I can't help it - every pure wizard I ever make has turned or will turn "evil" (even if only in my own mind).

[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 8630933, member: 1465"] First of all, if that's your frequent character concept preference, nothing wrong with that. I am somewhat not surprised that it doesn't happen when you play Warlocks, because each of their archetype already comes with a moral connotation. It is not mandatory to follow it strictly and even possible to roleplay [I]against [/I]it, but I suppose in most cases it directs the player towards a certain alignment or ethics, which is not evil for all Warlock archetypes. I am a bit more surprised instead that it doesn't happen to Sorcerers... I would think that between them and Wizards there is the same unspecified/open morality from the class description. I hadn't thought that being high-Cha could actually steer a character towards good. If anything, my typical mental image of a "Sorcerer" is actually darker and shadier than Wizard. First image that comes to my mind saying Wizard is a joyful grey-haired old person in starry robes and pointy hat swinging a sparkling wand to make children laugh, and saying Sorcerer is a crooked-faced gnarly-handed person looking over their shoulder while attending a boiling cauldron in a shadowy lair :p [/QUOTE]
