Re: What makes a good villain?
The villains that will terrify a PC most,in my opinion, are the ones who act like well-run PCs. That is, they act with intelligence and they use teamwork. My In Nomine players still talk about the capture team from the Demon Prince of Lust who staged a well-thought-out abduction of a Bright ... even when the Bright managed to escape their custody, they'd managed to set up the situation so that she was running from both her captors and her would-be rescuers.
