I wanted also ask, is Curse of Strahd worth it? Does it give good ideas for the rest of Ravenloft or horror games?

I want to take some of the theme of darkest dungeon and use it in a game, not so much the no hope you are screwed attitutude but definitely the horror, eldritch creatures and dark secrets. However I don't want a dungeon crawl only. I want to have RP and other things worked in. I'd rather it be a...

Actually they are wrong. Raven Queen is neutral and her clerics can be Death Domain. Same with Wee Jas and some other gods. And that is in the DMG too. So officially RAW? They are wrong.

That's very stupid. 5E has some huge flaws in that.

Where does it specifically state that? Is that in MM or DMG?

AND Undead cannot be healed by cure wounds. Undead are healed by NEGATIVE energy and hurt by positive. Thus Cure Wounds? Hurts all undead unless it says otherwise. The Undying in Eberron for example? They are a different kind of undead. They are fueled by positive energy and as such are good...

I doubt they will ever be answered. I think the Sage Advice guys are past Revenants. Maybe when it's October again lol. I think they did say that they don't need to eat or sleep or any of that. I wonder what their type is then if not Undead? I guess you're just whatever type most PCs are with...

Revenants are actually NOT undead as we know them to be anyway. Their type does NOT become Undead. As per Sage Advice answer. They are not immune to poison for example. So I guess PC version Revenants are more like the Crow than some undead thing back for revenge. That IS an official answer.

Ravenloft needs the xenophobia enforced by rules. Panzies need not apply. This crying about "wah wah my tiefling has a -5 to checks with these people" is the kind of person who should not play Ravenloft. That sort of thing NEEDS to be there. The people are afraid, paranoid and xenophobic. If you...

ALSO you apparently have never ever heard of turning the tables? All of a sudden the face PC can't talk for the group because the locals are xenophobic to the "demonic freak" and the barbarian or other humans have to actually get off their butts and roleplay, or the non fighting PC is forced to...

That's part of the setting? Yes, the barbarian would indeed have better interactions. Its supposed to be a xenophobic place. Being just dropped in it and dealing with how that setting is like is also part of the whole feel of it. Its gotten way too watered down. They ARE supposed to be penalized...

No, there is NOT my xenophobia considering that in "the real world" most people wouldn't be scared of elves and dwarves. They would only be scared of Tiefling, Dragonborn and Half-Orcs. In Ravenloft they are xenophobic vs everything non human and there was a scale of about -1 to -5 penalty on...

That is totally untrue. It does not say it is specifically meant for a older PC to use only. No where does it say that ONLY a established PC can use it.

There is actually the Grave Domain in UA for Kelevmor, Wee Jas and others. But so what if it has animate dead for Death Domain? Where does it say you HAVE to use it? And honestly it seems in 5e with some spells taht is is far more about how you use it than using it period. Animate dead certainly...

I noticed the curse of Strahd doesn't use any rules for enforcing horror? Why is this? I liked the older Ravenloft rules for horror. I also still miss the xenophobia mechanic. A tiefling/dragonborn and even a half orc cannot just walk around a town in Ravenloft and freely talk to people. They...

Do revenants rot, or otherwise look not normal? The MM ones do but the MM one regen 10 HP a round. The PC version is obviously different and weaker. There needs to be far more info given about these things. Like can a revenant have kids or get someone pregnant? Can a revenant try to ignore its...

Do Revenants need to eat, sleep, drink and breathe? Like will it adversely affect them if they dont do those things? Sure they can't die permanently but could a revenant be starved to death? Drown? Die from lack of sleep or water and then have to wait 24 hours to come back?

NO idea. Death Domain should be just like those pacts, its how you use your powers and the exact type of Death God you ally with if you're evil. I mean if you follow Mrykul, that dude is very evil. A God of UNdeath would be evil. But just a God of Death? Death comes to everyone. Its LN as hell...

That's way too weak. Sage Advice actually said reduce CHA to +1 and remove skill versatility. And Half-Elfs DO have subraces now. Sword Coast Adventurers Guide has some.

Ok. Hmm I am unsure if I will be a revenant then or not. I like the plus 1 to every stat humans get.. So what of a half elf Revenant?
