Summoning pit fiends in the middle of town sounds like fun (especially around all of those nobles in the Government District), but its not really EVIIIIIL. Think bigger.
So far here's what I've seen suggested that I like:
Working for Firkaag
Being a tyrant Lord of the DeArnise Keep
Kill everyone I'm asked to kill (Valygar, the Dwarves in the Underdark, Soulafein)
Anything else? Are there any exp/item rewards for evil only characters?

You really wanna be evil?

Sneak into the house of a friend who you know plays as much BG2 as you do. Locate where he keeps Disc2, smash it into a thousand fragments, and leave a sign saying...

"No one crosses the Shadow Thieves and lives,"

or something to that effect.

Make sure that you bar your door and windows that night, or you will end up in the SYM hospital, courtesy your friend.

If your friend comes and smashes Disc 2, get a swiss army knife and scartch "Helm sees all. Do not offend him in intent or in deed" on his monitor.

If your friend comes and scratches "Helm sees all. Do not offend him in intent or in deed." on your monitor with a Swiss army knife in retaliation for you utterly destroying his Disk 2, return to his house and program his computer so that when it is turned on, it will say "You will suffer, you will ALL suffer... Especially your hard drive!" In Irenicus's voice then go about sytematically incinerating itself from the inside out.

Hey, guys! This thread is going nowhere, real fast! The stuff you're posting about isn't EVIL - it's simply self-destructive! Had you been doing your scratching and note-leaving at an enemy's house, that'd be a different thing.

OKAYYYYYYYYY, so anyway, getting back to Evil stuff to do IN THE GAME, I poisoned the Druid Grove and when I got back to Trademeet I got a little exp from talking to the halfling but the Mayor reemed me out and so I didn't get that little scene where the two nobles talk to you about helping them (funny thing though, all of the shopkeepers and peasants still refer to me as "the hero of trademeet," guess there's only one script for them). So here's problem with this outcome - playing Evil is costing me exp points. Is this true of playing evil in the other quest I mentioned in my initial post? Are there any Evil only quest?

Not really. Unfortunately this game is tailored towards being good, no matter what anyone says. The thieves guild and hell quests are pretty much it.

There'S the Human Armor quest... you have to kill a silver dragon and the Armor can only be worn by evil characters... the only downside is that after going in the Underdark, you'll probably have better armor already...

Just discovered something interesting - I knew from the manual that once the partie's reputation drops too low (3 or lower) you will be randomly attacked anytime you return to Amn, but what I didn't know until now is that the soldiers and Cowled wizards that attack you are worth between 3000 - 4000 XP a piece! On top of that they're relatively weak, charm and hold person spells make the fight quite easy! I may miss out on a lot of quest XP but this seems a good way to make up for it (and its not even a cheat!), plus if it gets old I can always go to a temple and make some donations to get my reputation back up.

In one game my reputation dropped to 1 (I attacked the black lotus smuggler in the city gates, and ended up having the whole area go hostile). Eventually, I got attacked by cowled wizards/knights. I remember this fight as really hard. The knights all had names and hit for a ton of damage (insane), the wizards were just like average cowled wizards ... but geez, easy? I didn't have that impression. I guess maybe my party wasn't to high a level, but those guys were slamming vicious hits against me.

Also, one nice evil task has to do with Jan. When you go to recruit him originally, he gets accused of selling drugs or something silly by a stupid patrol guard. I insulted the guy constantly, and eventually he summoned in a party to attack us. The fight wasn't very hard, but it gave me a great deal of satisfaction killing them all right in front of the government building. Edwin even gave me that little speach, "I did not think this party would be to my liking, but, I am impressed."
