[QUOTE="invokethehojo, post: 5455284, member: 62525"] For my money I would say this is how to do it: make the final fight impossible to win unless someone sacrifices themselves. As the fight goes on the PC's start to realize they cannot win (maybe they almost kill the BBG, but then he regenerates somehow, and the PC's know they don't have enough resources to wittle him back down). You will have to come up with some kind of interesting scenario where this option becomes evident during or right before the fight. A few suggestions (all these ideas imply that one or more PC's would have to die in order for them to be fulfilled) - the fight takes place in some kind of area that could be collapsed or destroyed by the efforts of the party, which would kill the BBG. - one of the PC's powerful magic items can be broken (maybe it gets damaged a little earlier on), releasing the powerful magic within, killing the BBG - a magic source exists in the battlefield (portal, ley line, summoning circle). this power can be channeled or destroyed, unleashing great energy, but killing the one who does this. - Diablo I ending: BBG soul is trapped inside a PC, who then must be die or be twisted by the evil inside him. - A PC could strike a killing blow, but the only way to get to the weak spot would surely bring death (getting swallowed or similar) [/QUOTE]
