[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7330030, member: 6803337"] - BBEG is actually Small size, and some of his toughness is due to the fact that he can make you come after him in single file down a narrow hallway. - BBEG is big and strong enough to turn any sort of building into a throwing weapon - such as a cottage/bomb or a tower/javelin - BBEG creates his own terrain, which hinders melee-artist PCs, and doesn't mind retreating back a few steps sometimes. - BBEG has an aura that makes PCs want to not get TOO close. This could range from [I]Whispers of Suggestion/Enthrall[/I] to an infectious disease to Skunk Odor. - BBEG is insubstantial and just walks through walls if the PCs try to hide in the next room - BBEG can Rage like a barbarian, to get more mileage out of his HP supply - BBEG has a Sneak Attack -like Nova capability - BBEG has already prepped the battlefield with spells like [I]Permanent Guards and Wards[/I] before the PCs arrive. (The longer they take to get there, the thicker his preparations.) - BBEG has already prepped the battlefield with traps and other mechanical hindrances before the PCs arrive. - BBEG stays someplace where the PCs cannot kite him or engage in an artillery duel; they have to get up close in a confined space. Maybe he locks everybody in the room with him and swallows the key? - BBEG likes extreme weather conditions (Thor's thunderstorm / hurricane? Blizzard? Heat Wave?) - BBEG likes extreme terrain; could be Quicksand Swamp or a Cliff Face [/QUOTE]
