Message: <blockquote data-quote="Glamdring" data-source="post: 251439" data-attributes="member: 4835">I love making home-brewed villians.  If I'm ever bored, or if I'm hit with inspiration, I fire one up.  Some of my most recent include (and my gamers better not do research on them!):"Uldroogosh" - balor fighter5/wizard12.  I gave him a +5 vorpal brilliant energy falchion.  I'll use him when I want to, as I'm wont to say, "Yank the choke collar" on my group.  ;-)  I suppose I'll introduce him when and if the PC's ever stumble upon some dark, forbidden artifact, or manage to destroy a demi-lich or something similar, awakening the balor or drawing him to their position due to some long ago contingency.  This guy is unstoppable."Drisdukuum" - This is my drow arachne10/priestess of Lolth10/wizard5.  Not only does she have a former PC acting as a Zin Carla bodyguard, but she's the head of House Drisdukuum (some drow house situated near the classic Vault), and she rides the underbelly of a huge, hairy spider familiar.  Also, her flesh is covered in chitinous spiders (her armor) that move to augment any damaged areas.  ALSO, she has 6 +3 daggers of venom about her, and the little spiders simply move them to her hands each round for easy use.  I'm not 100% done with her, but I think she's cool."Azhgaerial" - Ancient male green dracolich rogue13.  CR 36, people.  Why the rogue levels?  So he can remain invisible and deliver awful sneak attacks AND critical blow attacks.  Also, I like the improved evasion and uncanny dodge abilities.  He prefers to make his presense known once a nearby green dragon is slain by projecting his reptilian eyes near the scene, using eyebite and his paralyzing gaze to hamper PCs while his lich companion (detailed below) mass teleports ghasts, wights, and mummies to the scene.  He'll be a monstrous final "boss" creature in my Cult of the Dragon angle, and he'll be ridden by....  "Thalazhan" - This is my male human lich cleric of Velsharoon 5/wizard 10/true necromancer 10.  Brilliant boss enemy, and leader of the Dalelands cell of the Cult.  While astride Azhgaerial, this duo will be well-nigh invincible.  I could go on and on about him."Ghrolkoluum" - beholder mage 7.  Has anyone really looked at the beholder mage template?  It's unreal.  This guy can unleash one spell of every level up to 7th in ONE ROUND!  He decided to keep his disintegration and telekinesis eyes intact, so I doubt he'll ever enjoy 8th or 9th level magic.  Perhaps one day, if he survives, I'll bump him up.  He rolls with 4 death tyrants, each of which has no central eye, nor its disintegration or flesh to stone eyes.  They are typically kept invisible, allowing for a devestating surprise round.I make more everyday, and every week my PC's either run from them, or slay them.  My evil NPC group The Dread Six consisted of:"Kettledryn" - male dwarf fighter 12"Hellidor" - male human paladin 6/blackguard of Shar 3"Alagasha" - female human sorcerer 6/shadow adept 5"Dhalbrancha" - male moon elf fighter 6/Order of the Bow 5"Valounge" - male human ranger 5/assassin 6"Ravindrim" - cleric 7/divine disciple of Bane 5The PC's sley Kettledrym (excellent one-on-one battle between him and the party dwarf Grogan), and Valounge (he was overwhelmed after a failed death attack) not long ago, and the others seek vengence.  Lots will happen.  I'm always psyched.  Eh, if anyone has any comments, feel free to drop them.</blockquote>
