What sets apart the DA is that recruitment can mean a level up for the player characters, but that’s up to DM interpretation. This is problematic for NPCs who can be one-shot by Strahd or his minions.Ī character selected as the Destined Ally often becomes easier to recruit, but the players could reasonably recruit most of the characters on this list if they play their cards right. Strahd will sense that the DA is a danger to him, so he’ll seek to eliminate the threat as quickly as possible. How Does a Character Change when Becoming Strahd’s Enemy? The NPC selected in the card reading becomes extraordinary, and any details from the card reading will take precedence over the NPC’s usual activities, attitudes, etc.
One of the cards will reveal Strahd’s Enemy, a Destined Ally for your players to recruit on their quest to defeat Strahd or escape Barovia. Madam Eva is typically the fortune teller in this event, though the module implies that Ezmerelda could do it (some homebrew that Arabelle could, too). The tarokka deck reading is an iconic aspect of Curse of Strahd that identifies the locations and identities of important treasures and people for your players to interact with. I believe this is the common vernacular of CoS enthusiasts. The book technically refers to this character as Strahd’s Enemy, but I’ll use Destined Ally (DA) for my terminology. What Are Destined Allies in Curse of Strahd? “Interesting, indeed…” muses Madam Eva with a smirk. Several cards in, the fourth card, the one closest to the fortune’s recipients, flips to reveal a friend and ally to be made in Barovia. As the party awaits their collective destiny to unfold, a sense of dread fills the tent, and a gust licks at their ankles. Madame Eva’s tent swirls with smoke as she reveals the cards to the would-be adventurers. **Spoiler warning for the Curse of Strahd adventure module for D&D 5e** Featured art image for Curse of Strahd Destined Ally Rankings credit to Wizards of the Coast’s D&D 5e adventure book Curse of Strahd.ĭisclaimer: This article contains affiliate links that add gold to our coffers.
