(Sorry Monte!)  It's stuck in some weird middle ground that's not vile, or dark enough for fans of hard core vileness, but it's too vile for more conservative minded players.  The big problem, IMHO, comes from a lot of the PrCs and feats.  I always expected evil to give some great benefit at a terrible cost.  From what I've seen, most of the PrCs and feats, seem almost underpowered.  I can't imagine any villian taking anything from the book.Of course the worst 3e product is 3.5e.  Wizards making us shell out another $90 for the same books with some minor changes.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
