[QUOTE="Darth Solo, post: 7973277, member: 6791759"] It's how your PC deals with situations. They can be charming and funny, like the characters in [I]Goodfellas[/I], but when they're "doing their business" or someone crosses them, things can get ugly in a hurry. They can have a family and friends they love, mainly because those people don't judge them (unless they get out of hand). Back at [I]Goodfellas[/I], look at Joe Pesci's character, "Tommy": he's a cold-blooded killer, but he's also a hilarious jokester you wouldn't mind hanging out with. Evil is all in the means. Party needs info from a non-compliant NPC? The good guys might try Persuasion or offer a favor. The bad guy introduces the NPC to the Intimidation skill. A town is having bandit problems? The bad guy might try to join them and steal the stolen stuff back, or just take over their organization (for the greater good). You don't necessarily have to "act evil". Actually, acting like a friendly, good guy works fine ... until it's time for the teeth to come out. [/QUOTE]
