In an rpg you don't know where the light source is. How do you avoid pillowshading? Thanks.

Is this a 2d or 3d rpg? Why do you want to avoid pillow shading?
--Medicine Storm2d. And isn't pillow shading ugly as well as bad practice?

The key is consistancy. As long as your shading is all in the same direction, or there is a uniform look of no shading, it will look very good.
When you have hard shading and light points in any and every direction, that is, it is inconsistant, then you will get issues - it will look bad and should be avoided.
I have to concur with @foz on uniformity, because, as a player I don't think I ever even noticed/appreciated good shading, but I ALWAYS noticed careless or inconsistent work.
