[QUOTE="velinion, post: 6421411, member: 6784862"] I've been running the 1E Ravenloft module (I6) in 5E, directly swapping the 5E Monster stats in (Wargs and all the undead are represented in the 5E Monster Manuel) with a couple of house rules to take into account that the 1E edition was expecting unlimited Turn Undead actions a day. The players have just reached Castle Ravenloft, and the wandering monster encounters have varied form easy (9 zombies) to challenging (4 Wraiths, they barely survived, but entered this fight down most of their good spells form a previous fight) but they have seemed pretty well balanced. I'll see how the castle interior goes. The main monsters that need conversion are the once special for the adventure: Strahd, the the Strahd Zombies. Still working on this, but have been using the Vampire Spawn in place of the Vampire Maiden encounters, so might just use the Vampire for Strahd. I've got four 5th level PCs running this, and the original module called for 4-6 PCs lvls 5-7, so they are on the low end. Like I said though, seems balanced so far. [/QUOTE]
