Steal This Idea: The Corrupting Influence

While contemplating the balance between the power of classes and the interdependence of the party, I came up with an idea for a campaign that completely smashes it, all for fun and entertainment, of course.

It also breaks another part of the D&D paradigm, that all NPCs are, well, NPCs. This idea makes a player into an NPC, sort of.

The key idea is that one member of the party discovers an evil magical item during a routine adventure. As the campaign progresses, the magic item continues to make him more powerful as it makes him ever more evil. The campaign ends with the other players attempting to defeat the evil PC.
