For the DM: Have the players go on a quest to find the ancient Sword of Treachery. It's normally no different from any other sword, but it gains incredible power when wielded against someone who until recently thought of the wielder as an ally.

In other words, it's a sword of +5 against party members.

For the players: give this sword to the Chaotic Evil party member.

@feotakahari: As a 3.5 maven...

3.5 Hydras come in two different types. Regular and Lernean. Regular hydras die if you 1)kill the body or 2)cut off all the heads.

Lernean hydras have immortal bodies and regenerating heads, and thus need fire or acid applied to the neck stumps.

I haven't known true fear in a very, very long time.

I understand you've got a big hard-on for the Book of Vile Darkness, but a skeletal gelatinous cube cannot be justified.

Game of Thrones-themed Guess Who?. Characters you knock over can be gleefully described as "killed" to make it show-accurate.

[down]I'm a firm believer in reusing an old thread on the subject rather than creating a new, redundant one.

Your Bard's Vicious Mockery takes the form of "yo mama" jokes.

[up] I was in a game a couple of months back with a bard whose Vicious Mockery was consistently 2-3 word insults. Said bard also had an Intelligence rating of 3, literally as low as is possible in a random roll.

[up] That sounds both fun and frustrating.

Another bad idea: play as a pyromancer who is obsessed with cauterization. As it, that is their go-to whenever anyone in the party is even slightly wounded.

Have "Ice Castle" in your spell list, and insist on casting it when you're already indoors.

Deaf Bard.

Just to ask the DM if vicious mockery can be flipping the bird at people so hard they take damage.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.
