[QUOTE="Noumenon, post: 4804093, member: 70102"] In fact, usually only a handful of the people involved commit all the violence and the rest just give varying degrees of moral support -- a cheer, a fresh loaded weapon. Even in trench warfare. You know, if we used street gang naming conventions instead of going for fantasy, I bet more PC groups would have names too. The Faerun Saints, the Faceless Assassins, the King's Keep Cobras. That is a great motivation for an evil helper character. I love it. He might not even be planning to betray them -- just to use them. Give me XP, and I'll start another one about how to play Chaotic Neutral in a paladin-only campaign. (just kidding) I was thinking about Smithers again. Say he was sent out on an adventuring party, still not loyal to any of the people he was helping, just to Mr. Burns. Why would he be helping the actual fighters? [i]To keep up employee morale.[/i] I could be like the evil Human Resource Manager, for some devil that needs [b]empowered[/b] and [b]motivated[/b] assorted sundry nameless horrors. Maybe I'll put that in my background -- Wolfram and Hart would make a great source of adventure hooks for a DM, wouldn't it? [/QUOTE]
