I'm writing up a quick one-night Castle Ravenloft adventure including the lord of Ravenloft himself, Count Strahd Von Zarovich. I want him to be a solo creature so I based him off of the level 11 black dragon with more vampiry abilities. Here's what I've come up with. Let me know what you think:
Edited - I rebuilt him using the Monster Creation Rules from the DMG rather than the black dragon version:
Count Strahd Von Zarovich
