[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 6880502, member: 9789"] I totally should have read this thread sooner! :) Awesome write-up. Also, I just have to say: this is one of the best backgrounds for a PC ever. :) Also, sorry for all the threads - I was separating the topics! Totally stealing that, too. The "Scrying spell manifests as a shadow" idea is also awesome, although I will never remember to use it. :) Oh man I wish I had read this first before tying my plot into the mongrelfolk - much better. Brilliant! And much more like a vampire. I might keep her being Tatyana reincarnated (lucky guess on Strahd's part) just to keep the risk of him finally "obtaining" her, but I love the idea that she doesn't really look like Tatyana. Makes the other brides make more sense, too. Love it, totally using this, too. (Why in the WORLD were they in those houses?) So much awesome! They... should have... sent a poet... I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously! It's a really, really dumb reason. I was already thinking that maybe Strahd's tomb was unhallowed, so that meant the deva could never actually defeat him finally because he could never get close enough, but even that is swiss cheese (uh, ranged weapons? Random other PCs he's teamed up with?). One of several annoying plot holes that while, yes, the PCs might never notice them, it always makes for a much richer story (in my experience) when everything HAS a reason, you just might not know it. Thanks for all these great posts! [/QUOTE]
