#1 Sysane Mar 04, 2007 17:01:57	Would someone mind posting (or PMing me) White Wolf’s take on Strahd’s 3.5 attributes? I’m just looking for what WW has for his Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, and Chr scores? It would be greatly appreciated.
#2 hxhunter Mar 04, 2007 20:12:35	Here are the EtCR stats are: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20061006a&page=2
#3 Sysane Mar 04, 2007 20:16:24	I've got those. I was hoping for the White Wolf ones. Can't see any harm in just listing his ability scores. Its not like I'm asking for his entire write-up or stat block.
#4 zombiegleemax Mar 05, 2007 7:11:24	CON should be easy, "---", as he's (un)dead.
#5 Sysane Mar 05, 2007 7:41:03	CON should be easy, "---", as he's (un)dead. Wow, you'd think I was asking for someone's social security number ;)
#6 humanbing Mar 05, 2007 8:11:41	Where do the 3.5 stats even come up? The most up to date stats I have for Strahd are the 3.0 ones in the Gaz I.
#7 Sysane Mar 05, 2007 8:21:09	I thought those were 3.5? At this rate, I'd settle for his 3.0 ability scores.
#8 thanael Mar 05, 2007 13:51:41	26,20,-,20,17,18.
#9 Sysane Mar 05, 2007 15:41:23	Thank you. Much appreciated.
#10 Mortepierre Mar 05, 2007 16:12:56	I thought those were 3.5? Nope. Strahd's stats from both Secrets of the Dread Realms and Gaz1 were 3.0. On a side note, his stats in the two books are different
#11 Sysane Mar 05, 2007 21:08:18	Nope. Strahd's stats from both Secrets of the Dread Realms and Gaz1 were 3.0. On a side note, his stats in the two books are different Which of the two did you find more accurate?
#12 Mortepierre Mar 06, 2007 3:08:23	Which of the two did you find more accurate? Note that those stats differ only for Str/Dex. Int/Wis/Cha are rated the same in both cases. Physically speaking, impossible to say. I mean, it's not as if I could just walk up to Strahd and ask him to go though calisthenics in order to quantify his Str/Dex scores... :P From a logical point of view, I prefer his stats in SotDR because they don't make him unbeatable (though still a monstrous opponent). Alas, knowing how PC can be min/maxed these days, I've to admit that his Gaz1 stats probably are needed to give him a chance when facing certain groups.
#13 Sysane Mar 06, 2007 8:42:21	Thanks for the input I'm running EtCR and wanted to bulk up Strahd in order to make him a little more in line with RL canon. I ended up overhauling the wilderness fane mechanic to included higher stats and abilities of an ancient vampire.
#14 Mortepierre Mar 06, 2007 9:47:39	Careful. A Strahd with the powers of an Ancient vampire from RL AND the powers of the fane may be an opponent requiring adventurers of a much higher level! I wouldn't want to go up against "canon" Strahd without a team made of lvl 11-12 adventurers. Add the fanes and even they would get a run for their money!
#15 Sysane Mar 06, 2007 10:03:47	Careful. A Strahd with the powers of an Ancient vampire from RL AND the powers of the fane may be an opponent requiring adventurers of a much higher level! I wouldn't want to go up against "canon" Strahd without a team made of lvl 11-12 adventurers. Add the fanes and even they would get a run for their money! I actually removed the fane powers and replaced them with the powers of an ancient vampire (I'm not that cruel). Here's the new breakdown of the wilderness fane powers: Mountain Fane: If Strahd's connection to the mountains is severed, his attributes become the following: Str:18, Dex:14, Int:20,Wis:17, Chr:13 Forrest Fane: If Strahd's connection to the forests is severed, his Speed decreases to 30-ft. (6 squares) and his Fast Healing becomes 5 hit points per round. Swamp Fane: If Strahd's connection to the swamps is severed, his damage reduction worsens to 10/magic & silver and his natural armor decreases to +6. Once all three connections to the land are severed Strahd’s turn resistance becomes +4.
#16 kwdblade Mar 11, 2007 16:12:02	Keep in mind that in the 3.0 Ravenloft game, Straud was CR 24.
