A Look at the New Ez, Van Richten & Madam Eva Stat Blocks from Ravenloft: The Horrors Within (5.5E)

In the new Ravenloft 5.5E sourcebook / setting book - Ravenloft: The Horrors Within - there are new and updated stat blocks for three important Curse of Strahd (and wider Ravenloft) NPCs: Ezmerelda (Ez) d'Avenir, Rudolph van Richten and Madam Eva. Van Richten is essentially D&D's answer to Dracula's Van Helsing; Ez is one of his protégés; and Madam Eva is a powerful Vistani seer and fortune-teller. In this video I talk about the new stat blocks and compare them to the old ones from CoS, which followed the original 2014/5E rules. I also talk about how I'd run these new ones in combat. #Ravenloft #CurseofStrahd 00:00 Intro 00:38 Ezmerelda (Ez) d'Avenir 09:06 Rudolph van Richten 14:52 Madam Eva 21:26 Outro Follow me on Bluesky! https://bsky.app/profile/dmofthemists...
