If the PCs fight the BBEG on the first encounter, you're not going to get a good BBEG. BBEG's are difficult and rewarding task of a DM to create. You plant seeds of them early in a campaign or path and let it marinate. Heck, in my current campaign, the PCs, after two years, just met several of the senior minions of the BBEG. So scared they are of the BBEG that even though they were going to attack one of the senior minions strongholds, they spent up the wazoo to prepare. You have to make the pcs anticipate the upcoming battle so that when or lose, they have a good time.</blockquote>
