I'd say there is third group aswell. Those who are playing evil characters, and are playing them well. But, due to dislake for the generic "Chaotic Stupid" evil they just do not get much of chance to be evil. You can rob and muggle other players, but when it comes to anything beyond that, the evil character needs a DM to babysit him. There's this. I've worked up a new evil guy who's actually gained influence with Lawful Lovely berel on account of shared lawful attitudes, so when it comes to actually being evil I can't fly off the handle and batter someone into a past 'just for laughs'. The best I can do at the moment is display evil attitude. Lawful evil, at that. Still, zhents soon!

The best kind of evil is much like an MM candy Sweet candy goodness outside. Dark rich succulant evil chocolate inside

Yeah I love the people that can 'just know' you arent playing evil well enough, even though they have never even interacted with your character. Based on outside appearances, if you can tell my character is evil, I am doin something wrong.
And for the record, The Flaming Fist is LN in game lore. I dont know if that is different here, but in the Gold & Glory book it pretty clearly states that they, as a force, will go where the money is but prefer order-promoting causes.

However, since they are currently employed by the city of Baldur's Gate, and that's where the money is, they are willing to lean towards the good side. ;D

Hmm I may have a solution to our Fist problem. ( drags out several large sacks of coin) Can we find out how much The Fist are currently being payed (prepares to hire said Fist organization and move the theives guild to their new Fist keep headquarters) Haha victory Just remember, Laws are often driven by the group with the largest army

The only problem with that solution is that the lawfully-aligned Fist would likely honor the terms of its first contract.
Try again.

Alrighty, good points all about the Fist and stuff. The purpose of this thread was to remind the DMs and players to get the alignments shifts. You cant go out in a killing spree and be neutral or good. Im not saying anything against evil. By all means, kill the Fist. Kill the travelers. But I would be glad to see my smite working against a guy that has killed 5 people or more, for fun or for any other futile reason. And I know who the assassins are OOC! Shame on you if I get "Smite failed" message!
