Momanatrix’s Musings: Character Creation

I am about to be a player in a new D&D campaign and I’m very excited, but also a very conflicted. I’m not sure what class to play. I usually just go for the spell caster types, in the past I’ve been a Warlock, a Sorcerer and I made a Mage once that I never got to play. I also played a Slayer once for a very short time and it was a blast. I am currently playing a Knight in our Ravenloft campaign...

Belmorn: Minotaur Paladin for Castle Ravenloft

I’m completely obsessed with the Castle Ravenloft board game, and if you read my previous post then you know what this one is all about! If not then you should know I’m going to be creating custom additional classes for play with the game, starting with this Paladin.

I’m hoping this first one came out as professionally as I’d hoped so please let me know what you think of the of the design and overall quality of my work. Get out there and playtest this bad boy!

Those of you wondering “why a Minotaur paladin” it’s because I didn’t want to add a 3rd human or 2nd dwarf into the mix and I thought this would put a unique 4e twist on things, being that that’s the spirit of the game and all. You can hit the “keep reading” jump for the full profile and there is also a downloadable version (PDF) over in the Downloads section of the site so please share and enjoy!

So this Sunday happens to be the season finale of Trueblood on HBO, and right now you may be wondering “well what the hell does that have to do with D&D, and why am I reading this?”and in fact it has a lot to do with it, at least in my world.

I take a lot of inspiration for my D&D games from movies, games, and television – particularly from the horror genre as it’s my favorite, and my gaming group regularly gets together to watch this show before our D&D game.

So I’m inviting my group over early for a day of vampires and good times and I figure what better way to kick that day off than with a game of Castle Ravenloft! Problem is, my group of friends including myself totals to six, and Ravenloft being a DM-less game only accommodates for 5 players.
