[QUOTE="Empirate, post: 5403140, member: 78958"] First off, let me say that you were really, really asking for trouble with your character concept. Especially if there's another PC in your party who'd take issue with evil outsiders. Maybe next time build a character that fits in a little more naturally? On to help you in your upcoming situation, taking into account that, yes, you ARE playing an evil outsider, might just make the best of it: 1. You can still expect people not to kill you based just on who you are. As long as your behaviour stays impeccable, you'll have the moral high ground. Just don't go seducing maidens and sucking their lifeforce dry, kay? 2. You can also rely on social skills - which are probably extremely good, right? So either try to reason with him ("Look, I'm not here to cause trouble, so let's be friends again, shall we? No reason to come to blows"), or spin a story ("I was born a fiend, but couldn't bear doing evil any longer. Really, I'm in search of redemption"), or put the fear of Demogorgon in him ("I can do things to you you never even dreamed of in your worst nightmares. Be content I choose not to for the time being and pester me no longer, miserable mortal"). Your social skills might also help out in convincing the rest of the party to let you stay regardless. 3. You might try and be open about your true nature - before he finds out himself. Work at building some honest trust in your party, and repay that trust with trustworthiness. This way, backstabbing them at a later point will be even sweeter! Mwuahahaha! (If that's your thing, that is) 4. Actually go ahead and change your alignment. While that will not get rid of the [Evil] subtype for whatever reason, you can still have any Cleric and Paladin in the land confirm that you're not evil. Chaotic Neutral will do nicely, I think. 5. There's always brute force. Kill the character in his sleep and blame it on somebody else. Get creative. [/QUOTE]
