I’m a big fan of running it in my Curse of Strahd games. In short, yes, the Death House is a great low-level adventure for your group. People either absolutely love it or hate it!

In any discussion about this dungeon, most people tend to fall pretty firmly into one of two camps. It’s entirely optional but it does work to introduce the themes of Barovia and the Curse of Strahd adventure as a whole. The infamous Death House serves as a type of introductory mystery/dungeon to the Curse of Strahd adventure module.
#CURSE OF STRAHD DEATH HOUSE FULL#
plate armor is ac 18, can make 20 with a shield, so sure lots of the lower lvl enemies will find it hard to scratch at them, but barovia isn't full of low level enemies, it's full of vampire spawns & hags, berserkers that give themselves advantage & werewolves immune to normal weapons. I understand the instinct to keep stronger loot from your players at lower levels, but honestly any nonmagical equipment from the phb is not going to make your pcs op. Could he reasonably take the armor, fit it, and wear it? Is it possible to repurpose Animated Armor? He has smithing tools and has repaired the armor with Mend. However, I didn't think giving him a set of plate at level 1 was wise and I'm not sure if I did the right thing. He can wear plate, and he honestly put in a good effort at restoring it. I am torn on this interaction between the suit and my Cleric. He seemed disappointed and moved onwards.Īfter encountering the children and finding the secret staircase, they explored one crypt, became spooked and ran upstairs for a rest, thus ending session 1.

I waffled at this and let him cast the spell, restoring the suit to its standing capacity, however I implied that it was too large for his Dwarven frame to fit. They soundly beat the Animated Armor and immediately, my War Cleric wanted to cast Mend on the suit and try it on. They defeated the Specter after it whiffed its attack. My players have made it to the dungeon below the Death House with nary a scratch on them.
