We are starting an evil campain and our DM has asked us to create evil characters who have a specific evil deed that caused us to descend into an evil alignment.

We have done this type of campaign before with great results. We cycled through characters pretty quick as we often ended up killing each other (we've got a great group that doesn't get upset over this), so something that will conflict with the group isn't a problem.

In order to gain some protection from the group killing us, myself and a buddy are playing brothers--6th level orcs and we are both taking the eye of Gruumsh class next level. The idea is that we will look out for each other, to a point. I'm taking 6 levels of Crusader from the Book of Nine Swords as my base class. I only have a 4 Int (I'm the stupid one), so I'm not looking for an evil act that requires much thought, but I want to stay away from the "mundane" of killing and torturing children or parents.

Please help me become evil!

You could rip everyone in a towns (left or right, not sure) eye out. That would be fun, say you're doing it for your god.

Uncaring savage. Grummsh is a god of violence. You serve his will through bloodshed and making war on other races.

Simply, you are one of the more devout raiders in the orc tribe. Loot, pillage, kill. All you do differently is perhaps make blood sacrifces to Grummsh with far more ritual than the others.

Ah, that is it. When your tribe raided helpless townsfolk, you took captives. While the other orcs raided to take plunder and slaves, you were always the one pushing for ritual sacrifice. Make that something of an obsession - oh, we are victorious, let us SACRIFICE a captive in thanks to Grummsh. My INT is only 4 and I cannot decide what to do next, how about SACRIFICE someone for divine guidance (guidance sure to point towards sacrificing somebody).

Thank you both. I think I'll use a combination of the two suggestions to villify my character.

The hilarious thing about playing an evil character is you can pick out a character trait and take it to an extreme that is bat-dropping crazy.

If you have BoVD, look up the rules for sacrifice...:hides: - If your victim is an elf, bonus points for poking eyes out mid-ritual.

Demonstrate that you eat kittens, alive. That's pretty evil.

You're alive only because your eldricht heart feeds on random newborns, thus adding to the child mortality rate.

You could do that with a good character too. I mean, we've all heard the horror stories about sanctimonious paladins, right?
