[QUOTE="dm4hire, post: 4603492, member: 14848"] I disagree. Evil can be quite interesting to play if ran by the right players. The key is it has to be the right players. Just because someone is evil doesn't mean they are evil 24/7, but at key moments is when you find out how evil they really are. Best time for evil to show its face while not hindering or causing problems for the party is dealing with wounded. Evil characters often look pretty confused when questioned about wounded enemies. "Oh, you wanted information from him? Well let me animate him and we'll ask him." Then there's the betrayer which I love the most in a party. Nothing like intrique to make a party come together, except for hunting down and killing the betrayer that left them hanging cold. This last is best with guest players and was featured in a Dragon article awhile ago. Then we can't forget the rogue after finding 1000 gp in a treasure chest. "How much is there?" "Looks like maybe 500 gp, that's 100 each." And then there's the assassin, who's mission is to kill the guy the rest of the party is out to defend and once the mission fails or succeeds for the party still walks away paid one way or another. Nope evil can be fun. Just need to make sure that it is played appropriately. Yep if played correctly evil PCs want nothing to do with Intra-party conflict. Why would they want their cover blown? At least till it served their purpose they should be happy to keep everything an even keel. [/QUOTE]
