Which was intended to be the chance for you to realize that you meant "interpreted", but, no: when you read your account last game, you repeated "interrupted". Wow. Just, wow. I am completely unable to comprehend how anybody would see Amaroth's behavior as "interrupting"...

Good thing I was there to "interrupt" you.

Last session, Amaroth bestowed invisibility on both Sedon and himself. After we failed to disarm/unlock the door the first time, the stone golems stirred and we booked it. The DM ruled that they got an Attack of Opportunity at Amaroth - at disadvantage, since he was invisible. The ruling (presumably...

I believe that after Strahd attacks (physically) from invisibility, even greater invisibility, he provokes an attack of opportunity when he (presumably) withdraws. This would be at disadvantage. I looked at your thread. I saw nothing that suggested that. In fact, one person said the exact opposite:...

(1) do we think the lair action is only available on that floor or is it throughout the castle. I'm betting on throughout. Castle Ravenloft is Strahd's "lair". You know the extra action that takes place at Initiative count 20 is a "Lair Action" because I told you. The action is ...

One last comment: your Tarokka deck reading from Madame Eva indicated you would encounter Strahd in a location of knowledge and lore. That would be the study. You walked in there with no preparation or scrying or divination or any warning whatsoever. Been there, done that. Henceforth, it is probably...

Strahd was tough. He has a lot of powers - including Legendary Powers. I would say that I didn't hold back, except, reviewing them again, I pulled his punches a bit by not using his Legendary Actions each round. Many of his powers simply did not come into play since you didn't actually ever bring th...

I'll start a new thread for discussing strategy and tactics vs. Strahd. I have the following observations/conclusions regarding the session. Several people used Inspiration points. The DM decides when and if to reward characters a new inspiration point. The intended purpose is to reward role playing...

That is almost certainly not 100% accurate, but it is what I was able to deduce from the gametable log. It took, literally, one minute for Strahd to leave four of you unconscious and the other three (somewhat) wounded. Both Brandt and Kili's shadows are now undead thralls of Strahd. You've actually ...
