Kind of liked the other cover idea a bit better, but that is just me. Go Witch!

One thing I have thought about on this subject, is a big diff between LG and LE. Justice and vengeance. Keep in mind, if someone messes with you, you have the right to mess with them back so hard, they never want to mess with you again.

That seems to be more personality trait rather than a morale trait. Alignments, to me, is a set of basic morales (with some alterations from person to person) that help defines what someone believes in within themselves.

Sounds like a fun character. I'm thinking of going Lawful Evil myself in our next game. :)

While you're working stuff out with your GM you might want to check out one of our products, The Genius Guide to Ice Magic. It might give you some ideas as well as new [cold] spells.

Hyrum.

Yup! I already own it! XD

Not caring about freedom, dignity, or life makes one amoral, not necessarily evil. Strongly amoral people are often considered insane as well.

The best example of "Lawful Evil" I can think of is of Darth Vader. He works within a system of rules (the Force, and the Empire), he wants to be on top of that system of rules, but he acts with honor (in a way). In Episode 4, he doesn't ambush Obi-Wan, he fights an honorable battle. He expects success, and punishes failure (force choke). He doesn't kill for the sake of killing, he kills to prove a point. "We are the Empire. You will be assimilated." Wait, wrong franchise.

Having a code of conduct and ethics is important, otherwise the character just becomes a generic "evil" guy. If you've ever seen the movie "The Professional," you can see that in the main character. As a hitman, Jean Reno's character has a mantra "No women, no kids." He is also a sympathetic bad guy, since relies on a Mafia boss for his money (lack of intelligence), and he cares for and protects a child against a much bigger evil.

"Payback" is another movie to draw inspiration. Mel Gibson's character just wants his money back. He's ruthless against the people who have his money, but he's not psychotic. He also has rules and a code of ethics, if a bit different from society's norm. He has an ally (Maria Bello) that he protects and cares for.

Good luck.

Oh, and don't be "evil" for the sake of evil. You're playing a hero (even if he's an anti-hero). Don't target your PC allies; make the real bad guys the target of your wrath.

Lol yes. I know not to kill the party, or harm them. I was thinking of just playing Chaotic Neutral, but the DM is letting me alone play LE and I want to try something new out. Thanks for the inspiration. Going to go check out those movies

Thank you very much. I enjoyed reading your ideas on lawful evil and it kind of made up my whole summary of what my character could be in the game. Me and the DM are working a bit on the Witch class before it comes out in the APHB, but we made our own Hex that will help increase my character's background. Everything he cast, spell wise, is all cold damage (if any damage). However, he can never revert to using other elements such as fire, earth, acid, etc. He can and only forever use cold. As well, he can bound himself to a weapon (meditating for about an hour) to allow it to deal cold damage, and nothing more. We call this hex "Witch of the North" XD

Thanks a lot for the help.

Thanks for the reply. Helps me out a bit. Really like the quote
