Isolde has been more active lately in Ravenloft. Although she hasn't given up trying to catch the GC she has decided she can't just focus in on him. There is much good that needs to be done in Ravenloft and she can't spend all her time trying to chase the fiend. You are "freaks" in her carnival and part of a group devoted to helping her do as much good in Ravenloft as you can. All players will be 2nd lvl to start out with a 32 point buy and max HP. I will want a good background description to figure out how "The Twisting" effects you. The rules are D&D 3.5 standard RL races but you can be of any class in the PH, PHII , any of the Complete Series or Book of Exalted Deeds. You do have to reference where you are getting your e class, spells or equipment etc. if they are not in the core books though. I don't want to hunt through a dozen books to know what you are talking about. You must be of non-evil alignment. There are a few changes made to this game. 1) The majority of DLs are "villians with good publicity" and are NOT obvious monsters. Strahd, Azalin, Ivana Bortisi etc. are mostly looked up to and admired as their faults are carefully hidden by the Dark Lords themselves in this version of Ravenloft. They are too smart to make it harder on themselves by being obvious monsters and having to worry about revolts and riots etc. That means Strahd is NOT known as "The devil Strahd", Ivana Bortisi is not known as "The Black Widow" etc. There are a few exceptions like the Three Hags but they are few.They are JUST as evil however. It is simply that they are evil not stupid evil! 2) The demiplane is not known as Ravenloft which is known only as Strahd's Castle but The Mistlands, The Mists or simply the world. 3) Most people living there have lived there all their lives and do NOT see it as a horrible place. In fact most see it as superior to the lands the "Outsiders" come from such as Faerun or Kyrnn. It is part familiarity and part patriotism. This is particularly true of the higher cultural level domains such as Demintlieu and Mordent.
