I have a homebrew setting for just was kind of forced into. Kne of my players secretly wants to bring an evil God into the prime material plane. Idk how to handle exploring th in s and allowing the other pcs and players not to figure out he's evil. Ik it's not cool to keep an evil PC secret from the players but I've always been one for shock and drama.
I'm just uh unsure how to run it without revealing they're plans too soon. My players tend to guess stuff too early anyways.
IMO, summoning a god to the prime material plane is something that should take a good bit of time and not culminate until around 15th (ish) level. It should be a very big deal to summon a god after all.
That should give you plenty of time to figure things out. Besides, most campaigns end around 12th level of not sooner. Very few go all the way to 20. It might legitimately not actually come up before the campaign ends.
Honestly, the easiest way to do it is to subvert another group. So your player wants to summon Bhaal. Fine. Create an adventure where the party needs to find a cult that is trying to summon Tiamat, and they have to stop it. Sounds like something they should want to stop, so everyone’s on board. What no one else realises is that the bad PC is going to subvert the ritual somehow and complete it to summon Bhaal instead of Tiamat, bringing the betrayal and the real big bad into play.

I was planning on that being the final beat in the story and ending the game that way there all lvl 4 going to be 5 next session
It can take over a year (or longer) to get from 5th level to 15th. You got time.

Hmm, I don't know your players, but if a game with evil PCs isn't the sort of game they signed up to play, it might not work for them.
