    Strand, first thing you are gonna do is your new mantra for this. “I will not engage them directly.”
    Second thing: “All my disposable minions are gonna live up to their name.”
    Third thing: “ My win condition is they leave while I still exist.”
    Use these three in concert, lead them to an exit you make and shove them out the door. Bonus points if you send them to the Shadowlands and make them Sharr or the Raven Queens problem…

      I mean the Raven Queen would probably "help" the players against Strahd, considering her hatred for inteligent undead. And Strahd is most deffinately an intelligent undead. Soooo. Shar it is I guess?

      double bonus points if you land them in either the nine hells or the abyss. let them go ham down there, plenty to slay, demons to bleed. just... if you hear the, and i quote, "Doom Music" start... you start running... cos they beat literal hell.

    If Nappa wants to play a monk character with energy attacks, he might consider the Esoteric archetype for the Magus. No alignment restriction, built around unarmed combat, and he has a full arsenal of magic at his disposal to either buff himself or make energy attacks.

      okay, what straw needs to do is get together a couple of high-level artificers and have them make their normal bombs. Denny's going to need one belt of giant strength. he probably has something like that in the treasury. he also will need an individual who have the ability to use the spell summon steed. for the bombs that our officers make to work, they have to throw them themselves. so what you do is you take the basic saddle pack. summon the steed, which according to the tradition of the table I run for when we do Pathfinder is named Marvin with a number off of it after how many Marvin's we've gone through. You then put all of the artificer's bombs in for that day into the saddle pack of the summoned horse. You then throw the summoned horse with all of the bombs at the adventurers. this will not only do some decent damage. saying is how you can just simply pass the belt of giant strength around to what artificers you have but it will also throw the adventurers off their game because they're being attacked by exploding horses

    Chaosium- oh we’re a skills based system, classes don’t even exist.
    Strahd- and the player characters… how tough are they.
    Chaosium- Investigators? Oh they’re weak. fragile even, like level 1 wizard.

    Strahd, my guy, what are you doing? You are a powerful, well connected, elder Vampire. Call up one of the Fae queens, use one of those favors you've been hoarding and get them to cause some trouble and draw those goodie-goodies away and ... disappeared. They are geared up for vamp hunting, they might have some secondaries that can handle a few fae but they won't have the gear for High Court.

    Some of the best Pathfinder characters I’ve seen have been halfling fighters or rogues. We had one on our team who could outwit any bad guy. We often joked we could just toss him into the lair and the target would come out convinced they had been trespassing on his turf all along. Oh, and he was good with a blade, too.

    Pathfinder level 20 characters going to Strahd's castle.
    Surprised they haven't dropped a tactical nuclear Sunburst spell from the next village over since that thing instantly kills Strahd. Plus extra damage to basically every follower he has around his castle in an 80ft radius while also acting like light which means it can filter into spaces so you can't hide in the closet to avoid it. And the things that do survive are permanently blind now.
    After that they'd take the castle since no actual damage happened to the masonry and call the module over.
    (Totally not talking from experience at all)

    Kinetic Knight Kineticist would've been a good option as well. Just retheme the "Blade" into a "Fist" and bam. Good to go, and you get energy blasts. Pick the right Infusions, and you can even do Giant Storm! We know how much you love that one, Nappa! ...Was a real baller move in Xenoverse, as well.
    Wait, does this Nappa know about the tiiiiiii have said too much.

    This gives me an idea. You ever heard of Dungeon Keeper and the like? This wouldn't just be like an evil campaign, but specifically like instead of playing a party of adventurers, you play as the big bads, defending your lair against adventuring parties.

    Strahd: I don't know who these adventurers are, but they look like they can be a problem. One looks like a human warrior with a whip and a veritable arsenal of daggers, axes, holy water and crosses. There is a human sorceress that is wearing a blue robe and has red hair. They also have another warrior that looks like he a bit pale, but has a sword, shield and what appears to be a fairy familiar sitting on his shoulder. They also have a scruffy looking rogue with a red bandanna and climbing gear. I think I may be in trouble here.

    Heh. I'm reminded why I prefer point-based build systems like GURPS and Champions to Class-based systems like D&D...you're more defined by what you *can* do, rather than what you can't do. Want to do a basic adventuring fighter who knows a little low-level magic for camping uses as maintaining armor/weapons as they travel? Dead simple in GURPS, even for a simple starting charcter. (Magery 0 or 1 as needed for the setting, your weapon skills, survival skills, and the spell skills at low level). In D&D...it gets complicated, either multiclassing fighter and a magic-using class, or if you're lucky, a mage class that doesn't suck using the weapons and armor. And even then, 'utility' spells aren't all first level or cantrips.

    There is a reason why we homebrew is popular with these classes. Sometimes there will be a monk who challenges the beliefs he grew up in. Some Palidans see the corruption in the system and decided to fight against the system for the sake of the people.

    • @aandrew4562
      @aandrew4562 3 місяці тому +3

      In a supplement book for 3rd Edition D&D (what 1st Edition Pathfinder was based on) they had a whole section on what being good means. They said that Lawful Good didn't mean you follow all of man's laws. Some men have made slavery legal, some have made intimacy with minors legal. Following those laws would be evil. To be lawful good you follow either the strict code/ law of the good God you worship, or your own moral code/ laws that is good. A very common misconception. I wish they had put it in the main rulebook.

    Alignments in table top are dumb in general, let alone the restrictions they come with. I've never played with a group that actually used them beyond detect good/evil and even then that was unreliable. People are complex, nuance is one of the many spices of life. Characters should be the same, not forced into "Good" boxes and "Bad" boxes.
