[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 8162546, member: 6988941"] Well, I don't know whether outlandish cackling villain behavior is strictly necessary, but "conqueror" is not a title often bestowed on people who are notable for their kindness or ethical rigidity. I assume a certain moral flexibility in the premise of "conquering the world", as this is the nature of most people with historical reputations as conquerors. People laser focused on strengthening and expanding their own power whatever the human toll are more likely to succeed than those with a lot of hangups about what is right and legal and just. That said, people will more readily follow the rule of one [I]they consider[/I] good and just. I think the best approach for a Wizard conquerer is to leave all options on the table (because having the most options on the table is the strength of a Wizard), but to only apply evil tactics where either nobody will find out, where people will be supportive of the evil tactics, where his propagandists can spin things to not cause too much discontent, or where they are the only option to perserve and expand his rule.
