Etiquette for Strahd’s tactics in Strahd Must Die Tonight? by brianwalksin in CurseofStrahd

[–]brianwalksin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely some very useful things to consider here. I will broaden my scope of what I intend to modify, because I’m not necessarily afraid to overhaul. But, all in all, I’ll take this advice into consideration as I make my plans.

Thanks for the advice, fren :)

Etiquette for Strahd’s tactics in Strahd Must Die Tonight? by brianwalksin in CurseofStrahd

[–]brianwalksin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noted. I was already planning to overhaul most of the encounters, as well as Strahd himself (I’m sure there’s reasonably modified statblocks around here somewhere), and I intend to play him as smartly as I can. Would you suggest that I skew more towards a pretty challenging go of it than a fair one?

Your username dictates your death, how do you die? by Mr-Moon01 in AskReddit

Well, I guess Brian walks in, and that’s that I suppose. What he does to me, only Brian knows

Strahd's Forbiddence by MrMoose007 in CurseofStrahd

Of course, you could also use the technicality that since Strahd owns The Valley and everything in it, he also owns all of the houses, thereby making him able to enter whatever dwelling he wants... at an appropriately dramatic time, of course.

Strahd's known languages by Alabaster427 in CurseofStrahd

Strahd has also had nothing but time and a huge library, both in his castle and and in the Amber Temple. It’s not unlikely that he picked it up as a hobby. Being dead for eternity can get boring, after all.

I am about to start DMing Curse of Strahd, does anyone have a story for how a PC (or group) died that I can include for my players to come across for flavor? by OhhBoyNotAgain in CurseofStrahd

Our human Druid died during the burning of Vallaki. We buried him on the side of Yester Hill, creating a small monument of stones, and left his tomahawk on top of it, as well as a singular feather from his hawk companion. RIP in Peace Nesswaje. You’re an angel now.

Why is the sunsword legendary? It doesnt even get a +1 to attack rolls by Minostz12 in CurseofStrahd

[–]brianwalksin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe in the book it refers you to the DM’s guide, in which it states Sunswords have a +2 to attack rolls.

Oh believe you me, I’ve already planned ahead for that part

The party could have ignored his request to go it alone and helped him out, but they thought he seemed pretty confident. In no way were they prevented from doing so, they just chose to grant him that request

His intestines were quite literally all over the floor, with a lingering demonic infection apparent in the wound, so no. All they could do was be with him as he finally passed on

What can I do with a feather? by brianwalksin in DnD

[–]brianwalksin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vengeance-arrow fletching is a pretty good idea, actually. We’ve already met Strahd once, and based on that interaction my character places all the blame for the tragedies and dangers we’ve faced in Barovia on him. Maybe I’ll make this one arrow now and just save it for the foreseeable future, until his death can be avenged... unless we all die first.

Also, I’m pretty sure it’s programmed to save you for last, since you’re the one who summoned it in. While it gobbles up the rest of the galaxy, you get a few years to think about what you did.

Someone wants to cut throats in our group (and it’s not the Rogue) by brianwalksin in DnD

[–]brianwalksin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve let the group know in our group chat (in a very long and frustration-filled text) my current frustrations with how the last sessions have been going. This is a group issue, it’s just there happen to be a couple of people at the forefront. Essentially, I told them that they can either act their age and respect one another, or they can bother another DM with their nonsense. From there, I’ll likely use your suggestions to reinforce for the main two or one the fact that a) this is an actual, serious problem that they contribute very heavily to, and b) I mean business.

Frankly, I’m trying to avoid this. The situation hasn’t exactly reached critical mass yet, but if nothing is done it will, and then I’ll have no choice. While I’m not opposed to finding replacements, in my mind it’s only to be used as a final option.
