[QUOTE="Psion, post: 299058, member: 172"] This has a lot of appeal to me. Sort of a divide and conquer. The villain relies on his henchmen to do a lot of his dirty work, but doesn't entrust (or cannot entrust) his minions with enough power to stop the PCs when he is not around. A quick distraction could dismantle his plans, though if the villain is truly staggering in power, this may not be sufficient to permanently deal with him. Hmmm. Galdalf doesn't count? :) This has a lot of appeal. Instead of the explicit weakness, the characters can try to make a weakness/use trickery. Puts it in a slightly different realm. But sometimes, getting players to seek weaknesses without prodding can be a bit tough. [/QUOTE]
