How to detect as evil?


Advice


Say your a paladin and you need to infiltrate some EVIL organization. In order to do this you are going to need to detect as EVIL not just hide your good aura under a bushel you need to ping EVIL.

How do you do it? More over how do you do it without losing your powers.


How do you do it?: Do something evil, like eat babies or burn orphanages or kick celestial kittens,

I typed this prior to reading the rest of the question.

Have someone cast Misdirection on you. Requires to have something evil on hand to misdirect you as, like an unholy sword or something.


Have someone cast infernal healing on you every minute :)

For a more permanent and less dependent-on-others method, become a 2nd level Master Spy.

Edit: Ninja'd by a much better suggestion in the form of Scavion's post.


The simplest way is to cast Misdirection. There's also a few obscure magic items that will just directly give a false read.

Yep, Misdirection is your best bet.

But really, Paladins make awful infiltrators. By some Paladin code interpretations lying is forbidden and even if you believe it's allowable under these kind of circumstances (and I do), most Paladins are pretty bad at it, seeing as they have few skill points and it's not a Class skill.

Really, this is what Inquisitors are for, they even have an Infiltrator Archetype, and it makes them detect as whatever Alignment they like.
