Curse of Strahd - Out of Character Discussion

@scsf we all have stakes and crosses in our monster hunter pack just incase you didn’t know

Alright, I’ll be a slightly manipulative-but-mostly good guy then.

<Kazz> Do vampires have anuses? Cause that’s why I wouldn’t let this kid invade a vampire’s anus in this RPG, right, I was GMing, and his character was an Anus Shade, with the power to possess and control the anuses of people and animals… and I figured that vampires don’t have anuses.
<Zaratustra> a vampire’s anus is present, but non-working.
<Zaratustra> like a network card without the appropriate driver.
<Kazz> Wow. You’re the biggest dork on Earth.
<Sharkey> And you’re DMing an rpg with Anus Shades.

There’s a missed opportunity - we dont have any Anus Shades - though I heard Brendan suspects we might have some Butt Pirates

Is that something an 8 int character would say wintermute?

Are you judging me based on my character sheet?

People who are very stupid can often present as very intelligent- as you may have noticed while browsing this site.

I’ll remind you my character is exceptionally well-read, having spent years studying the ancient Celestial Texts. He is just not very naturally smart.

Then you should have just said you read a story that had something similar to this vampire occurrence.

I think you’re wrong anyway though because the letter warned us to not travel during night.

Isn’t that what the wisdom stat is for?

So are we going to loot shit on the way or just go straight to the castle? I thought we were already in the castle tbh but I guess we just crossed a border wall into some cursed forest

If there’s anything to loot, it’s probably in the castle.

You think I’m wrong or you think my character is wrong? Keep in mind that my character may say or do things that I do not agree with.

Your character’s thought that this is a trap is wrong, so I guess your char saying that makes sense.

Now you’re getting it

But it might be a trap

Somebody should think of a way to check dates on the letters. U can probably do investigation checks and see how old each is if we still have the other one stashed away somewhere

We should have also detected magic on the gate to see if it’s a magical thing or if someone was watching us approach. Too late now though.

We can probably detect magic from this side of it

I think I have that spell

I have the spell ready and so does nyte, but I think we should save them for future use.

I thought cantrips can be used at any time

Detect magic is not a cantrip

@Roragok Can you explain me how Divergent Persona works? Do I get a new character with separate stats?
