[QUOTE="Tangent Loki, post: 4116389, member: 20209"] [b]'Pimp my rakshasa'[/b] First he needs his voice. what does he sound like. Is the mad voice nails on chalkboard, his eyes glint with a light not their won and he moves in a jerky fashion, using his innate resistance to magic to great effect? it the other cool calm and collected with a voice like a growling lion? As for a challenge, he does not have to be so challenging in combat to be impressive. Use the gnolls frequently. A low level gnoll scouting party comes to kill the Pc's and maybe one or two are instructed to save the PC's at any cost. It's possible that to get to him you will have to fight through a sprawling mountain fastness, with corridors long etched by the blood of ancients. Intricate traps woven trhoutout the design, himself in a throne in the center channeling ancient powers at the whims of his master pandonym. these corridors are populates with hordes of gnolls. Some altered by foul magics far beyond their more 'normal' kin. Freqently place antimagic fields throughout the dungeon, which is why he has escpaed detection and even intervention by gods. (plus anti-magic fields should help knock down casting making hordes of gnoll potnetially very scary.) make sure there ar eplenty, give some class-levels, this is a world spanning pot is it not. It is possible whiole under-control that even as they fight him two groups of gnolls have been dispatched, or several armies. to burn and lay waste the other small groups? to bring about the end of the world by opening a gate to the lower hells, or inviting hextor or eryhtnuul through to the prime. the second is supposed to stop the first. Now the pc's have to race to solve this other problem. but teleport isn't available (anti-magic remember?) and Your Rahshasa Gil'Thannon the Mad pulls a level next to his throne and starts the central chamber sealing itself off. Causing puzzle solving fun to be necessary. or somthing like that. but I dont tend to use rakshasa's so much. also make sure he has something unique. Like a talking skull of a long dead king or something. flavor you know? Flavor. edit whoops. you have a name already. i append Sylar the Black. [/QUOTE]
