[QUOTE="~Joseph~, post: 84871, member: 1805"] This is kinda long, so here goes..... I don't think it'll be that much of a problem, first and for most, you need to decide if mystra will alllow her cleric to be evil, you may consider changing her gods from mystra to shar, once you get that out of the way.......... Evil does not mean CE. Just because the character has a different out look on life it doesn't mean they can't work with good characters, just because she's evil she doesn't have to run around killing the weak, stealing, and torturing the innocent. If you've ever read the DL books, raistlin is an evil character, but for most of the books he still works well in a party that is donminated with LG and NG characters. An evil character can do good things, they just need to be getting something out of it. For instance, the LG paladin rescues the kidnaped princess from the evil dragon lord and destroys the evil there for the sake of justice and prosperity, he is then amply rewarded for by the greatful king and begrudgingly accepts his offer for it would be rude to refuse. Where the NE cleric desides to rescue the princess and kill the dragon lord because he, in one act, can further his own carrer and the cause of his god by killing off the competition, while at the same time getting a mountain of loot that he can then use to raise an army and take over the kingdom he helped to save. You can stil have a normal campaign, the cleric just needs different incentives, just the same way a wizard will help because he knows of a powerful spell book in the castle dungeon while the fighter wants to get the magical armor worn by it's protectors. It's in the best intrests for a cleric to heal his party members, as long as they continue to protect him, and they do not impead on the goals of his god. of course, PC comflict can always lead to a GREAT roleplay session [/QUOTE]
