stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [OOC]

[stonegod]

@stonegod: I guess that the order that Urik belongs to, this 'Knight of the Raven', is a prestige class of some sort? If it is, and if it might be possible for Ashlyn to take, could you PM me details of it? Given Urik's description thus far, it sounds like it might suit her.

Alas, I am but a lowly user without the means to PM (community sponsors only).

This module has sooooo much paladin goodness. Blech!

I mean, I suppose I could become a Paladin 5 /Rogue 1/Shadowbane Inquisitor 4/Knight of the Raven 1/Hunter of the Dead 1 at 12th level.

(Not that I would advocate being a member of two seperate knightly orders!)

KoTR is for any class with divine access. I can say right now that Urik is *not* a paladin.

At first glance that looks like a ranger-oriented PrC. Just saying...

Rgr 6/CA 5/KoTR 9 works ...

True, true, although I imagine this 'vigil' is more difficult than SG is letting on.

The party line is "No Comment."

I'm going to give a chance for others to have questions/reactions before having Urik reply.

@DEFCON, Isida: If I recall correctly there was a scroll of lesser restoration in Selase's gear. Since Selase's equipment had nothing to do with Ashlyn, I figured that she has no reason to mention this IC. However, just to make sure that you guys didn't miss this.

@stonegod: Lots of good stuff in the 'Knights of the Raven' PrC. It looks like it will suit Ashlyn just fine .

A couple of questions:
- The Raven harrier abilities that allow a save (harry & baffle). What type of save and what is the DC?
- Is the PrC locality restricted (i.e. Barovia only) or is it just that Urik and his predecessors have never left?

Alas, I am but a lowly user without the means to PM (community sponsors only).

Hmm ... I didn't realise this ... that explains a lot. I guess I was too used to the wizards community boards. (It seems I'm just a lowly user here too).

- Don't have the book here, but I believe they are Cha+1/2 level based.
- No, but that's where it started. And that other part I haven't told you does restrict it somewhat geographically.

Hmmmm ... I have a sneaking suspicion that the geographical restriction might have something to do with the vigil (given the "No Comment" party line) ...

.... now what would be the worst place to have to hold a vigil in Barovia ...
