You have to let me know if the following is a too much worn-out idea, if you don't think it fits with your plans, if it is incompatible with the rest of the group, or if it just sucks...I want to try once to play a character who is not evil but comes from a culture where he was pushed to be evil; being not evil enough was the reason of his failure and for becoming an outcast of his race. Ok, I know it is not the most original idea, but being in FR I couldn't help but thinking of a Drow (since it's +2 ECL I couldn't play one, so I'd rather thought of a Half-Drow, as the PHB Half-Elf but with Drow heritage in the physical appearance, it doesn't need to be different mechanically).What I want to see is if I am able to roleplay such a character so that he is effectively not evil (I think True Neutral would make the best) but often cruel in combat or with enemies and prisoners; he should be facing a contrast between his good human side and his evil drow side, between an instinct of goodness and an education of cruelness, so that sometimes he definitely wants to lean towards goods, mercy, and love, and may feel horrified by his own violent behaviour, while other times his thought would be brought back to the (evil) drow values he was educated at, and he would feel somehow morally compelled to pursue them.In terms of gameplay, I can make him a Fighter so that it will fit the party's current composition. I think straight single-class is ok, although we may decide for him to later become multiclass if we see that the party needs to be adjusted, or even a PrCl if the story gives any opportunity. The concept idea around which he is built is that of a quite stealthy warrior: the Fighter class is not the best to do this but it doesn't matter that much.</blockquote>
