[QUOTE="Odhanan, post: 3266254, member: 12324"] That happened a lot when we were playing first edition. The whole "assassin is among us" trope was part of 1e's experience for us, more often than not, that is. Same as "one of us is a thief and doesn't appear to be" (I remember a game where a good friend of mine pretended to be a gnome cleric, all virtuous and morally superior. He was named the party's keeper of all treasures found in the adventures, and everyone fervently believed him to be LG. I knew for a fact, since I wasn't playing at the table, that the character was in fact a thief. The other players never found out. LOL). I have nothing against players choosing to play evil characters, as long as they know what they're getting themselves into, agree as to the potential consequences of their actions (i.e. getting killed or worse by other PCs), and don't come to me DM afterwards to bitch about it. Of course, this means I'll give a fair warning to the player before the game begins. [/QUOTE]
