If need be, could your PC work out as a villain?

>>55366817
yes

>>55366817
No because that will make everyone 'right' about him

he's a chaotic good necromancer

>>55366817
I mean, she's adventuring for the purpose of becoming well-known for her evil acts.

The better question is whether she can be brought to the side of good.

>>55366883
Being evil for the sake of evil... is really edgy

>>55366817
Yes, to the point where he was used as the BBEG for a different campaign my GM ran.

I dare someone to post a PC that could not become a villian.

>>55366871
i went with a neutral good necromancer
dressed him up like director krennic from RO, gave him a really edgy name, had him always surrounded by skeletons and delighted in the screaming children, and was often your typical snooty noble who looked down on everyone

but he risks his life for others, would never consider lying or dishonesty, and never stops fighting for what he believes in, and his goal was a world where he could raise the worlds downtrodden to be as noble as he is

>>55366817
Yes, but not as a 'main' villain, as his motivation is service to his king and country, so he's kinda second banana by default

>>55366891
She's evil because her mother, a rather petty witch who hates travelers in her woods, raised her to be evil.

At semi-villain, at best.

There is one Enemy in the world of this game, the lidless fiery eye who never sleeps. He has the power to corrupt, but fortunately, elves are quite resistant to that. There was only one elf in history who truly sided with the Shadow and betrayed his city.

Still, elves can be corrupted, if not so much as to switch sides, sorrow, angst and whisperings of Shadow can make them embrace petiness and vice.

Thus, he could become "villain" in the same sense Boromir, Denethor, or Feanor and his sons were. Not a servant of the Dark One, but one who remains in opposition to him, but still commits heinous acts and is an obstacle towards true hearted heroes.

>If need be, could your PC work out as a villain in my ass?

Yeah but it'd be pretty lame because his shtick was that he was a redeemed villain and he was a major moral compass cock block for the party's murder hobo tendencies.

No, Anon. you are the villain.

>>55366817

Villain = Peasant.

>>55366817
Well, he's dabbled in stuff like necromancy in the past to satiate his curiosity, but no, he can't become a villain the any true sense of the word. He is antagonistic to the status quo, but not to "evil" or "good", he doesn't care about those things.

You better believe he could go back to the bad.
This is a man that had to export several years worth of his memory to an external storage unit in order to function as a member of semi-civilized society.
He was basically an Arco-flagellant crossbred with a Reaver in the past.

You bet your ass he could go there again.

>lawful evil Dragonborn Cleric
He is already the villian

Made me think of a few characters i've used over the years, and a few of them totally could be.

Star Wars D6: Astromech with a broken personality module. Hacked into every system it could get a connection with. Could easily be some sort of Imperial "agent" screwing with the party

Dark Heresy: Scum that worked his way up to being the slum lord running a space station and spy networks for his Inquisitor. Could decide to go rogue / fall to chaos since he's already kind of crazy.

Pathfinder: Grouchy old Alchemist who spent most of his time as the party healer. Would have retired a long time ago but after taking the position as a small lords alchemist he had to keep working to keep his post. Not a huge fan of his boss but the job comes with an awesome lab to work in. Could go evil by being pushed too far one day and just locking himself in his lab doing experiments and walk about a month later and overthrow his lord.

>>55366817
My PC is already a villain, it's just that his interests align with the forces of good,his evil plan is to create a realm of sustainable long-term ungodliness,which means that anything that threatens the nearby kingdoms is automatically his enemy as well.

It would be really hard, and the only way to do it would be to turn her into some sort of trashy pedo sex-slave collector or something stupid like that in order to stay in character.

My current PC is a ninja of a clan slaved by ilithids who was trained to have no self will, soulbound by a ring to serve the contract master. My current master is another PC noble who won the ring in a bet against another noble.
Not a good main villain because of the whole "I am a weapon and a tool" brainwashing he went trough, but he's a good mid-game boss.

Just because we want to take over the kingdom doesnt mean that we are villains!

>>55366817
My last pc was a villain. He just happened to be acting in a way which benefited the solar system, without the whole cliche ends justify the means horrible atrocity plans.

From a public perspective he was a bounty hunter famous for his reality tv show and its brutal "special effects".
From a legal perspective he was a terrorist who frequently committed crimes against humanity in the name of justice. He openly flaunted the law because quite frankly after a certain point the intersolar police could do fuck all about the party.

He retired as a politician, the worst kind of villain.

Rogues are an easy conversion

>>55366817
All of them probably. Even paladin could at least be a pretty scary antagonist. To the point of some people pissing themselves in fear. Fear is a good instrument of rehabilitation from his point of view. It allows to cover much more cases than just kindness and care. So he makes sure that people know that yes, he will give them a chance, but in case they fuck up this chance even lords of Hell and Abyss together won't be able to save them.

>>55366817
Bran, the fighter, could. He is a ruthless man, who would stop at nothing to keep order and safety.

Boson, the Giovanni Vampire could be The Man if the setting was cyberpunk. Blood cattle, all-controlling commercial network, brainwashing and the like.

Nutcase, the decker, is way too unstable for this, but could be a decent terrorist if his AI abusive gf asked him

Bartala the wizard could be a villain in the same vein as Boson.

Azavar the kinslayer is an evil barbarian who kills for fun and carries the skull of his elder brother, his first victim, and talks to him maniacally.

>>55366817
One of my former PCs is a villain.
My current PC has a splintered psyche, so a third sub-personality isn't out of the question.
Enough time in Barovia is probably going to convince her that she is the 'real' Tatyana and as such she's going to try and kill Ireena so she can have Strahd all to herself. The plan I have is that she believes the curse will lift when she shows Strahd 'true love' and makes him human again, allowing for a restart of the Zarovich bloodline.
Obviously, this line of thinking will head into disaster.

UNGA BUNGA ROCK WORKSHOP

My tiefling bard is chaotic good sweetheart. He currently has history of hanging around unsavory characters and mercenaries, but mainly seeing it as his main entryway into glamorous life of Adventuring. He is hero wannabe surrounded by people who'd rather make simpler and more pragmatic decisions for money.

That said his anarchistic streak, combined with his incredible charisma and intellect could make him absolutely wonderfully manipulative and toxic cult leader if things went sufficiently wrong with him.
He is well versed in history and arcana to twist and bend them to make his cultists believe him to be their saviour. And his temperamental and slightly hedonistic personality would give him that temptation motif.

>>55366817
He's just a dude making money for his family. If he became desperate it's not inconceivable that he would throw out his morals to keep supporting them.

>Father like Duergar Demolitionist
This is a hard one. He's gotta be in some rival party for him not to want to immediately try and make friends with those around him.
>Scrawny but determined Wood Elf Brawler
He's definetly a head strong and "anything for glory" type of person. I could see him take part on the wrong side of some war or a role like gastion for some backwards hamlet

It's remarkably simple to make nice guys into villains. Make them desperate and have the desperation set them opposite the PCs. Or you can pull a Nox from Wakfu, where it's okay if he does awful things because once he wins he'll make it so none of it ever happened anyway.

>Actively has a fierce ideological rivalry with the main leader of the party over how the assignment should be handled, along with personal ideologies such as the worlds politics and espcially religion, namely the gods. Despite the two constantly saving one another, they have equally harmed or ruined one another's plans.

>Almost transitioned into evil after purchasing a slave, then after the slave chose to turn on him in a bid to escape, almost crippled him for life.

>Recently transitioned into Evil alignment after choosing to ignite a tribal genocide by spreading false information to the separate tribes, in a bid to protect the main party from having to deal with them later on. In another bid to complete his central objective, he convinced the Emperor of the nation they were currently in to ban religious Orthodoxy and to revise it into a state controlled religion to force extremist into the streets while the military is still thirsty for battle following the failed coup.

>Ultimately aiming to unite the human population of the world under a massive Alliance bound Federation, then to finally take the fight to humanities true enemies, the Elves.

While the main party currently has a direct enemy to fight, my PC's motives basically have him shaping into a 3rd party threat into the future.

>>55372882
That would just make them into antagonists, not villains.

My PC is chaotic evil, so yes.Hell, he even wants to destroy a particular country in universe.

>>55366817
Most of my recent PCs could, yes. In fact they were mostly evil-aligned, so uh... them not being a villain was only due to there being bigger fishes in the pond.

>Lawful Evil aasimar paladin
Could easily become a tyrant if given the opportunity. Already is one at her scale. Retired character, but slowly regrouping power in the background, so... if the DM wanted it, she could very easily become an antagonist.

>"Chaotic Evil"-ish post-apocalyptic otaku brawler junkie
Actually turned into a mutant and killed another group member before being put down, but that was, strangely, more tragic that all-out villainous on his part. He did not really have a choice. Too dumb to be *the* villain.

>"Lawful good" post-apocalyptic gentleman repairman
Harder, but could have been driven to despair. He could have been an antagonist by virtue of "utopia justifies the means", but he did not really have means to build an utopia anyway.

>Neutral evil tiefling wizard
More neutral than evil but very easy to see as a villain since she only cares about knowledge and magic, and only gives a damn about saving the universe because she'll learn a few things about its secrets on the way. She'll never be cruel, but she could very easily find herself on the wrong side of the fence if she finds it more interesting. Probably the kind of villain who'd genuinely see nothing personal in her strife against heroes, and regret the circumstances opposing them.

They'd probably be a worldwide boogeyman in the vein of Slendybendy as a figure that appears in the woods and terrorizes those that piss him off. No one ever dies unless they try to fight, but the next day in town the survivor always catches his gaze from among the rabble, locking eyes with a malicious grin and never being seen again.

Or a wild dog that attacks a trainer? It's the same for the mindless undead.

>>55366817
It depends on which one you're talking about.

The mercenary certainly could, given the circumstances and the pay. He wouldn't be the childkiller, evil for the sake of evil type, but he might work for the BBEG if he's willing to pay enough.

The ranger, though? No way. He's dedicated to helping people, hunts orcs and demons for a living, and is dedicated to fulfilling his mission of destroying the evil that is about to surface, given to him by Mielikki herself. I don't see any case in which he could be evil.

>>55366817

>Lizardman Chef Monk
VILLOK MUST EAT ALL. VILLOK WILL CONSUME ALL. VILLOK EAT YOU. Yeah, he's halfway there already.

>Minotaur Conquest Paladin
He already is a villain. He's like evil Luffy from one piece, but instead of treasure he's waging war on the world to make up for the disgrace he suffered at the minotaur circus.

so reanimating a body is evil magic, but curing disease and healing a mortal wound is fine... they both fuck with the life, but one is ok and one isn't... this is why i hate d&d players/dms

She was slowly turning into one, died as one maybe. She was an inquisitor who started to lose faith in her god due to the murders in the town the adventure started in. In being targeted by the antagonist of that book, Rise of the Runelords book 2she slowly started to believe that it was their god sending her a message that she was chosen to join the cult that was causing so much trouble.Now that I think about it, she actually was a mini villain by the time our tpk happened.

>>55378757

That's retarded. You're retarded. Using magic to heal someone or cure an illness is just keeping an already alive person alive. It's just medicine but better.

The best you could argue is that bringing someone back from the dead is a morally ambiguous act since it fucks with the natural order of things, but that's dependent on the setting.

But puppeting someone's corpse or worse their soul around for personal gain means that at best you're desecrating someone's body and at worst you're tormenting someone's spirit after death.

The magic might be neutral but the person using it is still at least kind of an asshole.

>>55375941
>Making mindless undead binds necromantic forces to the body, nothing more
If this were true, then spectres and wraiths controlled by necromancy wouldn't exist, now would they?

>>55378757
You aren't really comparing shoving a soul back into a decomposing body in order to control it like a disgusting puppet to mending bones and sealing wounds, are you? That's like justfying Frankenstein's actions by saying that it's no more unnatural than dressing a wound.

Magic is neutral, but using it to perform necromancy is like using chemical warfare to wipe out a village and justfying by saying that weapons are not inherently evil.

Yes and yes.

>LG cleric
yep.

>>55366817
My current pc is an unsanctioned psyker and (now a) mutant that worships battle before all other things, and keeps the mantra "Rule of Terror" as his guiding principle.
If the party's sororitas doesn't kill him, probly the only one who could, he will probably be a villain soon enough.
The party's adept has learned that the enforcer's guarding the central Astra Telepathica complex have been subverted into the cult we are hunting, and has called my pc back to protect her.
Protecting her will involve him murdering ALL of them, at night, in their rooms, using the map schematics of the complex she gave me earlier to evade patrols.

>>55366817
I played one who was well one his way to becoming a villain for his own species. The rest of the party were humans.

>>55366817
Easily. She works very hard to avoid that horrible, horrible fate.

> a pyromaniac elf wizard with no sense of right or wrong and an obsession with gaining knowledge and power

I mean, he's only nominally on the side of good now because the rest of the party happens to be good, or at least not-evil, so pushing him to the other side wouldn't be hard.

> an artificer girl who's the oldest sister in a large family and left home to look for her missing youngest brother

That would be a lot harder, since I've been intentionally playing up her gentle big sis traits. Not outright evil, but I guess she could temporarily resort to evil acts to protect her family.

Maybe not in the current campaign setting but the character could definitely be a sort of threat to the party, maybe not the BBEG tho.
Basically becoming the person she killed

>>55367172
Iida, sup.

Eh probably. He's the party 'bad cop' so it's only a few steps to becoming a dirty cop, to becoming a corrupt cop, to becoming actively involved in a criminal organization with eyes on a leadership position. He's trying his best not to go down that road but the rest of the party can't seem to get things done by following the 'proper' course of actions. At least as he sees it.

Well... accidentally evil, maybe. Pyromancers do that shit. But bbeg? I really don't think so, he's too smart and good.

>>55366817
Probably. In my game on hiatus I've got a half-elf wizard with poor self esteem and near-crippling self doubt that is probably developing some element of hero worship for the morally dubious black dragonborn death cleric after going down in 60% of combats so far and every time waking up to the cleric casting a heal on him. If he were to go evil he'd probably go from paranoid transmuter to confident and paranoid self-destructive alchemist of the "I refuse to fail, even if it kills me" type.

>>55366920
Mine, a discworld hippie wizard expert in alchemy and negromancy, because he thinks of it as recycling.

>>55366817
He's sort of half way there, he voluntarily let a crazy tranny retired terrorist do surgery on him to give him acid instead of saliva, and the tranny's advice was "live your own life kid, that's what I did and I got away with it all"

Deep down my character knows he's one bad day away from being a villain

>>55366817
Oh geeze... In the game I'm in right now my character has made a big slow transition from the first session 10 months ago to now.

>Started off as a shy and meek mage on the run from fantasy Egypt. Was optimistic and naive and grew up on romanticized tales of honorable knights in the country bordering his.
>Is currently a large armor-plated warrior sorcerer who now trusts no one except his fellow equals (the other player's characters) and is currently crusading for world conquest. He no longer believes in diplomacy and that people will only respect strength and force.

And the thing is is that even though all the other character's trust in *him* is starting to fracture due to his slowly growing insanity, we could never quite pin when the whole change started.

We all, out of game, can see that eventually there will either be a betrayal or something coming my character's way at the end of the game. We all have no animosity for what will come to be, but we all agree that the end of this game will be tragic and regretful, but very much needed.

So while it hasn't quite happened yet OP, the answer is yes.

>>55366817
Highest lvl guys only.
War god worshipping merc could become some sort of militaristic mastermind.
Barbarian could become a warlord of sorts.
Lizardfolk ranger/fighter/rogue who eats who he kills... Could work with that.
Warlock in debt to notthedevil, pretty obvious.
Wild magic sorcerer, likely not.

>>55366817
I play Lawful Neutral most of the time, that's more evil than Neutral Evil usually, because you can't blame instinct for your moral failings.

>>55366817
>LG Fighter that is afraid of magic
One of two ways; he gets mind raped into becoming evil, or he takes his hatred of magic too far and sets up a country that bans casters altogether.

>CG elf summoner
I very much doubt she could be a villain, although maybe she could be duped into being a villain's flunky if she trusted them enough. You don't see many lv21 flunkies, though.

>NE dwarven inquisitor
He's a public nuisance, and if he ever gets his hands on any actual power then yeah he'll qualify as a villain to most people, because he'd try his hardest to destroy the notion of romantic love.

>LN Paladin (it's not D&D)
Servant of a god of battle but generally an okay dude, he wouldn't make a good villain, unless it's one of those antagonists that are an obstacle to the party without actually being evil.

>Superhero Campaign
Classic super strong, super tough power combination.
She couldn't become a villain. She has unbreakable morals and is extremely highly optimistic.
She pulls her punches, even when drunk, which she is, regulaly and even Not!Count Aldolf Dracula's full magic mind control was able to get her to do worse then break a few bones and tear down a house that she knew was empty.

>Magical Girl Campaign
She is utterly terrified she's a future Villain as her magic is dark magic, she's the ancestor of the very first true witch, she fated to claim the throne of darkness and her power focus is a crystal that only naturally forms in the presence of maelevolent auras.
She's doing her very best to be as moral as possible to avoid what she fatalistically see's as her future.
She didn't do her research or she'd discover that most 'Dark' Magical Girls are normally pragmatic or just faux-anti-hero giant hams.

>Not! Bioshock Dieaselpunk & Biopunk Campaign.
Oh yeah.
She's an amoral, psychopathic Doctor, Surgeon & Scientist who's been enlisted into a suicide squad-esque band of individuals who are using this opportunity to avoid death row.
She's kidnapped and murdered close to a hundred people in the name of science and medicine and her ongoing research into a panacea for death has led to an outbreak of vampirisim.
Whilst her research is on the back burner for now, once the group is released, she plans to go right back to her small hospital and back to her research and experiments.
If she doesn't break and try to kill everyone with zombies again. That'll probably land her in the lethal injections chair or a live hemispherectomy as the government tries to get what she knows.

>>55366871
Kinda in the same boat here, the difference is that she's a sorcerer, so the Necromancy powers were forced upon her rather than being something she studied herself. Though, she also took a few levels as a Cleric of Weejas after she found religion.

The best way for her to be a villain would be if her old master came back and mind controlled her or something. Otherwise, she was pretty much objectively the nicest member of the party.

>>55366817
My latest PC is a kung fu Jedi deathknight, so...yeah.

>>55366817
>A lawful good Zealot who turned into the Pope
definitely

>A witch, actually the villain of the campaign against the remaining players
of course

>A hired gun and expert interrogator with a knack for fistfights
sure

> An old granny ex-spy veteran of WW2 of about 85 years
I doubt it

>A chaotic good gunslinger
nope

>A secret agent of Delta Green trying to do good
maybe, I doubt it

>A lawful good police Chief trying to unmask a monster cult and save the town, sacrificing himself in the way

NOT IN A MILLION YEARS, HE'S PURE

>>55366817
I have a Lawful Neutral Monk, whose main personality aspects are his being prideful yet kind and merciful. He doesn't kill his opponents for instance, not because it's right, but because it's a waste of potential, and is beneath him.
He could easily become evil, if he abandoned his masters teachings and became a narcissist, fighting not to better himself or others understanding of life, but for the pure sense of superiority, becoming stagnant in his growth.
But I don't think he could be a villain, only a minor antagonist, an obstacle to be over come, preying on the weak for his own satisfaction is sure to attract heroes at some point.

>>55366817

Not unless he's a villain, for, like, a druid who sees the encroachment of civilisation as an evil thing.

>>55380754

GOAT

>>55366817
>government agent/assassin
Antagonist, sure, outright villain... propably not, that would fall to her superiors. She doesn't work on a trully villainous scale. Assassination, spying, sabotage, but no big evil plan.

>racist elven mercenary mage
Certainly. Doesn't care about non-elves, outright hates orcs, trolls and undead, even though they are supposedly the same faction (Warcraft game, blood elf). Most likely to screw everyone else for the greater good of elven species.. including high and night elves.

Nah, this one's a goody two shoes. The previous one could, but then again he was a wizard.
