You could discuss with your DM if he wouldn't play a few games while you DM your vampire infestation. If it doesn't work, perhaps discuss the opportunity to play an evil campaign later? I think it's quite possible to have a party where there is a NE rogue and a LG paladin. The rogue could swear to not steal from his friends, so it'll be possible to live together. But to play an undead in a game where there's another player with an undead-hunter paladin? Good luck!

burne451 09-19-04, 08:23 PM	what i plan to do is to use children of the night to distract the others/block some spells, dominate the person with the lowest will save (or the paladin if i can), then either run like hell or kill someone depending on who i dominate. if i dont get the paladin, then i want to eventually get some cursed items on them to screw them over. if i do get the paladin, then the rest are all pretty much screwed (he's the strongest next to me).

I know how to become [insert old race description here] again, but I have to go do something alone first! I just need time! Then you and the party see if you’re lying out of the side of your mouth. :D Of course, I DO have a good reason to give this suggestion, if you FAIL; you loose an action, so the good guys have a chance to get you. :D
