As a general rule, my thought on evil souls in general is... not all of them are true evils, but by the same token, some are irrevocably evil and absolutely unrepentant fof that fact.
Honestly, the only one this should really affect, powers wise, would be the paladin. They're the only ones who get into trouble if they willfully commit an evil act. And letting someone else do it so the paladin can technically keep his hands clean shouldn't fly. By participating in the planning and benefiting, he'd be involved.To give a bit more info:
I have a druid ,LN and a paladin LG in my games. I am heavily considering if i should take some of their powers away if they gonna go through with this. One pc, an investigator might be going solo with this and do the evil act by himself and sell the gems. Should i take powers away then?
I also have a swashbuckler pc who just considers the profit side of things.
I will also have to warn them just so this doesnt come out of the blue
Well the druid is lawful neutral, and he might become slightly more towards evil and lose the neutral aspe t required from druid alignment.Honestly, the only one this should really affect, powers wise, would be the paladin.

My advice is to resist the urge to shift alignment based on one event. Alignment should reflect a long-standing trend, not a single event. Keep it in mind, sure, but if they haven't been engaging in a lot of evil deeds, this single act won't make a sudden difference.Well the druid is lawful neutral, and he might become slightly more towards evil and lose the neutral aspe t required from druid alignment.
Paladin detected evil and i figured its the souls that resonate the evil.Out of curiosity, how do they know the souls inside are evil?
This is something that the powers of both sides of the Good/Evil spectrum will probably notice. The good deities asking the PCs to fix their misdeed. The evil powers probably asking them to help with other transactions. In fact, my first thought when reading this thread was "make a powers check".
