Not necessarily "100 %" originals BBEG but at least we should try to come up with villains we don't get to see very much.
For example, for a cyberpunk type of campaign : I came up with the BBEG being a middle-aged worker who went on a rampage after his work drove him in a nervous breakdown.

No thanks, I don't like sounding like a fag.
>No thanks, I don't like sounding like a fag.
Then you should never have posted.
>No thanks, I don't like sounding like a fag.
Little late for that, isn't it?
>I came up with the BBEG being a middle-aged worker who went on a rampage after his work drove him in a nervous breakdown.
I see this as an encounter material, but what would bring him into a BBEG-grade? You know, to rival all those megacorps, superhacker groups, rampant AIs and occasional dragon.
>No thanks, I don't like sounding like a fag
Then why don't you just shut the fuck up ?
Depends on what kind of campaign you're running.
Ever seen falling down ? That would be pretty much the movie script but with futuristic weapon.
Middle aged worker gets fired, he gets his hands on some advanced weaponry and shit gets ugly because he can't see his daughter since he's divorced
Ok, and for what kind of campaign this would be enough? It's barely enough for a one-shot, not a campaign.
>Ever seen falling down ?
Yes I have, that's why I'm asking. D-Fence does not qualify for a BBEG, he lacks scope and actual threat level, unless you're equally small in scope.
Futuristic weapon means he's in a futuristic setting, so that thing alone does not elevate him either. So I will ask once again - how do you change him to actually bring him to the "big villain" tier?
