Nope.

It's very, very cheap.

I think 25 or 30.

Yes, although I think it's pretty generous and any character with a role that makes sense for this edge will easily hit it.

While it's obvious that you aren't exactly going to >specifically avoid killing good characters in self-defense >when they attack you, was the edge intended to be more strict >than that?
Your kills do need to skew evil rather than good.
Here I'd be careful about deploying the "evil means never having to say you're sorry" idea, although I'm a big fan of it in general. Conceptually, at least, I feel like this is more of an edge for the kind of character that actually is evil but probably doesn't think of themselves as such.

Here is what I found out:
1: It is NOT imm-only-given. 2: It's super cheap. It was cheaper than the human_only edges with terrains. 3: It requires a certain number of EVIL kills. (Like 10 or 15 I think.)
And that's that. I'm not sure if killing goodies will prevent you from taking it, at the time Fjodir had killed 0 goodie mobs and 0 good players. 0 neutral players as well even, perhaps even 0 neutral mobs.
The edge helped me A LOT as an evil that refused to kill goodies for the most part of his life. Ranking got alot easier once I got the edge.
Any more specific questions about it? Always shoot first and then call whatever you hit the target.

Basically the drawback is that you won't have protection vs goodies.

but that's kind of tangential to the point in question, I think?

This is an edge that evens out your xp bonus if you're RP'ing an evil character that doesn't attack goods and flips your protection bonus.
Any class can take this edge.
It does have some PK restrictions/requirements. If you think about the meaning of the edge, they shouldn't be too hard to figure out. You do need some immxp to take this edge but it isn't any more than a basically decently written role will net you.

Since I've been able to take this option on a number of ap's I've played, and whilst I like killing other evils (no protection spell involved), I've also killed a lot of good and neutrals. So any restriction would appear not to be a major one. It is certainly not true to say that you need to be rp'ing an evil character that doesn't attack goods.
I would also note that I qualified the second bit about ap's by saying "as far as I know". This is because I don't recall having the option on my non-aps.

If you think this is about how I feel then you've clearly placed undue focus on the title. Rayihn states that this is ALL total misinfo and goes onto say that the edge is for people that don't hunt good chars. My experience is that you can kill a lot of good chats and still take this edge.
