[QUOTE="Ranthalan, post: 6780613, member: 6790174"] Strahd challenged my group as well (6 5th-level PCs), but the cleric rolled terrible for the Holy Symbol. They also faced Strahd twice so the symbol was of no use the second time. Strahd also made good use of his charm to weaken the party. With Strahd's HP regeneration and certain tactical errors (the fighter preferring to attack at range for quite a while, rather than use a magical mace) I think they dished out over 300 points of damage before subduing Strahd. Two characters were unconscious at the end. Another was unconscious at one point, but had been healed. What I love about the module is how paranoid the players get. After adventuring in the castle for a while, if you mention the words "statue" or "alcove", they get really nervous. Two characters aged a year in one encounter, and one of them lost permanent HP in another. [/QUOTE]
