Description

From publisher blurb:

More than 110 villains, henchmen, magical artifacts, and Quests ready to use in any Pathfinder or 5E campaign setting, supporting any challenge level.

Instantly-usable Villains, dozens more Henchmen, supporting NPCs, maps, Quests, and more.

If you're a DM/GM, this book will save you time and enhance your gaming sessions. If you're a player, this book will give you inspiration, particularly for villainous PCs. If you're just a hobbyist, or a writer, this book might give you inspiration for storytelling.

Each villain is a ready-to-play, novel-caliber NPC with background, motivation, description, and more. Lairs, hideouts, and other full-color maps round out each villain as its own full-featured chapter.

Enough rich content to fuel dozens, perhaps over a hundred, gaming sessions, immediately usable at your fingertips!

By the numbers:

450+ complete statblocks.
43 Villains.
68 Henchmen, Followers, & Retainers.
40+ Quests.
200+ Rumors & Lore associated with the Villain's nefarious acts.

Each villain is a full-featured character you can drop into your gaming sessions immediately, with zero additional preparation.

The content provided for each and every villain should support 1-3 dedicated play sessions... so the book itself should support 30-100+ gaming sessions!

Each villain is a 10-50 page chapter unto themselves, and has all of the following:

Complete statblocks, including Quadded Statblocks to support a wide variety of difficulty levels.
Background, motivation, appearance, combat behavior, and other "non-crunchy" character description.
0-4 Henchmen, each with full Quadded Statblocks.
1+ Quests dedicated to the Villain and/or her henchpeople.
Hooks to use to provide motivation or to get the PCs engaged.
Rumors & Lore to fuel character interest, give the Villain a real-world feel, and provide further hooks / incentives for engaging.
