Recently, I've come up with a idea for a bbeg that I'll use for a future campaign. But I am having trouble really balancing him out, how should I keep him dangerous but keep it to where the party can defeat him?

My idea for this reality warper bbeg is that he/she started to fuck with a setting's version of reality by having it slowly alter to our version of reality, for example lets say it's a Kill La Kill campaign. If Lady Satsuki tried telling him something from atop her tower, like she does in the anime allot, neither party would be able to hear each other because Satsuki is to far up for either of them to be audible to one another.

Of course, it simply starts off with small shit like that, things that would be minor annoyances, but it would eventually escalate and start pulling shit like "super speed using up tons of calories" or "super strength but no super bone density". Inserting "realistic" consequences for powers and actions where they normally would just operate by the setting's version of "reality". How do I make it to where the party can reasonably defeat him without him/her being a pushover or overpowered?

Reminds me of a Primordial / Yozi.

As for weaknesses, depends on what will make a good campaign - do your players want lots of fight scenes? Perhaps they only encounter the bbeg at the very end and only fight his minions or monsters incidentally created by him.

Do they want secrets, puzzles and roleplaying? the game is about evading and hiding from the BBEG while uncovering his past / how his powers work?

Main thing to focus on is what would make a good game for someone else to play, a cool villian in a bad campaign is useless, and should probably be in a story.

I was originally thinking a little bit of column a, bit of column b. Equal amounts of action and roleplaying. Like the bbeg endangering some innocent bystanders with his fuckery and the party having the options to help them, maybe afterwards finding out they have developed a fanclub from their heroism. The problem with the bbeg being that he/she always uses a disguise when he/she fights them and they don't know who he is or what he is planning. In other words, Kill La Kill action when they finally uncover and fight him/her mixed with LA Noir/Batman style investigations to find out who he/she is and how he is going to carry out his/her plans.

Heck I've even been thinking about giving them opportunities Assassin's Creed style to find out his/her weaknesses or opportunities to help make stopping his/her plans easier. Such as looking into where his/her emergency hideout is through interrogation so you can wait for him/her there in case he/she manages to book it, or slip the news to Gamagori so he can wait there. Finding out his identity is just the bare minimum and the various ways you can make screwing him over easier is the icing on the roleplay cake.

Reality warping is fuzzy affecting everything in a line from the BBEG to the target, including the BBEG. Hit him in the head with a rock to get him to stop.

Alright /tg/ I just got the go ahead to do some demo nights for Guild Ball at my lgs. I don't usually see generals on here for the game, but I've been having a great time with it and I think the new league rules are looking like a ton of fun.

My question for you /tg/ is when you started which guilds looked like the most fun for you? I only ask because the store owner said he'd grab a few starters so that people who are interested could grab one right then and there.

Alright what is guild ball all about m8?
>>
>>47944718

Guild Ball is a fantasy skirmish game similar to Blood Bowl, but instead of American Football, it's Soccer.

Both teams are composed of one Captain, one Mascot, and 4 other players. (six total models on each side for a full sized game)

Gameplay is quick paced with the largest mechanical difference from other wargames being alternating model activation. You activate and perform all the actions you can with a model, then your opponent does the same, you continue this process until all models have gone, then the turn is over.

This video will provide a bit of insight into what the game looks like, as well as giving an overview to some of the other mechanics.

Another great thing about the game is that all the rules and resources are available for download for free from SteamForged at their site at http://steamforged.com/guildball/

Hans_Gruber.png

You are Harry Potter, and you’ve had a wild year. After being tortured by Death Eaters to the point that you can barely use magic and had to have your right arm and left leg replaced with steel prosthetics, you trained under Professor Snape – who is really Itachi Uchiha – to become a cyborg ninja. After passing his final exam, you are ready to get reacquainted with wizarding society by serving as a bodyguard to the Greengrass family on their summer vacation in Rome.

Itachi looks different in his disguise as Hans Gruber, a lot closer to how he looked as Professor Snape. If Professor Snape had ever grown a goatee and slicked back his hair in a late-80s style. However, he wore a very expensive muggle-style suit. “John Phillips, London” he described once described it alongside a pricetag that made your eyes water. He adjusts the golden tie clasp which matches his tie knot, the buckle of his alligator-skin belt, and the Rolex Submariner on his wrist. You give him a thumbs up.

“Of course I look good; I’ve been practicing for years,” he replies, “But you can’t present yourself to a Pureblood family like the Greengrasses in gym shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. Put something else on, and pick out a good looking mask.”

>What to wear

[1] Wear your monochromatic suit – black jacket and trousers, grey shirt, and black tie.

Boy, I'd be pretty pissed too. How did you respond?

If they really don't like the idea of "just looking things up" and want "mystery and wonder" then point out stuff like Star Trek where the whole point was to explore the unknown. Hell, if they just want fantasy in their sci-fi there's nothing to stop you from taking your spaceship and collecting ancient artifacts from a distant planet.

Hell, point out how Traveller is named fucking Traveller. That should give them the adventure and shit they want. The setting doesn't even have FTL internet if that's what they're worried about.

Well it's what GURPS does, so it's probably a generic idea.

>>48056505
Could work in a classless system. Since you said "feats" and "charisma", this sounds like D&D. In that case, it sounds both terrible and awful.

>The Goal of All Life is Death: This special skill is one of Ainz's most powerful abilities and comes from the Eclipse class, which is one of the hardest classes to get because it requires the overlord class with spells specialized in necromancy and instant death type magics. The Eclipse class lets the user become a true lord of death, a life consuming Eclipse. This spell delays other instant death type spells for 12 seconds, but allows them to ignore any types of resistance - even invalid. Ainz used this spell with '(Widen) Cry of the Banshee', and it killed everything in 200m. The cooldown of this spell is 100 hours duration. It is not possible to resist this spell, with the only counter being that one must use a either an item or skill that would cause them to be revived before the 12 seconds pass.
It is a skill with class requirements and while it says spell multiple times it is also labelled as a special skill and not one of his spells. Spells have their own section.
