[QUOTE="Moon-Lancer, post: 3468026, member: 35798"] thanks. So you mean something like the movie momento? im willing to let this bbeg have the power to do anything that makes him function as described above. I want to see the look on the players faces when they realize that for the entire campaign they have been doing what he expected them to do. Its sort of a commentary about free will. I was thinking about the last fight, and Even thought he wishes to die, He still has to fight them, with his full power or he might seem like committing suicide. I dont want it to be suicide by cop though. I have two views 1 he can die, but if he dies under his own hand, he goes someplace he would rather not. I was thinking about the last fight, and even though he wishes to die, He still has to fight them, with his full power or he might seem like committing suicide. I don't want it to be suicide by cop though. 2 He cant die, and an artifact needs to be used to kill him. He cant use the artifact on himself and can't directly order anyone to use it on him. thats why he needs to distance himself from his executioner. Whats nice about this scenario, is the bbeg in his guise as helping them, tell them they need x artifact to defeat the great evil when he in fact is the great evil. I really want to creat a two face. the first is the ancent who helps the adventures through thick or thin, and the second face is the great evil that threatens the world. They are one in the same but the great evil will only be directly seen in the last session or second to last session. I guess it will be like sarumon in lotr only much more involveing and the ruse carried untill the end. What would you do if you knew it was the bbeg plans to have you kill him? [/QUOTE]
