>The bbeg (ugh) gains power from people looking at him. How

>>55048774
have some plot device made that will give bbeg social anxiety so as his power grows so does his clumsiness and insecurities

>>55048774
Giant screens all over the world that broadcast his face, plus bat-signal style projectors that beam it into the sky at all times.

Or just make him have social anxiety as a character rather than giving him it with a plot device.

Toss a sheet over him so nobody can get direct line of sight, then shank him through the sheet.

Sounds like Ember from Danny Phantom. She becomes a pop star to gain power from attention.

>my bard uses singing to fascinate everyone
>no ones eyes are on the villain anymore
does that make him weak enough to be killed by the fighter or wizard?

Couple preliminary questions, if you would be so kind.
>Does his power decline if people stop looking at him, or does it just stop increasing?
>If it declines, does he die/disappear/go inanimate with zero viewers?
>How quickly does his power ramp up/down? Are we talking a powerup after years in the public eye or after three seconds in busy intersection?
>What sort of "power"? Strength and size? Mystical mojo? PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER?

depends on the role your bbeg plays in your campaign. If you want your bbeg to have dept as a character just give him the anxiety as a trait but if you want your players to have a way to defeat something with potentially unlimited power then make it a trinket or spell and have your players quest for it

-Something like >>55049219, though it might help to have adhesive on the sheet to make it difficult to remove.

Other ideas:
-Lure him into an empty room and beat him down in there. This could be in his sleep.
-Turn the lights out before fighting him.
-Use smoke, flashbangs, or pyrotechnics to distract the audience and make it difficult to see him. The players might employ thermal vision aids to see him despite the impediments.
-Distract the crowd and discourage them from looking with things like CS gas
-Use a mirror shield or other indirect means to perceive him, like the one Perseus used to see Medusa without turning to stone. Or just go in blindfolded like a badass.

Does he also get the weaknesses? Give someone with an exploitable weakness and have a plan ready for when he absorbs it.

Does he have to learn to use the powers? You could find someone with a hard to control power like a liquid body and bluff him into absorbing that, kill him while he is a puddle.


If he is just increasing his DBZ power level by sight you're just fucked, start a new game.

A psionic or psychic type character could make quick work of this guy if they have any sort of destructive capability. Using psychic powers it could "see" him with their third eye without looking directly at him thus providing him with no bonuses. Then, said character could do something like pyrokinetic firestorms, trapping him in an illusion, leading him to his death via cliff or drowning, etc.
