[QUOTE="HoboGod, post: 5267328, member: 90920"] Bah, it's a dick move to create an anti-social PC in a co-op role-playing game. If this player didn't metagame to join the group like everyone else, why should the OP metagame to save this player's life? Being anti-social out of character is fine. If a player wants to play the shy fighter who is a wallflower until it's time to crack skulls, it's fine by me. But if a player wants to be the grumpy assassin who doesn't play well with others, there's a problem. Speaking from experience, the biggest problem a group will ever have with letting Chaotic Evil PCs exist is when they choose to be an insubordinate, unfriendly, and generally anti-social evil (coincidentally enough, that's roughly the same problem with Lawful Good.) Every Sunday, I DM an evil campaign as well. I've received multiple complaints from my players about the actions of a PC who wanted to play an Incubus.
