Hey /tg/ i'm wanting to build a enemy class between necromancer (or other eldritch like baddies) and Noble using this art work as a template for ideas(BBEG is on the right). It's my final boss in my OC campaign. I'd appreciate any help thanks.
Where there's the classic rich and powerful dude who wants more power and to not actually die (I'm assuming lichdom is on the table). Conversely you could make him a somewhat more tragic character, maybe he was wronged by the king and is seeking revenge or is looking to ultimately resurrect a loved one.

ah, well. its meant to be an Human queen whos been at war with a teifling kingdom so trying to sort of fight fire with fire she summoned amodeus to grant her demonic power. while giving her power she basically lost her mind. i have only begun the whole lore of my world but her end goal is world domination. no sob story for her just endless power. sorry for not clarifying that

why stop at one demon pact?
have her make terrible secret pacts for advantages/protections in the war with demons.
the costs being sacrificing citizens she's sworn to protect. disguised as serial killings.

Hell, even throw a little John Constantine in there. She's promised her soul to various demons at the same time, thus creating the potential for a war between the various demons, so maybe one of them attempts to engage the players in getting disrupting her side of the deal and giving that demon priority or whatever.

yeah, i was thinking at end game time the party would turn up the main city and everyone would be dead, except for the few demons and the queen herself, she has 4 uber strong generals whove fallen for the same trade of power and they just kill for her and the soul sacrafice. The whole contry of humans is plunged into mass killing chaos.

What I would do is this: take two (maybe three if you're particularly vicious) classes and backgrounds from the main book, and give him all of the features of each. So maybe a raging paladin of hate has Paladin 7/Barbarian 7 or whatever.
