Halloween: How would you build Dracula?

Well the question says it all...

I have a fondness for Bram Stokers character... Vlad Dracul the historical character could be built as a popular bravura warlord ... ;-)

I am discovering I dont like any of the Vampire Lord's listed in the Adventure Tools (or should I say none seem anywhere near something to start from to build THE Dracula). Dracula is a pretty heavy shape changer for one thing.

help!

Hey there!

You could always use the Strahd Von Zarovich stats in Open Grave where he's a Level 20 Solo Controller.

That's not on my list of stuff . nor did it find its way into Adventure Tools. The Vampire thre in I liked the most was may haps... Gwenth (also in Dragon 378). Her moves definitely sound like things doable in beast form

Did you just say that Strahd is not in the Adventure Tools? Because I'm looking right at him. The only thing missing are the mini-blocks for his Wolf and Swarm of Bats forms, which is an unfortunate oversight.
