82. Did you lie on the Evil Test to make yourself seem more goodly?
Scoring:
0-10: You either haven't played this character for long, or you are RIDICULOUSLY goodly.
11-20: For a long term character, you are a shiny good guy. But if you've only played for a year or so, you may be on a dark or sketchy path.
21-30: You've gotten some evil on you... whether by your own choices, or due to bad luck. You could still be basically a good guy, though, especially if you've played the character for a long time.
31-40: OK, at this point you're getting sketchy. You may not be evil per se, depending on how many of your points came from your own choices, but you are not a pure shiny good guy, either.
41-50: You are pulling ahead of the pack in the evil department. There may still be hope for you, but your hands are not clean.
51-60: You are not nice people. You may (or may not) have some redeeming qualities or virtues, but you are at least kind of a bad guy.
61-70: Yup. Evil. You would totally set off a Detect Evil spell.
71 -80: If you're not already a campaign villain, you should be.
And for my own reference, my current score on various PCs:
Omi got to 10, after over a decade of playing, mostly on technicalities like 'turns into a supernatural being' and 'inflicted someone'.
Fathom, unsurprisingly, made it all the to 28 (probably 1/4 of which were in the last event or two).
And Trev made it to 6, despite having played her only a year.
Need to do Mary, too, at some point, though I expect her to be very low because she was only around for three events.
