In honor of Halloween, presenting Endur’s Expedition to Castle Ravenloft

Character Creation Rules
Create a 5th level Player Character as per the Rules in the Players Hand Book. 25 point buy for stats, maximum hit points at first level. Levels after 1st level will be 1/2 maximum hit points on each dice. Equipment value, horses, and wealth: 9000gp.

If the campaign lasts long enough, I expect the characters to advance from fifth level to eleventh level.

The core rules for this campaign are the 3.5 PHB, PHBII, DMG, MM, and Libris Mortis. Each player can use one other WOTC book of your choice in building your character (i.e. feats, classes, PRCs, races, spells, and other such rules). NPCs follow the same rule, each NPC may have rules from one WOTC book in addition to the core rules above.

Expedition to Castle Ravenloft is set in Barovia in a not identified game world (probably Greyhawk). The Gods of the core setting are being used (Pelor, etc). Characters start thirty miles outside Barovia in a roadside hostel named the Weary Horse Inn. None of the PCs have previously visited Barovia.

Note that I post on average once a day, and expect this game will take a year to complete. So we might start on one Halloween and finish on the next Halloween.

It is ok to play in this campaign if you have previously played in Ravenloft or I6. Please do not read the new “Expedition to Castle Ravenloft” WOTC book.

Put your character in the Rogues Gallery and make an intro post in the IC thread.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

I may have myself some interest. As for what I'm playing, I shall have to get back to you on that for specifics. I am considering a ranger, a hunter of undead. I have a backstory percolating through my mind, and I shall try to get it up within two days.

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

I'm interested, and thinking of playing a Cleric of Pelor... sounds like fun. Will post character in a few days.

Wondering... is this a first-come first-served game?

 

[Rhun]

I'd like to take on the role of party-tank...so, I'll be throwing up a submission for a fighter type character of some type.

 

[Voadam]

Are godless clerics OK?

 

[Endur]

Wondering... is this a first-come first-served game?

My algorithm is a little bit more complex.

Isida Kep'Tukari, Goddess FallenAngel, Rhun, and Voadam are all in. Still recruiting more.

 

[hafrogman]

Looks like you could use a thief rogue.

I'm thinking the PHB II variant, so as to actually have something to do against the inevitable undead.

 

[Wrahn]

I would be interested in throwing my hat in. Perhaps a ranged specialist, Ranger/Rogue or some combination there of.

 

[Pyrex]

I've seen all the major avenues covered save arcanist, so I think that's where I'm leaning.

I'm undecided yet between wiz/sor/other.

Given the badness that comes along with being evil in Ravenloft I'm concerned that either Beguiler or Warlock may be, er, sub-optimal; so either Wiz or Sor is looking more likely.
