Fallen Paladin looking to redeem themselves? Wild Magic Sorcerer running from some disaster? Druid driven from their forest home by some evil blight? Get creative, the more detail the better. Your choice of Class could (and should) also play into this story. Perhaps they are lost or have been abandoned by someone or something important to them, and are attempting to regain it. Maybe they are broken in someway, whether mentally, emotionally, or physically, and seek healing or redemption. They don’t necessarily need to be “dark and edgy,” but they should have some great desire informed by past mistakes, losses, or failures. Either way, due to the nature of this campaign, we will be paying pretty close attention to inventories and tracking resources.īackstory: When building your backstory, try to develop hidden tragedies, impossible goals, and/or regrets into your character's past. If rolling for stats, all players must choose to roll.Įquipment: You may choose starting equipment or starting gold. Stats: Any of the three "official" methods, Standard Array, Point Buy, or rolling 4d6 drop the lowest, are allowed. All other published backgrounds are also available. Races: Any official WoTC published material is acceptable.Ĭlasses: Again, all published material is up for grabs.īackgrounds: There is a new background featured in this campaign module, The Haunted One. That being said, any serious horror story needs room for humor and I'm sure there will be plenty of it. This campaign will be serious, dark, and deal with themes of physical, mental, and emotional abuse. Where will be up to you, and can be a part of your backstory (see below). Each will start as a level 1 adventurer somewhere on the Sword Coast in the Forgotten Realms setting. The PC's should end the story at level 13-15, depending on how much they choose to take on in the world. This will be an extended and slightly revamped version of Curse of Strahd. The master of Ravenloft is having guests for dinner. Only the howling of the wind-or perhaps a lone wolf-fills the midnight air. He, the master of Ravenloft, will attend to them.Īnother lightning flash rips through the darkness, its thunder echoing through the castle is towers. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they have come all according to his plan. Strahd’s face forms a twisted smile as his dark plan unfolds. Far below, yet not beyond his ken, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. The winds howling increases as Strahd turns his gaze back to the village. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. His once handsome face is contorted by a tragedy darker than the night itself. Strahd turns to the sky, revealing the angular muscles of his face and hands. Lightning splits the clouds overhead, casting stark white light across him. A cold, bitter wind spins dead leaves about him, billowing his cape in the darkness.
The vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stares down a sheer cliff at the village below. Under raging storm clouds, a lone figure stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft.
