[QUOTE="Weeble, post: 216673, member: 4514"] Well, this one is hard, for sure. I have one evil PC in my campaign, but he often just acts with the party while behind the scenes he is rather indifferent to their cause. His shtick is that he is using the other PCs to further his own goals. Being evil, he is not limited on how to handle most situations, especially when the other PCs aren't around. But in truth, read the entire PHB and DMG, front to back. The general principle behind it all is that the heroes are heroes. Many of the quests involved with any d20 company's adventures involve doing things for the good of others, and a predominantly evil group probably wouldn't do this often. My suggestion would be to have the PCs reigned in by some evil power group, i.e. a mob, that they infringed upon. Maybe that village they slaughtered was under the protection of some greater evil that extracted coin from them. Or maybe the PCs could be hired into a covert evil organization with specified missions and tons of political intrique/assassination attempts, etc. [/QUOTE]
