Similarly, I have played in, and enjoy, the Ravenloft setting (which I realize this campaign isn't, really), but never this particular adventure. I've come up with a character concept that I think works well with the themes of both the setting and the adventure; here goes:Name: Gustavus JaranusBackground: It is often bemoaned by some of the more provincial folk that newcomers are bound to bring trouble, and everyone would be better off if they had just stayed put. While such sentiments evoke the rolling of eyes from more cosmopolitan citizens, it is an undeniable fact that there are bad apples in every bunch. And in the kingdom of Karrnath, where the new arrivals are the walking dead, the law has had to adapt to a new species of criminal.Gustavus is one of a few specially trained inquisitives assigned to a circuit of the kingdom's villages and cities, responsible for dealing with undead-related crime solving. It's not that he had any special affinity for the task; the position simply developed organically out of a rather pressing necessity, and Gustavus was the most senior detective in his jurisdiction. He has taken to his duty with enthusiasm, however, quickly becoming one of the nation's foremost authorities not only on bringing undead criminals to justice, but also diplomatic interactions with the more intelligent among such creatures. He is also more aware than the average Karrnathi of just how many of their countrymen can no longer enjoy a good flagon of Nightwood ale.Gustavus is a rather tall, broad man in his early fourties. He projects a stern, professional demeanor among strangers and while he's working, but this softens somewhat in the company of trusted friends and/or a few mugs of the aforementioned ale. He is, in fact, very good at what he does, and will singlemindedly devote his energies to solving a case, all the more so as it becomes increasingly complicated, byzantine, and frustrating.Role: I see Gustavus as a skills-based rogue/master inquisitive, notably making use of the undead empathy feat.</blockquote>
