My current party has lost 2 players and they need replacing. I'll take up to 2 people, but definately one person. The current party is a Warlock, a cleric and a mystic. They lost a Sorceror and a Paladin.
Here is the current gameplay thread
You would begin play at level 5.
Personally I'd rather any new player roll up a native of Barovia so we don't have to figure out some reason why they showed up. There are several NPC's that can be played as PC's or you can roll a Barovian/Vistani/Dusk Elf PC that isn't listed in the Curse of Strahd book.
Let me know if you are interested and we can hash out all that stuff.
Would you be open to having someone who has never played 5e before? Is there a list of NPCs your party has met/befriended yet, or can I choose any of them?
There is a list
Ireena Kolyana
Ismark Kolyanavich
Any one of a number of Martikovs
The PC's also "befriended" the traveler Rictavio and any new PC could be an acquaintance of him.
Here is the basic stats for my submission..I will update it, but just wanted to get it in for you to see. Thanks
Daniel
Howdy Niles! I don't have many oppoetunities to play 5e around where I live and so I try whenever a game pops up in the Forums.
That said, and even if I know the system, I am not familiar with the Adventure and as such would need to either ask you about the NPCs or do some research regarding them.
Finally, I favor martials but judging by your three remaining PCs and Daniel's mention of submitting a paladin I guess some more muscle wouldn't hurt.
Anyway, I'll return soon with at least some concept and to check your answer.
P.s.- 5e is pretty streamlined but I guess it won't hurt if I am to go with the basic array for stats or any point buy, as well as starting wealth and such.
Re: stat array and wealth Yes standard array or normal pb from the PHB. Also normal starting wealth
I´m interested.
Need to look up Barovia a bit first before making a submission.
what is "normal starting wealth?"
5e does not (as far as I know) have provision for buying magic items nor do I know of a typical WBL chart anywhere.
5E has the option to roll for starting wealth or take the PHB standard items. That's what I meant Edward.
@Daniel Stewart Yes both would make sense and be an easy add.
I would like to withdraw my interest. I still want to play in this adventure, but I feel that playing as a Barovian native from mid-level would require the level of understanding of the system and the setting above what I have now. Good luck to the group!
I'm interested.
Are stats being rolled or is it point buy?

Some systems are easy to jump into; I'm honestly not sure how 5e fares on that scale. For the most part, though, Barovia is Transylvania. Easy go go from there!
Also are you using the optional feats rule?
Re:Feats Yes
Re:Stats. This is what we went with at game creation "everyone will use the standard array OR roll 4d6 drop the lowest method of stat building. (If you don't have ANY stat at a 14 after rolling, you can drop your lowest and make it a 14)"
Ok Ozgo is now updated with a background that I hope will fit. Take a look and tell me if anything needs changing or adding to. Thanks
Yes I am still looking for another PC.
Here's what I've managed to piece together tonight.
@Flashohol Looks good.
Everyone: I'll be picking one more PC on Friday.
I take it unearthed arcana is OK since there is a mystic
RE:UA Yes, however I reserve the right at any time to withdraw that permission
I would love to go with a dusk elf. Would you allow a female drow? Exceptionally rare to be sure but very fitting to the background and setting.
Err. No not Drow. Dusk Elves are the Elves of Barovia. They have the same stats as normal elves but are darker complected.
Character Sheet
This is the crunch I was able to get done without access to my books, I'm on vacation at the moment.
-Raised by uncles in a monastery.
-Educated in Religion and Arcane.
-Naturally talented at arms.
-Between his physical prowess and formal education he was made Warden of the area.
-Evil militia moved into the area and tried to take over.

-Monastery was over run and set ablaze.
-In his uncle's sanctum was a teleportation circle which his uncle used to send Gottschalk to Barovia.
-While in Barovia he joined the Knights of the Raven.
Ok then, might just have to hit half elf with some dusk for flavor. Have something shortly for you.

Err. No not Drow. Dusk Elves are the Elves of Barovia. They have the same stats as normal elves but are darker complected.
Was this High, Wood or either? I originally built this character as a 'high' elf but research I put in suggested otherwise.
Either.
I'll be picking a new character on Monday.
Ok, sorry for the delay. It's Thursday and I've finally picked a new character. I've sent PM's thanks everyone who showed interest.
Damn, I missed this. If you do decide you wish to have another character in your game, I made this character specifically for Curse of Strahd, but the game I was in ended just as we were resolving the first location. :/
