Are there lines that your Rogue won't cross? Are there sacrifices your Cleric wouldn't make, regardless of what his god tells him? A hard-boiled balls-to-the-wall devotee would do anything for his deity, like Abraham with Isaac. Figuring out where a character stands morally lends towards a better understanding, and better play. Simply being evil doesn't completely lift the rules of behavior, it changes the way the rules are interpreted, and which rules are applied. But then, I like playing Lawful Evil far more than Chaotic Evil. The presence of a set of moral prohibitions against certain types of behavior is one of the things that makes a character interesting.

I know a certain party just itching to get goin... jim and I are itchin' to get back at destroying the temple of evil... playing evil characters is frankly not very exciting... being morally able to do whatever you want gets old pretty quickly.

jim and I are itchin’ to get back at destroying the temple of evil… playing evil characters is frankly not very exciting… being morally able to do whatever you want gets old pretty quickly.
