Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hypersmurf" data-source="post: 1320389" data-attributes="member: 1656">My last experience with an evil campaign ended badly; one of the other PCs cut my throat.I was playing a selfish, not-overly-concerned-with-the-welfare-of-others kind of evil; every single other player had a sadistic, psychotic, cross-the-street-to-kick-a-puppy cartoony kind of evil.My character was aiming for a custom PrC that essentially gave doppelganger-style abilities.  He was also slightly insane - he had several roles that he played frequently, but they'd all developed their own personalities.  For a particular task in town, the primary personality decided one of the "others" would be better suited.  So he rejoined the party after "heading off to talk to some contacts"... but dressed differently, with different mannerisms, etc.  He turned up just in time for a battle, fought on the side of the group, and afterwards introduced himself by a different name, claiming to have been "sent by" the person they'd already met.At which point they grabbed him, held him down, put a knife to his throat, and demanded he tell the truth, or they'd kill him.Unfortunately, as far as he was concerned, he was telling the truth.  He sincerely believed he was not the same person as the primary personality, and he sincerely believed he had been sent.I dropped the DM an email, saying "What do you think?  Stay in character, or change the concept around to try and salvage the situation?"She told me I had to decide for myself.So the poor sub-personality told the rest of the group that he didn't know what they were talking about, and they cut his throat.Which would have upset me more, I think, if I'd enjoyed being in that particular group.  The DM was fantastic - still one of my favourites - but the other players, and especially their characters, weren't much fun.  If I'm playing in an evil game, I'd prefer it's not one where everyone's competing to show that they're the most evil by drinking the blood of dead enemies, or fantasising aloud about the things they'd like to do with the barmaid, a bedroom, and some sharp knives...-Hyp.</blockquote>
