This ia a c&p of a something I posted on WOTC, boards, so if I'm breaking any rules please let me know. I also know that some (if not most) of the people who post here also post on WOTC boards, but I wanted to hear what people here think anyway.
Here goes:
I thought of a devious idea this afternoon . Imagine a party of goody goody paladin(s) and clerics of Selune. And now imagine among them a cleric of Shar, yes you heard correctly. Working with them, and at the same time spying for the church of Shar. Fun, isn’t it?
I don't usually do this sort of thing (planning ahead how to derail a campaign), but I must admit its fun. Especially if you have a guy playing with you who usually plays LAWFULL GOOD PALADIN OF TORM WHO IS SO RIGHTEOUS THAT HE CAN TURN NEUTRAL (sorry, I got a bit carried away), or he plays some sort of noble savage - barbarian bard with maxed diplomacy and that kind of stuff.
The thing is, if we (me and one of my co-players) played things right, I bet the rest of the players would swallow the story hook, line and sinker. Of course, once they found out who we really are, our goose would pretty much be cooked, but it would be well worth it.
Now, how would we stay undercover? First of all for the alignment: undetectable alignment (or misdirection). Spontaneous casting....here's a clw from the wand (hey, I'm not spending that spell, I might need it later), for higher levels, I'd just have lo learn heal (I could maybe take a couple levels of mystic theurge to compensate). Turn undead, hm...first thing (and only, so far) that comes to mind is control undead, or just take Cha as my dump stat and say "I'm not even going to bother".
Anything else?
As for the domain, I found it a bit odd that Shar doesn't have trickery domain, so maybe I'd take knowledge and cavern and think up some plausible story why I have those. Or I could do it more elaborate and take Eshowdow as my deity and skip the explanations, since (and I'm willing to put my GP's on it) no one of my players know who/what that is. Naturally, I would have to get my DM to agree to everything above.
I must seem like a hand-rubbing villain, don’t I? Good, because I'm feeling so eeeevil right now!
So, do I have all the angles covered? No? But that's where you come in my minions HAHAHAHAHA! <grabbing the air>

Haley: Hey wait a minute, aren't dark elves evil?
Nale: Oh, my, no. Not since they became a player race. Now the whole species consists of nothing but chaotic good rebels, yearning to throw off the reputation of their evil kin.
Haley: What are the scimitars for?
ZZ'dtri: They're standard issue. |

First thing... Order of the Stick is awesome. http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=1
Secondly, what if someone just catches you and hacks you in half...?

| Ah, well, if someone catches me than I'm <censored>. The whole point of my post is how not to get caught. |

No problem, but don't thank me, thank Firefox, Mycroft, and UrbanDictionary!
Oh, and on the original topic of this scroll...it's an interesting idea, but not something I'm going to use anytime soon. |

Well, it was supposed to be copy & paste, I guess I got it a bit wrong.

Eventually the players will find out so perhaps you should start to plan for that contingency.
Maybe let the player create an alternate character so that when the inevitable happens he will still be able to play. |

I had that possibility covered, but none of that is going to happen anyway. We usually don't allow good and evil characters in the same party (sort of a tradition).
