Who are the BBEGs of your World?

[megamania]

I run several Eberron games and many of my BBEG are actually Neutral and either don't know what they are doing is evil or don't really care. This would be Kim Elderich the richest dwarf on/in the world.

Other emerging villians rising to the forfront of being BBEG include:

Darkwynd The Beautiful Lover
Huge Black Dragon that has 100's of children and enjoys going to the plane of battles to "let loose". He is using a portal within the dragon lands which is forbidden for use. The PCs accidently discovered it and blew his cover. After he finishes explaining himself to the Council of Wyrms he will be seeking the PCs along with his children and allies from the plane of battle.

A weakened version of Orcus has recently been released from his prison. He will be an issue for a future group.

The same prison held another fiend that will play a part in my next campaign called The Chaos Effect.

Speaking of Chaos Effect- I will be introducing someone that has mentally fractured with the destruction of Cyre and has gathered allies to "punish" the world (5 nations) for doing this act of evil. He will cause war, famine and a LOT of chaos by time he is done. I am really looking forward to this campaign.

 

[Ruined]

Reaching the end of my Scarred Lands campaign, the last BBEG truly left is Aggamar. He's one of the foremost servants of the forgotten titan Gulaben, last seen during the Divine War 150+ years ago. He's been trapped inside an icy prison slumbering all that time, but recent events have awoken him. The PCs carry the artifact Globe he wielded when last defeated, now the key to his prison. He cannot escape until it is destroyed, but he's using it as a focus to bring about an eternal winter. By freezing the world, he will bring about a new Epoch and hopefully release and restore his titan master to her full glory.

His last seen form was that of a powerful frost giant; indeed, the frost giants have heeded his call and are marching against the northern settlements already. But when encountered in battle at some point, he will shed this for his true form, that of an ancient white dragon. (all the more important in Scarred Lands, because I run with the 'dragons are long gone' angle.)

Ruined,

NICE! I like that angle. Maybe you should consider merging that with a Frostwrack Dragon in some way. You know two headed white dragon (one head white, the other frostwrack)

Just an idea.

 

[Cthulhudrew]

This guy:



(Okay, not really, but I've thought it would be cool to run a d20 Modern campaign with Sho 'Nuff as a villain.)

 

[Nightfall]

I'll settle for someone like Serperioh(sp) or Naraku.

 

[Kunimatyu]

My games have a few.

Rhafsjani, a Rakshasa wielding extremely potent sorcery. A master of rays and illusions, his greatest strength -- and weakness -- was the time and energy he spent tormenting and decieving mortals. Ever the cunning tricker, he lured a group of people he tricked into destroying Sharn, the City of Towers, to Lammania, the Twilight Forest, one of Eberron's thirteen planes. There, surrounded by the ruins of the extraplanar capital of the rakshasa race, he faced the mortals whose lives he destroyed, and drew upon their hatred for his own ends. He died in that place, but such a powerful evil spirit, strengthed by the hate and pain of those that slew him, could not be destroyed so easily.

He turned upon the karmic wheel for a time, and was reborn as Menijhad, a white-furred ak'chazaar rakshasa of near godlike power. He attempted to drain the severely-weakened Silver Flame after a powerful conflict, but was himself overcome when one of the mortals he faced called upon their lord and master, the Grand Sultan of All the Efreet, Potentate Incandescent, lord of the plane of Fernia. As part of the payment for the mortal's servitude, the Sultan imprisoned the near-rajah within the burning confines of the Obsidian Fortress within the City of Brass. Once a consummate torturer of mortals, Menijhad, once Rhafsjani, exists forever in eternal torment both spiritual and physical, due to the actions of a mortal.

Maledon, called the Bloodlord, was an ogre of impressive parentage. His mother, who displayed a level of cunning unheard of in an ogre, challenged a pit fiend of the Wastes to a game of chance. If she won, the son in her womb would be touched by the power of Khyber and gain powers undreamt of by man and ogre alike. Whether due to a twist of fate, her innate cunning, or perhaps the meddling of the Traveler, the devil lost. Smiling, the creature granted the ogre her wish.

The ogress screamed and spasmed, and the baby chewed its way out of its dying mother, ignorant of her fate. As the pit fiend gazed at the tiny ogre, it noticed dark, almost scaly skin, tiny, membranous wings, but the feature that caused the mighty baatezu to crack a smile was the way the small creature eagerly licked the blood and gore from its lips. The pit fiend left soon after, leaving the small ogre to fend for itself.

Maledon would resurface later, in the Lhazaar Principalities. Trained in the dark ways of the Blood of Vol -- some say by the half-breed lich herself -- Maledon became a force in his own right. When serving the will of Vol, he often commanded Emerald Claw troops into battle; it was his succesful use of these troops that enabled him to remove the previous occupants of an obscure lighthouse fortress built into a small rocky isle in the Principalities.

Unfortunately for Maledon, he met his end atop the fortress, protecting the exit of a powerful blue dragon seeking asylum with Vol from the Argonessen. Though his massive blood-draining falchion Ravager struck true against many of his foes, and though his deadly Red Gloves of Blood enabled him to drain the lifeforce from his critically wounded enemies, Maledon was overwhelmed, and plummeted to a cold watery death after being overcome by sheer numbers.

However, a sorcerous curse placed upon the mighty half-fiend ogre would cause him to become a threat yet again...

If you are looking for ideas I have posted a good section of mine here:
Amazing's Character Collection

Personally my favorite BBEG was a Half-dragon (white) with enough fighter levels/War hulk levels to give him a 76 strength made him great as a scare you character 1 hit did 80 damage with out a roll damage with a scythe made it easy not to screw up.

 

[Corsair]

1) A goblin wolfrider who referred to himself as Prince Mon. I had really hoped he would have lived to have become a recurring villain, but alas he was killed by action points early on.

Does Mon lead a group of goblin raiders?

 

[Phanboy]

Wasn't the original thread the debut of Big Irv the Ogre Perv? You know the One Gauntlet wearing, Halfling accosting fool that he was?

 

[Nightfall]

Uhm let's keep that one to ourselves...
