Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 9276092" data-attributes="member: 7006">The one thing about having 90% of beings in the domains not having souls is that it does make it (at least in my opinion) a bit easier to swallow how many of the events across the realm could actually work.There's that one domain for example (in the old box, dunno if it's in Van Helsing's) of the military guy Darklord who tries invading a neighboring domain over and over and over again, year after year after year.  That would not statistically be possible if his army had to be made up with actual people that found themselves in the domain, because they all get sent off to be slaughtered.  At some point you'd run out of able-bodied people to serve, thus the domain would need a constantly open portal to bring in more and more people from all the different settings to continually fill out his army.  And at some point, all of the prime realms would possibly realize just how many people kept getting sucked away into Ravenloft and perhaps start checking in on things there and bringing that forced enlistment to a close.At least by having 90% of the populace being soulless generative beings... that constant turnover can be justified a little bit easier.  The dark powers can give that Darklord as much cannon-fodder he needs to continue this inevitable failure of a military campaign, and the few souled people can be the ones getting stuck in the middle or having to be this Darklord's advisors to come up with new plans such that they can finally win (and all the real people can hopefully be sent back home.)</blockquote>
