Version 1.1 ©2021 Wizards of the Coast LLC. Permission granted to print and photocopy this document for personal use only. This document corrects and clarifies some text in Curse of Strahd. These changes appear in recent printings of the book. When updates are added to this document, its version number increases, and the word “New” appears before the latest changes. Introduction [New] Plea for Help (p. 19). In the sixth paragraph of the boxed text, “gypsy” has been changed to “man.” Chapter 1 Vistani (p. 26). The first three sentences of this section have been replaced with the following text: “The Vistani (singular: Vistana) are wanderers, traveling about in horse-drawn, barrel-topped wagons, which they build themselves. Compared to Barovians, they are flamboyant, dressing in bright clothes and laughing often.” Vistani (p. 27). In the final paragraph of this section, the third and fourth sentences have been replaced with the following text: “The Vistani are quick to act when their lives or traditions are threatened and are merciless when they believe they must be.” Vistani Bandits (p. 32). The first sentence after the boxed text has been replaced with the following text: “These Vistani servants of Strahd march through the Barovian wilderness, laughing and telling ghost stories.” Chapter 2 [New] Vistani Thugs (p. 52). “NE male and female humans” is now “NE male and female human thugs.” Chapter 5 Victor’s Workroom (p. 110). The cantrips acid splash and mending have been removed from Victor’s spellbook. Rictavio’s Carnival Wagon (p. 115). In the second paragraph after the boxed text, “hunt evil Vistani” has been changed to “hunt Strahd’s Vistani servants.” The sentence that starts “The tiger recognizes …” has also been deleted. Kasimir’s Hovel (p. 121). The cantrip ray of frost has been removed from Kasimir’s spellbook. N9c. Vistani Tent (p. 121). In the paragraph immediately following the boxed text, “Luvash is so drunk that he has disadvantage on his attack rolls and ability checks,” has been replaced with the following text: “Luvash is the older of the two and the brother whom the other Vistani fear most.” Appendix A Haunted One (p. 209). In the “Skill Proficiencies” subsection, you can now choose two options instead of one. In the “Languages” subsection, you can now choose two languages, one of which is exotic. Additionally, common clothes and 1 sp have been added to the list in the “Equipment” subsection. [New] Gothic Trinkets (p. 210). On the Trinkets table, in the 67–68 entry, the word “ferule” has been changed to “ferrule.” Appendix D [New] Tree Blight (p. 230). In the stat block, the tree blight’s hit points are now 92 (8d12 + 40). [New] Ezmerelda d’Avenir (p. 231). The section called “Ezmerelda’s Secret” is now called “Ezmerelda’s Prosthetic.” Additionally, the final sentence is now “She has since adapted well to the prosthetic appendage.” Strahd von Zarovich (p. 240). In the stat block, “Unarmed Strike (Vampire Form Only)” has been changed to “Unarmed Strike (Vampire or Wolf Form Only),” and in the unarmed strike, “bludgeoning” has been changed to “slashing.” Additionally, “Bite (Bat or Vampire Form Only)” has been changed to “Bite.” Curse of Strahd Errata
