I will be playing in a Curse of Strahd campaign. I'd like to know if the characters are from Ravenloft or if they start from somewhere else and enter Strahd's domain? Please, no spoilers beyond this question.
So, I was pretty excited getting my Transmuter to level 10. Then, I check my rules-as-written, and when my wizard polymorphs himself, his intelligence changes to 1 or 2. How does he even remember he's a wizard and to change back later? Isn't the utility of turning into a bird or a fish...
