Well, I am a martial arts instructor --> Monk stats

I study literature --> Sage levels

I am chaotic evil, live near a forest, listen to heavy music, wear a lot of black clothes, do fencing, swordfight and other kinds of *medieval* martial arts frequently AND I wanted to include at least one Ravenloft unique PrC in my stat block. --> Witch Hunter :wink:

Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I don't fully understand the question. By asking which domain would I want to live in, do you mean if I lived in the Demiplane all my life, or if I walked out the door tomorrow morning and found myself in the Land of Mists?

If it were the latter, I'd definitely pick Mordent. It would be the easies to adjust to, what with a DL that has practically no presence in the day-to-day running of the land, a benevolent ruler, and a relatively peaceful lifestyle. Sure, there are ghosts everywhere, but it makes life interesting, no?

But if I had grown up in Ravenloft, I would perhaps pick Kartakass. I'm a musically inclined person, so I would enjoy that lifestyle, and as a native I would know which places not to go to avoid the wolfweres.

*smirk*

They'd never let me anywhere near Kartakass--I couldn't carry a tune if it had a handle. In fact, my singing voice might be considered a pseudo-magical ability--one that would cause canines within 100' to howl along with me, while repelling all bards, wolfwere or otherwise, who would have to make a Fort save or move away from me at their maximum movement rate for at least 3 rounds. :wink: :P

On the other hand, if spoken word performances are in vogue, or if I'd be able to make a living as a writer of novels and plays, it might not be so bad... I've been told I do a pretty good Darth Vader impression just with my day-to-day speaking voice.

If I were to walk out my front door tomorrow and find myself in the demiplane, I'd probably be found somewhere in Lamordia. I prefer cold weather to hot weather (though I live in the wrong part of the world for that), and Adam and Mordenheim are too busy with their own personal quests of making each other miserable to bother me. That, and Mordenheim is probably the closest to making many of the modern conveniences on which I depend so much.

If I'd been born in the demiplane, maybe I'd be a Forfarian. My family is supposed to have some Irish and Scottish roots, mixed with some English and German--and there are a LOT of redheads in my family tree.

Of course, Forlorn being what it is, I'd probably have left a long time ago. :wink:

I'm totally joining the Kartakass Club. :wink: I love music and storytelling, and the people in Kartakass tend to be a genuinely happy and friendly lot. Of course, I wouldn't come near Skald for a million gold pieces . . . but living in a small village and making sure that the doors are firmly bolted at night doesn't sound like such a bad arrangement.

Lamordia wouldn't be too bad. Climate can't be any worse than Canada. But I'd probably go for Mordent as well. I long for the moors and fogs of my Scottish ancestors.

There's not a single donmain I can think of that I'd like to live in.

If pushed, I'd go for Lamordia or Mordent. If I could be a native and had some desire to be a peasant farmer, I'd go for Staunton Bluffs.

I think I could live in Dementlieu, visiting Lamordia the summer. You know, technology, not much of religion, speaking french. It doesn't sound that bad...

But I wouldn't like Lamordia the way it is IMC (skaven infested!)

I'd go for Staunton Bluffs too, it's the easiest option. Of course, I'd like to try my hand at Richmulot. I want to see if I really do have the gift of the gab that my friends claim I do.

If I could live in any single domain, it would have to be Invidia, just so I could try to seduce Gabby *drools*

Hmm...about as certain a way to die as telling Drakov he couldn't even lead the conquest of a sandbox, but likely a much more enjoyable one. Nice choice.

Valachan, and i'd get me some big dogs (mastiffs). They'd piss everywhere and keep the cats away.
beware the moon, and stay off the moors.
