[QUOTE="Oogar, post: 18150, member: 541"] I have a fighter / rogue who has been pestering my party for the last few levels. I always wanted some kind of continuing bad like that when I was playing, I thought that it would be nice to give my party something like it. At least one of them does not like it. I don't fudge rolls, I have him run very early in a fight, as soon as he gets close to half life. He hires people, and is pretty smart about tactics. I have many ideas for him, but am ready to have him killed if my party is clever enough. He started with above average equipment for the level I created him (Cloak of the Mountebank), but is getting close to balanced money-wise. He is a big figure in a reasonable sized town's (3000 people) thieving operation. The party has accidentally, and intentionally crossed him a few times. Unfortunately he has started to occupy a great portion of the PC's attention. Can you think of any clever ways to de-emphasize him without having the "Final Battle"? I am thinking of having him hauled off by the larger guild from a bigger city,for his failures in Haven, the base of the PCs at this time. Or just having the other masters of the local guild turning on him, and running him out of town. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
