[QUOTE="Tinker Gnome, post: 1435901, member: 15608"] Okay, I know you are all sick of me constantly asking for help. But i am going to keep doing it. :p Second of all, I come up with the best ideas when I am taking a shower. :cool: Okay, here is the BBEG. He is basically a Teccnomage from a society that had highly advanced technology, so much so that much of it was like magic. As in the case of himself. Appearance wise he has long black hair, wears a long dark robe, and is rather feminine looking for a man. Here is my first idea. The party encounters an entourage of soliders trying to kill him, they have a Wizard cast a MDJ on him, but he mealry smirks and "casts" a huge fireball that wipes out everyone except the PCs. He looks at them, and gives them the classic evil BBEG smirk, and then teleports away. The second way is this. He has his own pocket dream dimension, and he calls the Halfing Paladin of Lathander in my group to him during a dream. His dream dimension resembles a meadow with many flowers flaoting in space, he is satnding with his back to the Halfing when he arrives. He then tells the Halfing that the gods of his world care nothing for him, and that they are all weak compared to him. That he truly has the Halflings best interest in mind. He offers to grant the Halfing his Paladin abilities, instaed of Lathander. The Halfing does not have to accept right away, he just teels him to think about him as he goes to sleep, if he wants to see him again. If the halfling does accet his power, then I am going to show him a tangibe result of it. The party will encounter a VERY large band of Orcs. Oh, let me explain, we have this thing where you can pray to your god, and then you roll a percentile, usually only 90+ gets you anything. Well, no matter what the Halfling rolls, all the orcs will be anilhilated by beams of sunlight. Making it look like a blessingfrom Lathander. But it was really the Technomage who did it. As tehir travles progress the Technomage will ask the halfing to do things more and more against he code. When the Halfing refuses, he will bring him back to the drema dimension and appear to be crying, and say that he truly does have his best interest in mind. That is all I have for now, but what do you guys and gals think. Sorry for any typos. EDIT: Oh yeah, the BBEG is a Human. [/QUOTE]
