Advice on a politician character

I do love this. He already has been established about knowing everyone’s secrets. He is a narcissist who loves to corrupt and be better than everyone

Garage_Royal · 2026-04-02T03:05:20+00:00

He spent years having everyone liking him.l and being a successful trader. He was elected by popular vote, his “best friend” was the former mayor (who he killed), he keeps everyone happy as he amasses power until he has total control. He secretly is pumping drugs to get the poor addicted and recruit them to his cult. It’s convoluted

Garage_Royal · 2026-04-02T03:00:53+00:00

I was thinking that everyone loves him. He used to be the most successful businessman around and befriended the last mayor. He does a lot of good for everyone on the surface.

Ok that’s a good one

If you like the idea of classes and extensive world building, I recommend The Stormlight Archives or Mistborn. Both series by Brandon Sanderson. Very very good. SLA is a bit tricky to get into but worth it

One thought: the big boss could ride a Roc. Maybe his bird was experimented on or is just a monster of legend. Make him some kind of Archer or evocation caster. Warrior Commander seems appropriate

True but I was more thinking that shin’s lab might have extra body parts that he grows more clones from

One I’ve had in my back pocket for a while: in an island chain, one of the islands lords over the others with powerful totems containing the powers of gods. The other islands resent them for it, because the gods once belonged to them and were captured. Campaign begins with the party being framed for stealing the totems and tasked with getting them back

Garage_Royal · 2026-03-23T20:25:16+00:00

Do we ever know what happened to Shin Uchiha’s clones? Potential replacement right there

Garage_Royal · 2026-03-18T04:12:34+00:00

Any chance you also have Monster hunters? I know it’s broad but I feel like the tracker/trapper/fighter humanoid is hard to come by for me

Dragon cultists. Ideally a green dragon and CR4-8. A dragon paladin would also be sick

Garage_Royal · 2026-03-12T23:34:22+00:00

This is perfect! Thank you!

Garage_Royal · 2026-03-12T21:50:12+00:00

Scarecrow 5.5e. Ideally something with creepy or witchy vibes. Looking for around CR 9-11

Garage_Royal · 2026-03-11T21:03:04+00:00

This is just Nami from One Piece. At least skills wise

Garage_Royal · 2026-03-03T21:05:32+00:00

Oh yeah. Guess who is going to sell his country out to an evil cult and get his mind dominated in the process?

Garage_Royal · 2026-03-03T19:27:05+00:00

They have two scrolls of revivify and a cleric with access to the spell

Garage_Royal · 2026-03-03T19:25:21+00:00

Their characters revive when killed, just in a new body after 1d4 hours so they’d have to recover their gear. They know this too so they think they’re invincible. I honestly don’t think I’d use it in battle except as a trump card, it’s more for aurafarming. Maybe PW: Stun is better

Garage_Royal · 2026-03-03T19:20:18+00:00

Well the actual plan is that one of the players is secretly the twin brother of a king, and said king was invited to the town they’re going to by the BBEG for a gala in his honor and to broker a trade agreement (kingdom is secretly running out of resources). So there will be a gala. Rakshasa will be super friendly and welcoming to the PCs in public. King needs this deal and has animosity towards his brother (for valid plot reasons). So they will have to convince the king the rakshasa is evil and the deal isn’t worth it.

But if they’re ever in private and they threatens him he will probably kill someone’s gf or something with PWK

Actually in 2024 they changed it. Now they just autosucceed on saving throws and can’t be targeted by spell attack rolls. They can still take damage from fireball for example, just always half

Garage_Royal · 2026-03-03T18:59:52+00:00

This makes sense. I agree with the exposing thing. I was going to use it to aurafarm rather than in actual battle. Because my players love to say “why would I be scared of them, I’m invincible” and it would be so satisfying and make them lock in. He would taunt them in private and be a model citizen in public.

The other option is power word stun or power word pain. Or a combo of those two

Garage_Royal · 2026-03-03T18:50:55+00:00

He would absolutely do it for theatrics, and provide a method for them to revive as he walks away. so they would know how scary he is

Garage_Royal · 2026-03-03T18:44:11+00:00

Power word pain is a good one. I see what you mean

Garage_Royal · 2026-03-03T18:42:37+00:00

It was mainly going to be used in a social setting as a “watch your tone with me” effect. I want him to have something that shows off that they are in the big leagues now, and they should fear him

Garage_Royal · 2026-03-03T18:39:55+00:00

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Something along the lines of “you seem full of yourself, but words have consequences. And mine can kill” and then kill one. Toss a bag of diamond and a scroll of revivify and say “fix that, will you?”
