Message: <blockquote data-quote="Blue" data-source="post: 7471664" data-attributes="member: 20564">The only long term evil character I played was back in AD&D 2nd.  Boasis was a petty evil priest of Mask, know for being glib and lazy.  He joined a "goodish" party - they were more inspired by gold and glory, but glory came from doing deeps people int he cities would cheer about.He was petty evil - doing evil things for his own comfort and advancement, not out of a grand scheme to do evil.  Animate dead foes to use them as trap detectors.  Started a competing thieves guild in a city that already had several, etc.  But he didn't betray the party.He had joined under the guise of a cleric of Shaundankel (sp?), back in 2ed a minor god of traveling in the Realms.  After several months when they found out he was a cleric of a god of thieves the party wanted to know why they should trust him.  They knew he was supremely lazy, and he pointed out that he coukld have a big score once, and then for the rest of his life work looking over his shoulder to avoid a powerful and vengeful adventuring company with contacts and divination, or just go adventuring a few days a month and make more then that in a handful of adventures while making powerful allies.The key was that he provided interesting in-character drama while still being aligned with the party enough to move forward and not cause any player drama.  It was discussed with the other players before I even made the character.</blockquote>
