This, I believe, is where Wizards’ statement that the adventure goes to level 10 comes from. The milestones suggested as examples in the book itself are bolded below. If you're running more "by the book" you may want to add in another milestone if you also want your PCs to have the potential to be 14th (or even 15th) level when they face Strahd. Keep in mind that I started the PCs at 3rd level, and they gained 4th level after completing Death House (the book suggests starting PCs at 1st level and they gain level 3 at the end of Death House). Examples given are lighting the beacon at Arynvostholt, thwarting the druid ritual on Yester Hill, and forging an alliance with Ezmerelda.īelow are the milestones I’m planning to use for my Curse of Strahd campaign. The example given are the hags in Old Bonegrinder.Īccomplishing Story Goals. Defeating the featured antagonist(s) in an area.
I didn’t want PCs to gain two levels at once, so if one of the artifacts is in a particular location, I don’t also give them a milestone for achieving the main goal in that location or defeating the main bad guy.ĭefeating Villains.

Recovering each of the artifacts of the campaign is a milestone (the Sunsword, Tome of Strahd and Holy Symbol of Ravenkind).
We are given the following guidelines for our milestones in the book (page 6):įinding Artifacts.

If, however, you have a player who is chronically absent, then you could judge if that PC participated enough to gain a level when each milestone is reached. Because of this, I recommend keeping all the PCs the same level and not worrying if a given player misses a session or two.
