Olidammara comes into play and magically changes your alignment to CG and your class to paladin (= DM intervention I presume?). Now, you don't feel at ease with your CG alignment. You want to do the "evil" stuff you pulled off before but you feel restricted by your alignment. First piece of advice: Talk to your DM. Why did he change your alignment in the first place? Is it because otherwise you don't fit in the (good) party? Is it a consequence of the storyline? Why did he do this? Did he consult you in doing so? If you don't feel at ease with a CG paladin, than you should tell him. This could result in the fact that he tells you to suck it up or take another character, but if you don't ask, you can't be sure that you can't go back to your CN rogue; You could start slipping back to CN. Try to roleplay this gradually, one small step at a time (your DM shall have to approve this and you better talk this over with him too, as alignment shift is really a DM's prerogative (sp?). However, if your character is turned into a CG being by divine intervention, you might try to play a CG character. You might feel remorse for the evil things you did in the past and perhaps feel the need to help the people you have crossed in the past. You shouldn't however feel "homesick" about "the good old times when I could do what I want". Than you're not CG, but still CN who is forced into doing CG actions. I guess you'll have to give some more information to give you suited advice. Tell us how this conversion happened and what you want to happen (stay CG or slip back to CN). Cheers

Indeed im playing a CN Rogue Tiefling, in role my skills at figthing are not so good as it should be, but basically im the trap finder, picked up some bad lvls early, im something like a frustrated Paladin of Olidammara, devoted to the wine, women and music, a gambler and a full time Joker, but when Sion (My PC) gets Angry his evil side comes out usually commits murder. Off-role this is bcoz at the moment when we start our campaing didnt had anything more than core books :weep: so our DM give us the chance to Rebuild our PC. Basically i want a CG Char with some dark features but i cant see how to do it, hes a Shadow Lover but it doesnt mean that his a bad Guy i think of him as a man with some ambivalences Thnx

If you're staying on the Good side, then that's an easy decision: you help the weak, fight the baddies, and generally do good things. Being Chaotic (Good) is then a rather easy decision as well: rather than following orders or established procedure, you often take matters into your own hands. Say you hear of a ruffian pickpocketing in the town square. Rather than reporting this to the town watch, and maybe going along on a plan to trap and catch the thief, you stroll out, discover who the thief is, and make him pay the penalty right there. Judge and jury, that's you. Or say your group is fighting a group of gnolls who've been terrorizing a local trail. Your group defeats them, and a couple are captured. The rest of your party members decide to keep them and turn them over to the local authorities, in order to discover where the rest of their comrades are. But the sadness you see in the youngest one's eyes gets to you. He seems too young to be a really willing party to the attacks, maybe only dragged along as an initiation right. Despite the risks, and the real likelihood that he might warn the rest of his tribe, you decide to cut him free during your watch. In the morning when your comrades ask about his escape, you freely admit your deed (you're good, remember, so you can;t lie too often, if at all). You suggest that he'd learned his lesson. When the young gnoll reaches the tribe, he'll not only warn them, but they'll likely head as far away as possible, thus saving them (and the local authorities) the need for further bloodshed. At least, that's one way that your character could rationalize it. -- N.

This means that you're likely to end up quarreling with the LG paladin of your party (if there is any). Remember that LG & CG both are good, but that these two can have radically different ideas about what good is. It's not done often but you can have a massive conflict between two good entities (although conflict should be the exception and not the rule). Cheers
