well, that kinda sux - it takes an official ruling from WOTC for my rules-lawyer local organizer to let us do something outside the lines. thanks!

With the move, I've been out of Encounters for a while but want to get back in. Is it possible to run on different days now or is it still only a Wed game? Thanks!

cool - would you be willing to post him here or send him via email? I was working up a version based on the Perkin's article and the same powers in Open Grave.

Open Grave Strahd is level 20, old math. Before I redo all his math for MM3 conversion, I wanted to see if it already existed and I just can't find him? I'm hoping to get him around level 13 and am new to releveling. The version in DDI has limited powers and no alternate forms. Of course, if...

Thanks - I'd forgotten about Open Grave. I have it here and will check as well. Since I'm one-shotting a game for the setting, I think I'll start the PCs higher so I can run Strahd as intended in OG.

So I ran a 4e converted Strahd (down to level 11) and some of his powers were a bit confusing. He has three forms, but each has separate HP values. How do you handle HP tracking if he is switching between forms. I was thinking probably giving all forms the same HP for ease and tracking that way...

How does Spawn Wraith work? The text says that if the wraith kills a humanoid, but does killed mean the PC has to have failed all 3 death saves, or drops below 0? If the PC raises as a wraith, can he/she be brought back to life after the encounter? Thanks!

Penalty was the wrong word - I meant more like impending threat and yes, I'll go with the extended rest Endurance checks, I think for the excellent points you all have made. To awaken the legacy items, they have to spend 8 hours anyway, so that plus the night they'll stay in the castle and...

Every short rest would be great - then they'd suffer during each encounter - nasty for that fever which has them making free action attacks. So, would you have them roll with their + Will bonus to a medium/hard DC? I could have them make an endurance check, but Will is more the flavor in this...

cool - but way more complicated than I want to keep up with as a relatively new dm!

My thought was to have them save when they enter, do whatever they do in the room - might be quick - then next room save again to see if they stay the same, are cured, or worsen. The effect lasts until they leave the room, and enter the next one - check again. Good point on speed, but I'm not...

I have no idea. The manual only says increase depravity score. That's why I posted!

I just assumed it has something to do with Will, but I've never run anything outside 4e.

I'm running Expedition to Ravenloft in 4e. I asked around and got a great idea for a disease, Werewolf Moon Frenzy (lv 6). So, each time the PCs enter a room in the castle (and there are lots), they have to make a Will check (or Endurance?) against the disease. Each time they change rooms, a new...

I think I'm going to run as you suggest and use Werewolf Moon Frenzy (lv 6). It does pretty much what I want. I don't know whether to run it vs Will or Endurance? Any advantage to either?

oh, looking again, its "increase" depravity score by 1d3.

I'm running Expedition to Ravenloft - converting to 4e as I go. I'm had few problems so far, but I have no idea what to do when the players fail a check that results in a -1d3 depravity score. What is something comparable in 4e? If reduced, how does it come back? thanks!

is shadowdance from one of the AVs?

actually, shimmering armor will probably work since I'm wearing cloth - dex is maxed, a point blank weapon is also a good option, particularly since this is a Dark Sun campaign and I don't have a magic weapon yet.

I'm running an Essentials Hunter and want to look into different ways I might make longbow attacks in melee. I think I remember a cloak or armor that would allow it, or perhaps there's a feat? I could also consider an enchanted bow. I'm currently level 3 with bracers of the perfect shot as my...
