Becoming evil

[Tyrion]

Is it possible in the game to turn evil at some point? Im planning a paladin turned blackguard to take through SoU and HotU and at some point (lvl. 5-6) he must turn evil. Can I just kill a few people for this or what can I do to change my alignment to evil?

well let me put it this way.

when u have evil agniment with a paladin, you cant level up. but get a paladin in high level, and start killing people until u have evil agniment.

then use the next lvl up to become black guard.
evil agniment is requiered for becomming and leveluping with the black guard.

so does that answear your question ?

He's asking if SoU uses alignment shifts for behaving evil. I don't know, in the official NWN campaign you could. Maybe you can try by killing a villager at the start of the game or in a running game. One won't make much difference or you could just reload.

yup
1. killing towns folk (some shift you more than others)
2. plot devices (a certain woman and her baby)
3. crypt robbing (only a certain crypt)

Unfortunetly SOU does NOT have many opportunities to shift alignment latter in the game (i.e. past the 1st chapter). The Interlude chapter gives you the opportunity to do so only by killing villagers near the end of it (to my knowledge). I don't think the 2nd chapter gives you the opportunity at all, so you'd best do it at the Interlude. Fortunetly you should be able to acheive 7th level before moving on to chap. 2.. though you might have to back-track to the village to do so. And, interestingly enough - the village enhabitents could well inspire you to such a killing rampage if your god isn't AO (i.e. create your own plot device for your black guard continuation).

i've done it with my character, altho not a paladin, this monkette had no problems going evil. altho she didn't really haveta do a ton of bad deeds, a lot of her alignment shifts came thru conversational choices.

i personally like all the titles you get and strive to keep her going thru all of them. poor sidekicks aren't smart enough to know what's going on tho. they think maybe she's not quite what they thot, but they still help her. [img]smile.gif[/img]
