I feel your pain, brother. T'is difficult to stay true to ones nature when the rewards are so meager. I recall freeing a certain hostage as a chaotic neutral Fighter/Cleric, and receiving a chunk of exp, while my evil assassin held her for ransom and his reward was a pair of silver pantaloons. Although my dark priestess really grooved on my choice of action , (and she looks good in the pantaloons), it didn't do much for my ultimate goal of gaining power to crush all those who oppose me. I find myself taking the same course of action as I would as a do-gooder, simply because I desire the loot and power that exp. brings. Maybe if I was offered items only for the use of evil and somewhat less exp. , it might lessen the sting of having to conceal my true intentions constantly. The company of Korgan, Edwin, and Viconia *is* much more agreeable to me than..umm..previous companions, and the assassin/thief guild has been a lot of fun. But, let us hear the thoughts of Asphyiate, so that we may study his writings, and ponder his wisdom.
