[QUOTE="kenobi65, post: 2555015, member: 1515"] Then your groups are either far luckier, or far smarter, than we were. We had a very experienced group of players, but every decision we made came back to bite us in the butt. Also, keep in mind that the module gave specific directions against allowing any higher-level clerics into the adventure...so all the undead in the module are going to be a real problem. In addition, the "one real way" to kill Strahd in our run of the module became impossible...it was the "Sunsword solution", but the PC who had been unwittingly carrying the blade of the Sunsword had died partway through the mod, and we'd left the body (and the blade) behind. So, when we came into the room where the Sunsword was supposed to reassemble itself, nothing happened. Anecdotally, I don't think we were the only group that this module bested. The following year, I ran into Tracy Hickman at GenCon. He confessed that he'd heard quite a few stories of parties that his masterpiece had wiped out. [/QUOTE]
