Agreed. Best case scenerio: Strahd Zombie.

Human
Expert 5, Scholar 1
I'd probably come from Resistencia (On the Nueva Aragona cluster, created by Nathan); though, given my background, my parents would be Falkovnian refugees.
Skills: Bluff, Craft (Drawing, Tech Device), Knowledge (Arcana, Architecture and Engineering, Religion), Perform (Dance), Sense Motive.
Feats: Jaded.

On RL, and with my knowledge, I would try to contact the Fraternity of Shadows, for protection, knowledge and the promise of learning some real magic (Besides, working alongside Roti, Dion, Wiccy and the rest of them sounds interesting :D ). However, I would probably end up being prey to some random werewolf, contracting lycanthropy, and hating myself for the rest of my life.

Hmm... Perhaps a level 1 Expert (policeman) on my way to becoming a Ranger with specialization in firearms. And since I'm a scientist and I dabble in medicine, I'd probably reject the supernatural element of my being transported into Ravenloft right off the bat and end up in some sort of mental asylum due to my brain breaking.

How interesting - I'm in the process of writing a journal style short story about what would happen if I ended up in Ravenloft. Might actually try to do some more work on it now.

Just off the top of my head, if I could stay alive, I'd probably be something akin to a lamp-lighter in Mordent. Course, not many people would warm up to me there .....

1st level Rogue with 90% of my skill points spent between Knowlege: Comic books, Knowledge: Horror movies, Knowlege: Internet porn...not in that order.

Im going for Mordentshire town drunk. With skills in Craft (Illustrator & Photoshop) and knowledge: geography when sober, and an unhealthily high rank in Knowledge: Vampires.

Heh.... knowing me, I'd probably try for some kind of controlled plan to turn myself into a powerful and near-immortal creature. Maybe get bitten by a vamp twenty-four hours before the hired adventurers kill said vamp.

Now whether I *succeed* or not is a different question entirely.

I'd be like myself in real life: a level 16 Wizard with a permanent spell that makes everyone think I'm not a wizard but just a student.

Probably either a Bard, or an Expert working towards the Alienist PrC.
And knowing my current and previous employment, I'd either end up dropped in the Nightmare Lands with Dr.Illhousen, or stuck with Dr.Dominiani

I would like to become a lich and thus be able to prosecute law suits forever without them being able to starve the litigation process.

Also, being a lich means I'd finally have enough time to get caught up on all my reading.

Probly be a low level expert or progandist who will have to use my knowledge to secure a place of power and access to more knowledge.

I'd probably be a low level expert.
I'd say I have the following skills at a pretty useful level:

-Knowledge [Nature, Geography, History, Monster Lore, etc], Heal, Survival, Move Silently, Hide, Spot, Search-

I am familiar with firearms, including flintlocks. This could be very useful. I'd definitely get a rifle or musket ASAP.

I think I'd like Richemulot. It's got pretty countryside, rivers, wilderness regions, black powder firearms, sewers!![ offal-choked streets are gross and unhealthy], plenty of fixer-upper houses, and cool ruins!

I could make some money in Richemulot by selling secrets and 'inventions' [ for example: working with local craftsmen to reverse engineer some improvements in firearms, or introducing variolation or inoculation for certain diseases].
Delight is to him- a far, far upward, and inward delight- who against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever stands forth his own inexorable self.

Like Ewan, I would probably become an inventor. Maybe moe to Lamordia and help Mordenheim a bit. I might just as well try to bridge the gap between Raines' church, and the southern Tepestians that worship Belenus.

In short:

Expert 3

Skills: Knowledge (History, Religion), Craft (Alchemy, Gunsmithing, Weaponsmithing, Mechanics), Decipher Script, Disable Device, Suvival, Diplomacy.
