I was reading the 'Champions of Ruin' blurb on the WotC and read this:
'you will discover everything players and Dungeon Masters need to create the most evil organizations, treacherous villains, and morally ambiguous antiheroes.'
My first thought that WotC has not displayed much talent in writing good 'morally ambiguous antiheroes.'. I thought that the Shadowbane prestige classes were a start in this direction.
My favorite NPC archetype or protoganist for my players is the one that the characters like on a personal level but still need to fight for reasons of religion, racial identity or other reason that does not break down strictly along the good/evil axis.
Are there any characters (NPCs) in the WotC realm that fit the bill of 'morally ambiguous antiheroes.'? Good examples from other campaign worlds would be interesting. Who does this the best? It seemed that the 'Black Company' book might one place. Is it?
