[QUOTE="Ibrandul, post: 7041494, member: 6871736"] I like the madnesses. The one time I ran through Curse of Strahd as a player, I was an aristocratic Lawful Good high elf wizard with a need to save the "commoners" and a horror of ever doing anything impolite, let alone anything evil. Then I died and was resurrected with the "you now really enjoy killing people" madness. This led to the best six or so sessions I've ever had with 5e, and the most fun character exit I've had in D&D: I chose to play the situation out as a descent into insanity, as my character became increasingly addicted to killing sentient beings and increasingly tormented by the intense euphoria he experienced when doing so. Finally, within the Amber Temple, my character killed one too many Nothics, turned a permanent corner into full crazy, and began to attack his best friend in the party. When she defended herself, I received a mild piercing injury and saw my own blood on her dagger, experienced a final epiphany and, finally, slit my own throat while cackling "The ultimate rush!" Everyone at the table agreed it was awesome and "totally Barovia" -- and none of it would have happened without the random madnesses! [/QUOTE]
