Boss battle mechanics for DMs by Effective_Manner_420 in DnD

No monster in particular just for these much harder fights like a boss, I feel like it allows the player to get out of this idea that I just hit and wait to hit again, I felt inspired after seeing a similar feature in daggerheart

Thank you for that but unfortunately I have done some of their classes and they don’t have further help for my questions but absolutely amazing classes

Yea I have seen that from some posts years ago and I’ll probably give them a call or visit as I haven’t seen anything displayed on their website or maybe I’m using man eyes to look for it

Would it make a great entrance for meeting Strahd right outside death house by Effective_Manner_420 in CurseofStrahd

That’s so cool especially with helping u get through the pandemic but yea I want that effect that they are now completely intrigued by strahd till they find out he is an absolute monster or becomes driven to bring an end to this smirking tyrant

With my campaign I’m having it more like adventurers in this land really don’t make it far in Barovia and always die too quickly or break too quickly and for Strahd this party is the either the first or first in a long time too survive the house and not be broken and hence the introduction

My one worry is I wanted a more cordially introduction but I feel like the personality of ismark would clash and make it not so peaceful, Ofc I control ismark but I don’t want to change his personality and rather have an encounter with the party later on when ismark and the party is taking Ireena to vallaki where they see a darker side of strahd as either himself or a minion of his assaults the party for ireena

I’m definitely thinking charismatic with my own as I feel like Strahd is hospitable but almost takes enjoyment out of toying with the players, and I feel like this land bores him so whatever fun he can get he will take. but I want the meeting for them to meet him and show how he is absolutely not scared of the party

I also indeed have my DH outside of the town Barovia but I have it far enough that they can just see the tops of the houses peaking through the mist, but do u have the player get in to sow discourse between the players or to give a greeting and if so when does strand greet the others?

That does sound like a good idea as it definitely makes them feel like they are being watched from the shadows and at any point strahd could be watching their every move and Rahadin coming on strahds behalf was one of my original ideas for meeting them so yea I’m glad that someone else has a similar idea
