[QUOTE="Valesin, post: 3293324, member: 24386"] Sigh...I guess it is time for me to answer this question since I am about to do it again tomorrow! All of my campaigns have a smart, beautiful, deceitful female who is a recurring villain. 2 campaigns ago it was a bard who framed the party for murder and turned a city against them...with whom they had to join forces with her to defeat a bigger evil (an ally she was betraying). Last campaign it was a dusk hag whom the party allowed to live in order to get some info they needed...who proceeded to make their lives hell for 7 levels. Tonight I am making up a beguiler spy/information dealer that is awaiting her allies at a predermined place...allies that the party killed and are now heading unawares to the rendezvous. Her primary goal will be escape (with her charmed minions to cover her), and she has powerful people in the gov't in her pocket, so she will also haunt them for a while. I just can't help it! I have tried to make it a male, but it just never works in my head. A man playing the 'damsel in distress' to get the city guards to do her dirty work just doesn't compute, and my favorite villains are the smart ones who have someone else do their dirty work. I don't fudge any rolls to make them escape, but since survival is their number one priority they always have a near-flawless escape plan. I vowed I wasn't going to do it this campaign, but I am weak... [/QUOTE]
