Café de Nuit

The wizard had put a small boy in Vallaki in charge of digging the graves of Leo's attack and gave him the Shovel of Gravedigging. About 2 graves later the boy had a grave elemental following him around, then another. The party left the boy with the shovel and is now having a terrible time in the cr...

So last week in our 12th level Expedition to Castle Ravenloft game I had a interesting turn of events and now I am trying to figure out what I would do. If anyone knows here I am running EtCR with Ravenloft rules and adjusting things to canon or to as much as can be. Like Madame Eva, I am thinking t...

Thats a good idea. Leaves canon intact and adds intrigue. Always good. That has been a problem of mine too. Just thinking about her as a hag makes me laugh. Although in game it was quite humorous. She dropped her disguise and said while casting greater command. "Isn't it a nice night for a swim...

There were many times being a player when we (players) would hand out DM experience when he did something that was truely amazing with either story and interesting outcome. I think our old DM was about 15th level. I as a Dm rarely use anything as printed. I usually mod something change story and suc...

I have read through this and it seems to me that this could be a super easy island of terror in Ravenloft. The actually method of getting Iggwiliv there is something I am still pondering but: While attempting to fix the planar rip she could have found out somehow about Ravenloft (since its a roach m...

I have been reading through it and I must say its a neat twist. Alot has been streamlined and is d20 familiar. Like feats, skills. They pretty much break all the vampire 'races' They are all on a generalized path of disciple next level some saves next level discipline. Seems some got morphed into ot...

Could link the ToUD and the Guide to Hells great serpents. Since Lady of Pain is involved as a greater power.

But doesnt breaking Ravenloft mean the death of the begining? Strahd is the cotterpin isnt he?

I am off to contemplate this. Breaking.

Hes still a rough draft .

Damn i need to increase my etools wrangling skill.

Still might retool his levels as well.

I still have some skill rounding on him to do like add skills like dancing, and aristocrat things. Some skills will shift. If you have a idea , feel free to say something. His full strength is similar just add back his ancient vamp stats. Leo has been imprisoned inside of his coffin since he was mad...

Oh now your making me think. Strahd probably did level a few times since then. Another thing with Strahd I always redo his age to Patriarch. As in Gaz1 Strahd is a 4 Ftr/16 wiz(necromancer) I would bet Strahd was over 10th level wiz(12) by then which seems plausible when thinking about my Leo build....

Reread some key stuff from I, Strahd and picked up some more. My take is that since I, Strahd is penned by Strahd himself he will usually portray himself in a better light. And in regards to Leo, he finds out that Lovinia may be aligned with Leo even in being a dupe but none the less he finds out. S...

Leo Dilisnya (Full Strength) Male Human Ari7/Rog 2/Wiz10 Medium Undead (Ancient Vampire) Feats: Alertness, Armor Proficiency: heavy, Armor Proficiency: light, Armor Proficiency: medium, Combat Reflexes, Dodge, Find Weakness, Greater Spell Focus: Necromancy, Greater Spell Penetration, Hollow, Improve...

So did anything happen with this Raph?

I am working on the Monastery and Leo as well. Just wondering.

Im inclined to believe that Strahd intentionally misled readers of his book as well. Which could account for why it seems to be all over. LOL

Doing a rough draft of Leo atm taking into account things that I heard here and liked.

Will post sometime soon for critiques if you want.

I have been running EtCR for 5 sessions now and its good to see others doing it as well. Nice customizing of FG. We have a dinky 3hr game on wed we do with it and yours puts ours to shame. might be difference between lite and full versions dont know. So have you had anything strange happen so far in...
