It is actually the Sun god, who is the epitome of good in the world. I want the reveal to be saved for later in the game. is there any way to conceal the fact that He is Lawful Evil instead of Lawful good frThis is actually very similar to a situation in my world.One of the gods, Gol, is actually the remains of an evil elf king (there's been a few of those in my world) named Tembyrlane. He is evil through and through but heads a Neutral Good religion wihttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29611431/How_can_I_keep_this_gods_evil_alignment_secret_from_a_paladin?post_id=527767457#527767457This is actually very similar to a situation in my world.One of the gods, Gol, is actually the remains of an evil elf king (there's been a few of those in my world) named Tembyrlane.

And bringing the player in on it provides at least one additional brain to make the deception on the character even cooler.http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29611431/How_can_I_keep_this_gods_evil_alignment_secret_from_a_paladin?post_id=527751959#527751959This is what my recommendation is intended to avoid.

The worst sort of DM is one that controls the players more than they control themselves.

If an evil god masquerading as a good god can't even hid it from a 1st level paladin then why is he even trying? Just have his alignment undetectable by magical means, thohttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29611431/How_can_I_keep_this_gods_evil_alignment_secret_from_a_paladin?post_id=527725355#527725355No need to justify you hidding the Gods alignment by giving it a magic item.
