[QUOTE="Orius, post: 1913656, member: 8863"] I allow it depending on the player and situation. I never allow evil PCs that are part of the major villainous organizations IMC, since they're supposed to be the bad guys. You just can't have a party set up like that, it doesn't work. But someone who's selfishly evil who's got his own bad goals is alright. However, the character does [b]not[/b] get any breaks from me, if the character commits evil acts that piss off the wrong NPCs, then the character [b]will[/b] face the consequences. Also, if the character causes problems with the rest of the party (and I mean serious problems, like killing them, stealing from them, etc.), then I allow the rest of the party to deal with the character by any means they deem necessary. Besides, most of the "kill everything I see, including party members just because I'm evil" types of players seem to like living out some kind of psychotic fantasies anyway, and they may do that sort of thing even if they're not playing evil characters. That also includes warpos who want to act out stuff like rape fantasies. There's a difference between people who play evil badly because they're immature, and people who play evil badly because they're closet psychos. [/QUOTE]
