Adventuring groups are human waste BBEGs are the janitors of fantasy settings.

no, this is included in the 90%.

turn to page 386 of Ancient Evil Cliiches for the other 10%.

You ever see that screencap about the lich who got trapped in his own lair and went mad from loneliness? That's the other 5%. Liches trapped in caves.

You have no style.

And you have no brains. Between the two of us, I think I'm better off.

Hello Master Blaster.

You have no grace

That user has a funny face

>An ancient evil is desperately trying to recreate his now diminished fountain of youth.

But he's got no worries.
AND HE DON'T KNOW WHY.
HE DON'T KNOW WHY!

You have no grace

So does that mean the user is good?

aw damn, I recognize my defeat. To my defense I never listened to Quiet Riot, I was brought up at the sound of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple and I completely skipped a lot of other bands during my switch to heavy metal and thrash.

>knowingly helping the ancient evils
>ever
Again, as much brains between them as two sacks of potatoes.

Well at least a sack of potatoes has fun. And maybe turns the ancient evil's good. They've been evil for a while, you know, it gets boring.

>And maybe turns the ancient evil's good.
My mistake, as much brains as half a sack of potatoes

Do they become Former Evils if they turn good?

>people can't have a chance of heart nyeeh nyeeh

He's clearly trolling.

As much brains as one large potato.

>being a smitebot
>ever

Quit thinking with your Holy Avenger, user.

>an ancient evil enters into an underground fighting ring to pay the extortionate costs of running his evil lair

>middle-aged neutrality would like to seek new opportunities

>if you don't help evil people, you're a smitebot
>also helping evil people isn't just a bad idea in general
All the brains of one small potato.

Gygax approved of smitebots, you know.

IS NO MAN OR MACHINE MORE THAN HIS MISTAKES?

>new opportunities
Is that what they're calling it nowadays?

you can't insult me by calling me Irish

All the brains of a single uncooked french fry.

Wasn't Manus just straight up crazy because of too much humanity ?

Send it to hell along with all its friends, that way they can burn together forever.

So is George Washington, yet his ideals live on.

Not your blog, fampai.

If I ever get to be a DM, I want to make a BBEG with similar motivations.
Maybe I have too big of a boner for Nox, but it's not like the idea is used all the time.

Personally, I'd rather the evil be recent and contemporary.
But that's probably because I'd prefer to play in a setting where the world and its mysteries are still young and fresh.

This user, has a funny face

Your attempts to convince me that something could be better music than the DK rap is ludicrous. DK rap is the song of a generation.

4% turn deranged and die off
1% dedicate themselves just to make annoyances to random people.
Drink just enough milk so the bag has not enough for your mapple syrup cereals.

I pity your generation.

>It was "asleep" because its battery drained

If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear - whatever you believe can change the nature of a man, can. I’ve seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me.

So this guy?

You know it.

>An ancient evil just wanted to be a cute girl(boy)

No they don't.

I actually have a planescape campaign written up for later with a BBEG along those lines. All the damage he does, all the destruction he risks, and he does it to undo something and save a friend he can't even fully remember.

>One of my DM's campaigns
>We're deep underground

>In some forgotten lich's tomb that no one's dared to enter for a thousand years, even Drow don't go near it

>Back chamber, there's been nothing

>We find the lich, holy fuck

>He's knelt in front of a gravestone that reads "Emma" and doesn't even acknowledge us

>an ancient evil awakens
>he bathes, brushes his teeth, wears his best tailored made outfit and has a hearty breakfast of innocent souls
>the heroes decked out in weapons and armor of legendary make arrive at his lair on schedule
>they battle, the ancient evil is defeated and he slumbers once more

>an ancient evil awaken once again
>same old routine same ancient life
>the heroes arrive, they fight and the ancient evil is defeated once more and goes back to slumber

>an ancient evil awaken again
>the routine is so imprinted into the very fiber of his being, he doesn't need to think or focus anymore
>he's just carrying through the motion
>the heroes arrive, they battle and once again he is defeated and goes back to slumber

>an ancient evil awakens
>another sleepless night, so he presses the snooze button for five more minutes of blissful unconsciousness
>back to the daily grind
>the heroes arrive, they battle, he is defeated and back he goes to sleep

>ancient evil awakens, and it upset him
>he was having a wonderful dream, where he relaxed on the celestial shores, catching up on the multiverse news as alcohol elementals brought refreshments at his beck and call
>then he remembered he no longer had a digestive tract, nor possessed taste buds, his eyes and nose rotted out a long time ago
>this fact made him sad and burden of his regular duties felt heavier than usual
>the heroes arrive, he took a glancing hit and he feint defeat and back to slumber he goes

>ancient evil awakens, battles, sleeps, awakens, battles, sleeps and awakens, battles, sleeps.
>this is his hell and there is no escape

>A moderately aged neutral is around

>An ancient evil awakens
> When the heroes arrive he starts complaining about how he retired 3 centuries ago, and no, he doesn't care what the damn prophecy said about any moon
>He starts to tell them about how the heroes were like back in HIS day
>3 years later, an ancient evil is touring through the land in his RV
>The heroes are still trying to convince him to fight

He was just referred to as primeval man, and basically that the sorcerers of Oolacille poked him until he woke up and the abyss poured out. So it's much more of a case of, an ancient evil is woken up early and gets cranky.

>all his friends are ancient too
>they just never liked him all that much

Can he handstand when he needs to?

>Satharak, will you take out the garbage already? It's been an entire century!
>I said, I'm on it, Lornadon! I set up a couple traps around the Scepter of Damnation, adventurers will pick it up by week's end. Get off my back!
