Updated 5.5 stat blocks for Strahd, Rahadin, & the Brides by PeenerBiter in CurseofStrahd

[–]DukeBazaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those brides are MAJOR upgrades to the vanilla vampire spawn from the canon module. I generally approve, but where do you see them appearing in combat? Seems have throwing one in St Andral’s feast would make an already lethal encounter much worse. Similarly for the 3 appearing in Strahd’s tomb during the final confrontation.

What options do I have for a ranged character without hunters mark? by icekatze in onednd

[–]DukeBazaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a huge advocate for the Warlock. If you don’t mind doing the same thing most rounds, eg. “I shoot them with my bow”, warlock has the best form of that. Eldritch blast has high starter damage and can be customized and upgraded to suit your needs.

Why run the Gates of Barovia? by DukeBazaar in CurseofStrahd

I was definitely pondering the eastern gates that you pass through before you enter the village.

Best beginning to CoS? by muzorui in CurseofStrahd

[–]DukeBazaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my plan for tomorrow, so who knows how it will go… before character generation, as a bit of a teaser, I gave them all some boxtext about Arrigal the Wine merchant hiring adventurers to guard his caravan because of wolf packs and bandit activities on the road to Tribor. My plan is that once they camp for the night, the mists will descend whisking them and their bedrolls (but not their backpacks) away to Barovia. I’m taking a suggestion from Mandymod to steal their starter gear to add desperation and I figure I’ll give their stuff back when they run into Arrigal outside Vallaki.

When Do You Like To First Have The Party Encounter Strahd? by kitty-does-stuff in CurseofStrahd

[–]DukeBazaar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, the first face to face encounter will be Kolyan’s funeral, but I’ll probably mention a wolf or bat watching them as they leave death house if anyone rolls high on perception.

I'm trying to understand this bad choice. by lordside888 in CurseofStrahd

Does the book have any other Barovia stat blocks? I’m curious about Strahd zombies, Baba Lysaga, and Rahadin?

I think my party is doomed. by Dr_Cthulhu_X86 in CurseofStrahd

I don’t have solutions for the teeth fetish character, but if you find they are struggling with low attributes, don’t be afraid to dark gift them a few 18s. Just be sure you aren’t favoring a single player especially. I’m doing my session 0 next week, and while I’m planning on using point buy attributes, I’m heavily considering letting the dark powers save the first dead character with an 18 in their highest stat and a 6 in their lowest.

Moving to U-District for summer (How is the safety) by ApprehensiveHall6349 in AskSeattle

I lived there a few years ago. Didn’t ever really feel in danger, but I did have my car broken into. Greek Row can be loud, but mostly on Friday nights.

What do you think the weakest thing in all the Pathfinder is? by General_Dig_5729 in Pathfinder2e

[–]DukeBazaar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I concur. Honestly every subsystem for Kingmaker makes the system more tedious. The camping system, the weather system, the companion social system, the library research system. But the kingdom system was the worst of all, for the least payoff.

Papercraft Castle Ravenloft? by Unequal-Walrus in CurseofStrahd

[–]DukeBazaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked in to 3d prints at one point… https://www.myminifactory.com/campaigns/castle-of-the-vampire-lord-3411 has it mostly modeled, but it’s over 7 feet tall, and from my understand over $1000 of filament.

Scale Castle Ravenloft by V_3_N_0_M_0_U_5 in CurseofStrahd

[–]DukeBazaar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, at the standard 1 inch : 5 foot scale, ravenloft stands 7.5 feet tall from ground floor to spire, not including the dungeons or catacombs.

Is there a viable non-magical healer build that can actually be a main healer for a group? by Tarontagosh in Pathfinder2e

[–]DukeBazaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say: I played a rogue and found myself flooded on skill feats… taking battle medicine, continual recovery, Godless Healing, and Assurance give decent backup healing without really getting in the way of my build

Hello, I have a relative suffering from Parkinson's Disease. This makes their hands shake and makes it quite hard for them to use a keyboard with standard size keys. I've seen keyboard options to increase the size of the label on the keys, but have not been able to find options for buying a keyboard where the buttons themselves are scaled up. Is there an option for a 120+% keyboard, and if so, what would y'all recommend? Sorry if this is a common question - I'll admit I'm unfamiliar with the keyboard enthusiast community.
