One of the challenges I find at the end of epic campaigns is ensuring that the BBEG is a enough of a challenge for a powerful party. Depending on how the campaign has gone. the party may easily overpower the BBEG.

I had one Curse of Strahd campaign where the party was able to overpower Strahd due to a unique combination of spells and acquired artifacts. I commended the team on their ingenuity, but it was a little anti-climatic as the final battle was shorter than I had hoped.

DnDBeyond has a really good interface for being able to take existing monsters and create powered-up versions for an extra challenge. I guess you could create them totally from scratch in the interface, but it find it easier to modify an existing monster with existing mark-up code so I get the rolling functionality correctly,

DnDBeyond also allows you to share the monsters if they are unique enough and differ from the original monster. It is a nice functionality to support a community of Homebrew creators.

I’ve used this functionality to create new monsters from my Middle Earth campaign that ultimately ended the with the ultimate BBEG.
