    I loved your perspectives.
    As a writer I just want to add a few ideas. I love the villains that has a good reason to be in opposition. Maybe even in the right when they learn more. Maybe they have good reasons or least some kind of justification.
    Also I love to throw in moral dilemmas. If they remove the baddy it will cause chaos or harm to alot of people. The necessary evil. If he fall the wards of the demon pit will fail.

    If scaled properly, these are things you should do to really most of your big relevant villains. It gives them longevity.

    My villain name is Zain Morgan who’s basically a PMC for monsters. You want a beholder, displacer beast, or harpy? Call the number on your sending stone now! We have a two for one deal on spine devils and this offers won’t last! And if you get in the way of my business hahaha neither will you…

      @@D20Pub imagine what the average person could do if they had one. When you have a hammer all your problems look like nails. What’s to stop someone from buying a basilisk because some guy looked at him weird? Or assassinating the king with a beholder because you think you’d do a better job. If you have the gold then the world is your oyster. The monsters can’t say no when you buy them and always follow your commands.

    More DM's need to just use the villains already in the MM. They stink at creating bad guys. They are usually over powered and unbeatable. Then they ask in DND Beyond forums, if the monster was unbalanced/OP. 🙄🙄
