Willfull Evil means loss of self to the Gathering ShadowMy rules restrictionsGood Alignments Only--- Core Races Only with a maximum of 1 (2 if we get a 6th gamer) non humans--- for flavor not balance reasonsEuropean Style classes Only except maybe 1 Use of Certain Spells and doing certain actions on the list (Torture, Murder, Rape etc)  gains you points of Shadow Touched. When your total ShadowTouched goes above your total of stats plus level you fall to EvilAlso I can add the Shadow Dice to any roll against you I wish as Opposition Dice or to twist chance against a player (at a cost). This will relive half the dice used from the poolWhen You do Good acts  you get Light Touched which work like Action Dice in Spycraft at your disposal or can counter Shadow Touched Dixce and remove themGood Roleplaying gets bonus EPIf I declare an unlisted action as Evil you get a warning and it doesn't count If you become Evil the GM controls the character. I will allow a little drift to  Neutral though I would prefer Good only I figure as long as I give them a good mix of Combat (1-2 per session) Roleplaying, World Exploration and Treasure Hunting they should be happyLet me ask though, is this too restricitve to be much fun?I want YOUR opinion, I think my players would go for it but if you were hypothetically one of my players, Would these rules chafe</blockquote>
