I haven't quite decided.So, my question here is... what type of feats are good?  I expect the PCs to fight this guy at least twice in the campaign - the first time, he'll have lackeys (so he can use those dragon auras...), while the second time, I'm hoping the fight will be mano et mano.  The goal is to create an enemy who, at around 6th level, will challenge the dwarven PC but at the same is set up so that he will eventually die (but it will be a close call).Anyone have rules suggestions for this guy?  What about tips for staging these encounters?  I know my players fairly well;  they should play along with the "grudge match" idea, and love me for setting up.  (and yes, I realize it steals the spotlight from the other players, but one player pretty much hogs the spotlight already, and the other player would rather sit in the background and gets self-conscious when the spotlight is directly on her, so I'm leaving her out of this).</blockquote>
