For the first few times, just use money or power, or pick something from the characters' background if they have a decent one.But after that, the PCs will start generating hooks on their own. Any evil character worth his salt is going to be gathering enemies at an impressive rate, certainly faster than he can throw them into scorpion pits. An enemy, naturally, can be the source of any number of hooks. They are going to accumulate dirty secrets as well; they are good hooks as well.More than that, evil characters tend to have plots and agendas. While many good characters wait for evil to become manifest, and then act to oppose it, evil and neutral characters actively try to gain power. A previously-impossible-to-obtain piece of their plan to world domination is going to be a pretty good hook.</blockquote>
