My players shall now proceed to ignore this thread. Shoo!
I'm presently DMing a campaign that started at 1st level (presently at 2nd, nearly at 3rd), and I'm in need of build advice for some of the BBEGs that I'm presently envisioning.
My players are capable of optimisation, however they seem to have not done so this time around (that may change later). Regardless, these villains should pose challenges for the party at the appropriate level, so that the fights would be challenging and not a piece of cake for either the players or the villains.
As for sources, all books open save for things from Dragon magazines.
Specifically, I'm asking for class/feat/skill (and possibly equipment) selections for these three:
#1 LE Sharakim (Races of Destiny) Lich Arcanist. The main BBEG, and I'm thinking of wizard, however I'm absolutely stumped when it comes to what sort of wizard build would be best, bearing in mind he should be able to solo a party of four to five PCs who are probably going to be a couple of levels lower than him.
#2 LE Half-Elf* Noblewoman. I'm thinking of a Gish build of some sort, I did consider Sorcadin but I'm not sure if it works for the character or not. She will be supported by several mooks, so her build doesn't need to be capable of holding out on her own against the party. I'm thinking of Archer of some sort, with magic mixed in. (there was a fascinating build for the Arcane Archer that someone posted at one point, I forgot whom though.)
*Race chosen because it fits the story, not for optimisation, I will most likely refuse to change the race should anyone suggest it. :smallwink:
#3 NE Yak Folk Ur-Priest. Assuming the info here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85318) is used as the base with which to work with. All I really want is for this character to qualify for the Ur-Priest and be able to take it all the way to the end. Soloing the party is probably how he will be fought, though he might have a Djinni slave as help.
Any and all help appreciated, thanks. :smallsmile:
