder Sign" an artifact itself rather than a symbol but this isn't a big deal. One of the artifacts (the cup) is more easily abused than I think the writers intended but adding a rule that beings cannot drink unwillingly from it would probably handle that. The flavor of the material is decent if not incredibly creative (although the corruption mechanics for specific types of corruption is very original and seems well done). The book does provide some decent mechanics for things one might want, and like almost all the Pathfinder books is very well edited. The book also gives good advice for DMs and players about running horror games, some of which could apply to other games as well. They also have at the end of the book a list of media they have gotten inspiration from, broken down very carefully into subgenres, and that has already given me some new fun reading. Compared to the similar 3.5, "Heroes of Horror" this is in many ways better. Although it doesn't include new base classes (and doesn't really need to), there's more overall material. The only exception is no new monsters, but made up for with new templates (including one that is clearly designed to make one mechanically do domain lords from Ravenloft without saying so explicitly). There's a lot of spells, a lot of items, a lot of archetypes, rituals, alternate rule systems.
