Their treasures are merely pretty baubles they have found on the bodies of their victims, objects they mindlessly play with when otherwise unoccupied. Because of their love for beautiful places, these spirits usually enjoy springs, running water in natural surroundings, and unspoiled woodlands. They react only to their own desires and whims, ignoring all else but their victims unless they are attacked or detected. Lhiannan shee are solitary and never found working in partnership with any other being, living or undead. Bards whisper of such creatures with a mixture of muted fear and a death-wish desire. Because of its seductive nature, however, its victims would often trade their fate with no other. Like many undead, the lhiannan shee is ultimately motivated to destroy those who fall into its hands. It is thought to be the undead spirit of a woman who killed herself for the unrequited love of a bard or other artistically talented and desirable, but unobtainable or callous man. The lhiannan shee looks like a stunningly beautiful female human, elf, or half-elf. Rare in the extreme, the lhiannan shee (LAN-an SHE) is an undead vampiric spirit with an affinity for men of high Charisma and strong poetic ability – bards. Without any further ado, here are three old Ravenloft monsters from second edition converted in Fifth Edition monsters.
While I like the Fifth Edition version found in Curse of Strahd, my love for Ravenloft first came in second edition and later in third edition when White Wolf had the rights.
I think the setting has a cool atmosphere, awesome monsters, and some great mechanics. DM Dave 3 Comments on 3 New Monsters for Your Ravenloft Campaigns | Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition Posted in MonstersĬall me corny, but I’ve always loved Ravenloft.
