whats everyones favorite way to kill the BBEG

[archangel.arcanis]

Chain Dispel + suitable save or lose. Let's see you resist it without any buffs or items.

The items then cut back on before you're done taking their stuff.

This reminds me of another. I7V using Kaleidoscopic doom on a fully buffed caster is great.

Actually something very similar happened in a game I played too. It was wheel of time and my male channeler married Lanfear despite him potentially being the dragon reborn. She wasn't the primary bad guy though.

Great movie. Always beware of hot chicks who seem to have a lot of failed relationships.

[RobbyPants]

I'd say beware of anybody with a lot of failed relationships.  The hot part just sets of more warning flags.

[Bauglir]

Hmmm... You know, I wonder if a hot person would be likelier to have more failed relationships, if only by virtue of the fact that they're possibly likelier to be IN relationships in the first place? And also that they're likelier to end up in a relationship with somebody whose main interest was hotness, which is likelier to fail than one in which non-physical reasons were behind the initial hookup. On the other hand, they might also be likelier to stay in relationships due to the reluctance of the partner to dump them... Clearly, this is a job for statistics and a survey!

[RobbyPants]

It does sound likely.

Realize that hot character who just came onto you is most likely evil: DC 17 Knowledge Theatrics
Choosing to not date said character: DC 35 Will Save

on topic:
Casting the BBEG into some lava is always classic.
For the opposite element, just put them into a Portable hole and cast ICE9.

The lsat BBEG we killed was the best.....
While the cleric and the Bard debuffed him and the Paladin Tanked him,My psion used Baleful Teleport to finish him of....
"I disperse your body's molecules with my mind's power"

[RelentlessImp]

During the monologue, with an irresistable phantasmal killer spell. Then rushing up to declare him dead of a heart attack, and producing a (forged) will that entitles me to everything he owns.

...At which point I became the BBEG and the last fight was me vs everyone else, but I digress...

Yeah, I see the awesomeness to be had with optimized Forgery checks, yet I've never actually used the skill in a game. I must remedy that...

[Vynar]

For me, there is nothing like feeding the BBEG to one of the two most sexy monsters in all of dnd, Flesh Jelly or Famine Spirit.

I remember getting a laugh when someone told me they had a player in 3.0 using whatever the equivalent/sounds similar to Nightmare Spinner who took out a dragon using the death by fear thing. The Dragon imagined his horde just disappearing.

On a related note, there have been numerous times in various campaigns I've run that the PCs simply take over the BBEG's mansion in town after they kill him.  Sometimes they have the foresight to get all their documents in order, and other times they have an oh-shit moment when the tax collectors or some-such come around a month later looking for the BBEG.

Are these Infernal Tax Collectors? Usually by the time the PCs are hitting their first BBEG they're the biggest, baddest sons of bitches around and have little to worry about from mortal tax collectors and/or armies.

[RobbyPants]

It's not a matter of whether or not they could murder stab the guy in the face before he could scream.  It's a matter of they don't want to be killing law-obiing citizens, and don't want to go through the hassle of explaining why they killed the supposedly upstanding councilman who was secretly summoning demons, or whatever.

With the proper paperwork, they can fudge having bought the house from the guy and simply shrug if they're asked why he moved.

Favourite BBEG kill?
Well. Say what you will but our group usually have a fighter that gets buffed beyond reckoning. The result has been that at least 2 BBEGs died before initiative was rolled for. Fighter charged and one shot them with crits.
My most recent BBEG killed was from the plot age of worms. I was the party evocer. At the time of his death I was standing inside his blade barrier adjacent to him because he really wasn't big enough of a challenge. Imagine being the almost god of worms that is about to devour the world and then have a gnome evocer standing inside your blade barrier and not caring about your full attacks... SUCKED to be him.
To be fair said evocer didn't exactly max his hit points but still had way beyond 200.

Favourite BBEG Kill.

We had an mini Evil God hounding us, kept using avatars and whatnot, until finally half the party got captured by cultists in what should have been us mowing them down.

Puzzled the GM like hell, he was even more puzzled when still free half of the party waited till the scheduled sacrfice party of their VIP prisoners. We even advertised it surreptiously to evil cultists 

We blow in, standard fight with avatar, except ... we didn't kill him. Pinned him down and proceeded to use Evards Tentacles, Polymorph and other spells to violate a God!

Between the shocked cultists watching and the others presumably Scryed in (we advertised remember) worship of said God of Tyranny and Fear ... dwindled. No more uber godling  . No more harassment with avatars every few weeks 

Too bad ToM wasn't out then. He'd probably have become a Vestige of BDSM Gimps or something 

[Lycanthromancer]

I like defecting, myself.

The last campaign I killed the BBEG and his pet dragons in one round... I was playing a venerable Druid/Shifter/Warshaper (I think I was level 17 at the end), and using the assume supernatural ability feats I first shifted into a Solar and gave my party the various cleric buffs of win, and then proceeded to shift into a 17 headed pyrohydra, as the DM had previously ruled that there were more then 12HD hydras out there. So we walk in and exchange pleasantries, when the DM decides the BBEG is "tired of playing with us". So he summons two adult red dragons for us to play with and stands back. The dragons go first in initiative, and proceed to charge at the party using pounce (yay for tiger dragons  ). Of course neither one decided to attack the hydra... so thats 34 (Haste FTW) AoO I got... and therefore two dragons fell over dead.

Next came our resident wizards turn, he tried to PaO the BBEG into a newt, and seeing as the BBEG was a 25th level fighter (asked the DM after) it would have worked, other then his spell reflecting shield. So with our wizard taken down it proceeded to be our rogue and BSF's turn, and well lets just say they weren't the most successful at killing . Finally it comes to me, I take my 5 foot step and full attack, biting 34 times at the poor poor BBEG. With the associated buffs and high strength of the hydra, I hit on a 5 or higher... so of course I miss nearly 30% of the time instead of the assumed 20% and never crit  , but still ended up more then doubling the BBEG's HP.

I do feel bad for the DM, the whole shifter thing was so I could turn into a Lammasu for most of the campaign, but he had to rule that Haste gave every Hydra head an extra attack... poor guy
