An evil lord is a prominent fiend from the lower planes that is noted for its innate desire for dominance, in spite of its smaller stature. Standing about 5 feet in height, these fiends overcompensate for their stature by becoming learned in the dark arts and evil magics, casting spells aimed to hurt their opponents and assert their superiority. But in spite of their vast array of spells, their absolute favorite magical power is their ability to enlarge their forms to appear as the all-powerful evil lords they truly wish to be. Big Ego. Whenever they can, evil lords will use their magic to disguise their true stature, entering combat situations enlarged and either defeating their enemies quickly or fleeing before their enlarge ability wears off, lest their true height be revealed to their enemies. This is not always possible however, and for such situations, an evil lord will also use spells such as disguise self, shatter confidence, and phantasmal killer to make itself appear to be a greater threat than it is. Evil Aesthetic. In order to feel superior to others, evil lords will invariably try a bit too hard to fit into the evil aesthetic. This is most prominent in the type of magic they choose to learn, with spells such as heat beam, animate minor object, and fireball being staples in their arsenal solely for their ability to frighten and intimidate their opponents. Evil lords also embrace evil looking clothing, with pointy spikes, the color black and glowing red eyes being among their favorite fashion statements. |
