[QUOTE="dvvega, post: 2507630, member: 524"] I'm not going to create a character for you, since it really should be a personal thing, however I will give these suggestions... Of the items you listed, the one that stood out most (to me) was #3. #1 can easily be achieved with a template, or summoning, or other thing that isn't hard to design. #2 can be achieved with spells or magic. #4 and #5 are just a power thing. #3 is where your meat is going to sit. The first thing I thought of was either a Shadow Mind (Complete Adventurer) or a Mind Bender (Complete Arcane). I may have the names wrong for those prestige classes, but they're in the books. The mind bender is my favourite because it really focuses on dominating "the help". The BBEG would be an Enchanter with Spell Focus (Enchantment) and Great Spell Focus as well. Completely devoted to mind control. If you want to go the fiendish blood route, use a template - if you want to go with the association route, summoning spells help, planar ally spells, gate, you get the idea. However it would be more logical if besides being a Mind Bender he would have some kind of PrC related to demons. Book of Vile Deeds has a good selection, or you could make him into that PrC that wears a demonic skin (?name). For the shadowy appearance, I would use a modified Blur spell. Instead of making him appear blurry, he appears shadowy. D [/QUOTE]
