Café de Nuit

They're similar to the vampires from Blade II, but they're not the same.

Sorry guys, I'm much more low-tech than that. I used Microsoft Word to create this, haha--copy/pasting images to imitate the 5E statblock.

I posted a 5E conversion of Dominic d'Honaire here, if anyone's interested.

Thanks again, I appreciate your input. Was fun putting this guy together--not sure I'll ever use him, though. I'd have to come up with an adventure that could do him justice... unless there's already one published that features him? (The only Ravenloft book I own is the 3rd edition/D&D/Sword &am...

Decided to lower his hit points with the justification that he will likely be able to position himself well enough in combat to avoid being attacked directly most of the time, and if he is, he can use one of his Obedient to deflect one attack per round (with his "Unwilling Shield" ability;...

Good suggestions. I inflated his hit points because I wanted his CR to be around that of his 3rd edition counterpart (10). That said, he's likely never to be encountered without a handful of knights (from the Monster Manual). I think toning him down to CR 6 would fit the spirit of Ravenloft.

Thanks! I was basing his proficiency bonus off his HD; I hadn't realized it was supposed to be based off his CR (a problem for me since I'm not sure what his CR should be). Dominate person at will is a strong ability--are you sure he'd only be CR 5-7? Regarding his hit points and AC: I inflated his ...

Ah, true--immunity to the frightened condition would be fitting, as he was immune to "mind-affecting effects" in 3rd edition. And I agree that his powers are more subtle than that, but perhaps the DM can alter the ability as not to appear so obvious? Blank, expressionless eyes, dulled in c...

Hello everybody. As for an introduction: "Jal" was the name of my first Ravenloft character, a chaotic neutral half-vistani bard. He came very close to dying during our very first session when he was overrun by ghouls in a country-side inn. After that, Jal learned the Dark Speech (Fiendish...

First, let me say that this is my first post on these messageboards. So, here's a short introduction: "Jal" was the name of my first Ravenloft character, a chaotic neutral half-vistani bard. He came very close to dying during our very first session when he was overrun by ghouls in a countr...
