Evil PCs have to do their Evil subtly, else they'll get kicked out of the nice protective Good town. So IMHO Enchantment should make an appearance in your spell list. A focus on Necromancy and Enchantment would be very viable -- you could affect almost everything.Let's see, for level 1 spells you'll be hard pressed to out-do ray of enfeeblement, so stick with that. Charm person is fun, so take that too. And magic missile is a fine spell, but I think your tactics should be to avoid combat (via charm) or to de-buff your foe (via ray of enfeeblement) and let your <s>minions</s> friends finish it off. So perhaps a utility spell such as silent image?(Let me extol the virtues of silent image, perhaps the strongest spell that is commonly overlooked in the PHB. You can use this spell to hide every one of your companions in broad daylight, just so long as you create something stationary and no-one goes and interacts with it. So, you're caught up on a hill when a dragon flies by? Fine, now you're all inside a boulder. The duration is amazing -- it lasts as long as you can concentrate. It's also fantastic for boosting the Rogues in your party. You can make an illusion of a wall with arrow slits behind the Fighters, and the Rogues can snipe from effective invisibility. Sure, they're not actually protected, but who's going to charge a wall when there's a Fighter right there stabbing him in the face? Maybe someone will, and for him, the wall will stop existing. His friends still get sneak attacked. It's an early battlefield control spell par excellence.)Anyway. I'd focus on being evil in ways that trick and control rather than frighten and kill, just because that's the kind of evil that <s>wins elections</s> survives longest in lands of Goodness.For your feats, of course, I'd suggest Spell Focus (Enchantment) and Greater Spell Focus (Enchantment). Those are going to be your save-or-slave spells for your whole career. Keep the DCs nice & high. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Cheers, -- N</blockquote>
