05-18-04, 02:59 PM Has anyone thought to run a Castlevania campaign (besides me) using the new UA rules? For instance, make a Belmont Bloodline, have the Vampire Killer be a Legendary Weapon tied to the Battle Scion class, and maybe some of the Belmonts (depending on how powerful they are) start off as Paragons. There are other optional rules you can use (such as the Vampire Bloodline for Alucard [if he's in your campaign], etc...), but I thought I'd throw it out there to see what you all have thought.

And yes, I have done all of the above stuff (still needs some tweeking, though. ;) ) Suggestions are welcome.

But I like your ideas...I'd like to see them more fleshed out.

I am just wondering what kind of way would be best to describe the main bloodline of spellcasters of the series (forget the family name) that often helps the Belmonts. Sorcerer might work, but the fact that they can summon up magic missles at will somewhat defeats that...
