Here's a few concept BBEGs I haven't statted out and don't plan on using. Mostly posting this for ideas, both for myself and for others.
1. The Hextomb Bound (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=gaming;action=display;num=1152820273 )
This one requires six BBEGs, though the most frightening I've thought up is the following:
1. Hextomb Bound Psion/Thrallherd
Basically has the army of thralls, plus the army of undead that comes with being a Hextomb Bound.
2. Hextomb Bound Animal Trainer (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=homebrew;action=display;num=11543012 29;start=)
This uses a base class I came up with, but it works along similar lines of the thrallherd, just an army of animals instead of undead.
3. Hextomb Bound Cleric/Wizard
Specialize in necromancy. If you have the DMG-II, look in the NPCs section for the Undead Master. Add the Hextomb Bound template and enjoy.
4, 5, and 6 can be pretty much anything else.
2. The Loonie
Start with a gnome wizard. Make him a cartogramancer (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=gaming;action=display;num=1152678721 ;start=). Give him some dangerous artifact. Make him a hermit and a sociopath. Add severe paranoia, shake well, and serve.
3. The Steam-powered Army
Toss together any number of the following and enjoy: Cyaegha Steambeast (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=homebrew;action=display;num=11546420 15;start=0#0), Gleiphir Steam Titan (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=homebrew;action=display;num=11545848 56;start=0#0), Steamdraken (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=homebrew;action=display;num=11544070 54;start=0#0), Steamknight (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=homebrew;action=display;num=11544013 80;start=0#0), and Cheval (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=homebrew;action=display;num=11543924 77;start=0#0).
More if I brainstorm more later.
