_Rhyxali your thoughts on evil are... well... good.

Skain, lol

To those of you who don\'t know what evil is: It is not relative! If you do not know what the difference between the two is then you may find yourself on the side of evil!  Go to church, and find out!

Good does not always avoid a fight!  God will smite the evil ones and when God personally commands me to act on his behalf, thy will be done!

I agree with you, but we call a good person someone who does mostly good. There is no room for perfection in this world, but some come very close to it.

And there is another problem about you say. Good and evil are all relative to the system of values everyone uses. So if you do a bad thing and you don\'t realize it you are either crazy or have other system of values. If you convince a good person that what they do is wrong he will stop doing that. A good person is just someone who plays by the rules.

Another thing I wanna say is that I don\'t think there are true evil ppl in the planeshitf comunity. Some just choose to break some of the rules(mostly killing others for money). The problem is that they don\'t break all the rules and you will see \"bad\" ppl very loial to their guild, who are really helping each other and which will be a really tough enemy. That\'s why I think a neutral or bad guild will be the one to rule the planeshift world.

uhh... that didn\'t make much sense :P
so evil people are loyal to their guild... that makes them tough... but what has it to do with neutral guilds?
And you think good people aren\'t loyal to their guilds? :P
Actually they will be even more helpful for other members :P
I mean evil is about thinking about yourself and not others :P

Good and Evil are always at war! Evil might be hiding, but good will always seek it out and destroy it!!! I am talking roleplay here.  This thread got five stars because Rhyx tryied to educate us on how to roleplay evil.  Stateing that good is always aviods a fight and evil always starts fights does not make good roleplay.  Here are some simmple rules that I know of:

Raiseing the dead: Evil
Resurecting the dead: Good

Slaying Kings: Evil
Slaying Dragons: Good

Slaying leaders to move up in the chain of command: Evil
Blindly following the leaders: Good

Black knight: Evil
White knight: Good

So it is writen so shall it be done!!!!

FINALLY, someone gets it!  The whole point of this thread was to give ideas on improving the RP aspect of \"being evil.\"  Talking about evil is all well and good, but portraying it convincingly is something else altogether.

Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter acted like the most polite and intelligently conversational person you\'d want to meet.  His dark side was hidden well when he was out in public.  Passing him on the street, you\'d never know he was thinking of eating your spleen \"with Fava beans and a nice Chianti.\"

In my experience, most of the worst villains in RPGs have been fallen heroes.  No one else can sink as low (or be as effective at being evil) than those who have walked in the Light.  They know how the heroes are going to react, and may even try to corrupt them as they have been corrupted.  The Dark Path will seduce you; will entice you with unfulfilled dreams made possible.  It\'s only a little evil, what could it hurt?  ;)

*sigh* how many times do i have to say that...
good is opposite to evil so good people are against any type of violence.  
Ones that hunt evil are lawful aligned.

Slaying Kings: might be lawful-good if king was terrorizing people in his kingdom.
Slaying Dragons: not always good as it might be gold dragon (which is good aligned) ;)

Black Knight: Lawful-evil
White Knight: Lawful-good

Very true IRL as well.

And fallen heros do tend to make effective villains.  It\'s also interesting to think of how little it takes for this to happen.  Being good is something that takes a lifetime of commitment, while turning to evil can be something that happens out of your control that snaps your mind like a twig.  I mean, take NWN: Aribeth was the most good and lawful paladin in all of Neverwinter, then her fiance was executed; she couldn\'t take it and so she joined the ranks of evil (as far as I know, I didn\'t quite finish the game though  :P ).
