Villainous Variety
How do we create fun and interesting villains in our stories?
Villains, every story needs one. The heroes of a Dungeons & Dragons campaign are likely to face dozens of villains before the campaign runs its course.
Coming up with that many memorable villains can challenge any DM\u2019s imagination. To help with that, we offer this extensive list of villainous attributes and characteristics.
The purpose of these lists is not to roll out a ready-to-play villain, although they could be used that way.
They can steer your creativity onto pathways that you wouldn\u2019t take otherwise. We all fall into creative patterns. Allowing a chance to play a role in the creative process helps to break those patterns and produces ideas that we\u2019d never turn out purely on our own.
