[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7265216, member: 29398"] Fair enough - if it ain't fun for you, don't do it. That said, sometimes it's fun to be the bad guy. :) Evil, of course, takes many forms. Messing with the dead is usually considered Evil, for example; so what would you say to a PC Necromancer whose main schtick was animating the dead to use as shock troops and meat shields for the party? Poison use is another one - the game has usually defined it as an Evil act, but a PC Rogue or Assassin whose main tool of her trade is poison shouldn't be ruled out as unplayable due to this...at least not IMHO. Funny story about blowing up a village and characters acting out of alignment... [sblock]Party goes into a village, and into its local tavern. Tavern occupants don't like the look of the party's Part-Orc and run him off. Party MU responds by dropping a fireball into the bar from outside, killing many innocent villagers. Party's Thief then rescues various other innocents from rooms upstairs. Before this, the MU was Neutral and the Thief was Evil...go figure. :) [/sblock] Lanefan [/QUOTE]
