Well, finally a reply from me then...
I've been working past week (get up 6:00 get home 19:30), so I have little time (and am quite tired) these days (untill the campaign starts at least
).
Well, Kal, if even carrying an Dark Skull is an evil act, then I suppose casting an Evil spell is also an evil act? So, no Animate Dead, not Protection from Good etc?
Festy, DW, Pervias. Complaining about that Dark Skull is going to get you nowhere. I will have it under my cloak, so you won't notice it (visually, at least
). I have that item to protect myself from Turning (which I think is worse than being commanded). I don't know if it's going to be really effective, but I think it does make me harder to kill. And IC you don't even know I have one...
About the Evil Characters: Yes, I like to play evil characters. But since the evil alignments were forbidden, I will play my second AL: LN. I don't know where this character is going. It depends on how Kalanyr rules on certain acts and gives certain rewards / disadvantages. But I do know that I'm not going to PK, if that's what you're worried about.
And Forsaken One: So did I...but I'll get it back...>:-].
One last thing: Kalanyr, I had a kind of rage table in mind. Somehting like:
When: Hurt Severely Hurt Kill
Insulted 70% 20% 5%
Hurted 50% 35% 15%
Killed 0% 25% 75%
Something like that. Is that an acceptable idea? I also wanted to add something like "insult" and "paralyse and bury alive" or some other really evil thing...

Why wouldn't casting an Evil spell be an evil act? It is by the core rules. It most certainly would be in my game even if it wasn't by the core rules. And could you clarify what you mean by a rage table? I really don't care much so long as it doesn't give you any kind of bonus. But that table just from a looksies is gonna have you of Evil alignment fairly quickly.

I have heard quite some dicussions on this subject. Just post something like: "Is casting animate dead an evil act"? Most people will say: "By the core rules, it is not, but in my campaign it is.". Personally, I really don't care about it (when I'm DMming), but if you really want us to be Good and if I can't convince you that Animating an Ogre to be a cheap mule is clever, instead of Evil, then so be it...
Right, the rage table: when I am insulted (must be a rather serious insult), then I will roll a d100. When it's 1-70 I cast something like Magic Missile (or I hit them with a quarterstaff). When I roll 70-95 it's in the range of a fireball / acid arrow and when I want to kill them I cast finger of death or something.
The numbers shift in favor of more evil acts when the "crime against me" is more serious...

'o Skoteinos:-
I know, I don't metagame but as soon as my char is suspicious (and that won't take long seeing as the good aligned chars won't be able to go near you!) he won't want to allow anything to disrupt the party's operations and thus will step in to deal will the matter apropriately.

Well, Festy, is that ... a challenge? 
And why can't Good creatures come near me? Conjured and Summoned Good creatures, yes, but you (if you're good) can.
The best of of it, though, is that the Darkskull weakens turning *and* prevents me from being commanded...and if you're within 10 ft. of me, you're protected too...it's an advantage with some drawbacks I guess...

Heh, no challenge but I got worried so I looked up the effects of unhallow. The description I read did not include that only outsiders couldn't enter within the circle, but what I'm primarily worried about is the negative effects unhallow may have upon good-aligned beings within its range. Maybe you could enlighten me?
btw: My previous statement was supposed to imply an IC negotiation about said darkskull, I don't pk either.

The effects of Unhallow are:
-4 turning checks +4 rebuke check
Permanent Magic Circle against Good
1 Spell (disabled in the darkskull)
The Protection from Good (as protection from good):
Good aligned outsiders and summoned creatures can't touch you (or come in 10 ft. radius).
Immune to mindcontrol / possession / domination (regardless of alignment)
+2 deflection bonus to AC against Good, +2 saves against Good casters.
There are no ill effects for Good creatures...
