[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6217852, member: 22779"] Well, kinda sorta. After all, the 3e/3.5 PHB shows (AFAIK) no evil PC's. All of the iconics are either straight up heroic good or neutral at best. None of them are evil. Even Krusk, the half orc barbarian is often described as heroic and good, not evil. And, if you read through the Adventurers sections of the 3.5 PHB and how it describes the classes, it's almost always good characters (or possibly neutral) being described. "A ranger often accepts the role of protector, aiding those who live in or travel through the woods." "Rogues adventure for the same reason they do most other things: to get what they can get. ... Quite a few enjoy a challenge. Figuring out how to thwart a trap or avoid an alarm is great fun for many rogues." Granted, sorcerers explicitly mention evil: "Evil sorcerers also feel themselves set apart from others - apart and above. They adventure to gain power over those they look down upon". So, there is at least a nod in the direction of evil PC's. But, by and large, "Evil PC" isn't mentioned in the class descriptions whereas "Good PC" is mentioned in almost every class. [/QUOTE]
