Isn't 9th level a little low for that adventure? I played that adventure with a 11th Level Cleric of Fharlanghn/ 1st level contemplative (we used 3.5 rules) with Travel, Luck, and Celerity domains, and I don't recall any unfair advantage using teleport or plane shift. In 3.0, you would have...

I've still never actually USED that spell even though I've been filling a slot with it for over a year. Not that I'm complaining...

Make them play Expedition to Castle Ravenloft.

When you say IMNSHO do you mean "I might need some human organs"? Because that's how I use that acronym. ;) Also, QED means "Quick! Everybody Dance!" AFAIK (all funny arguments involve kidding)

Verbobonc has a large Church of Rao. Its influence has waned as St. Cuthbert's influence has increased. I can't remember where I got this PDF, but you might find it useful. http://donkeyshow.org/rtttoee/Verbobonc/Verbobonc.pdf

I've been DM'ing Expedition To Castle Ravenloft. So far, we've had three deaths: a swordsage, a crusader, and a cleric. The fighter, warlock, and bard have all survived. So three overpowered deaths, while the three underpowered classes have survived. Go figure.

I do. Reincarnation is a gamble. You're more likely to be reincarnated as a goblin or a kobold. If you get bugbear, CONGRATS YOU WIN!

In my RTTTOEE campaign that appears to be dead, I would give 250-500 XP for character logs of previous sessions, but they had to be in character.

ahh ok. That makes more sense. It's a standard action to persist it. Also, the chains provide cover, for +4AC.

So does that mean that there's no reflex save if you intentionally walk through such a barrier? You still get a reflex save if you intentionally walk through a blade barrier.

Yuan-Ti Broodguard is LA 0. Incarnate Construct is LA -2 (minimum 0, so better for a race that already has a level adjustment... not sure if you can deduct from racial HD or not) Both from savage species. I'd say... just let him have the level adjustment. He'll die quickly due to lack of...

I just drew a straight line on the map from the adventure. The hex map is probably more accurate. I was using this map: http://donkeyshow.org/rtttoee/overland_map.jpg

If I use the overland map that was provided with RTTTOEE, which has a scale, I see that 160 pixels = 90 miles. There are 440 pixels between Verbobonc and Enstad, so that would work out to approximately 250 miles.

the 8 1st level warriors are not Cr4 total. They are cr 1/2 * 8. CR 1/2 is half of CR 1, in this case 150 xp. You don't divide the total xp 4 ways. You calculate the xp for each ECL, and then divide by the number of players. So it would be ((150 * 8) + 1800) / 4) or 750 for the 3rd level...

Storm Raven's explanation is pretty much the same as what is on page 37 of the DMG. NewJeffCT is summing up the CRs of the adversaries in the encounter and then looking up the XP for that CR, which is incorrect. Instead you should add the XP values of 2 CR 1/2s and 1 CR 3. So that's 150 +...
