[QUOTE="Fraisala, post: 4757497, member: 24655"] Like others have said, it depends on the group. In my experience though, being evil does not have to mean being incapable of working with others. It doesn't even have to mean being on the "evil" side of every imaginable conflict. An evil character might not give about altruism, but he might not want to ruin his revenge plot by cutting himself off from the most effective murder weapon he can think of: the rest of the party. The goody two shoes brigade may be annoying at times, but they're your best chance to put the most effective hurt on your arch-enemy, mr BBEG. You bide your time, try to blend in. Besides... those plucky rascals are starting to grow on ya. Even evil guys can have friends, ya know. When you take over BBEG's kingdom, you should totally give them their own titles and some of your land to manage :) The paladin gets the stinky little undead-infested swamp everyone hated slogging through so much, of course. heh! Should you tell him before you do that about how you didn't exactly kill the lich that lives (unlives?) there so much as you just ticked him off really, really badly and made your escape with the artifact? Nahh, he'll figure it out eventually... of course if there's reason to believe the party might be threatened by that before or during the final fight, you might want to say something, but you already know that;) [/QUOTE]
