Some of it is micro-managing vs not CE "smart" bad guy would thrive off entropy. Destabilize a system and thrive amongst the chaos they cause. They will let others "pick up the pieces". Giving the wand of Orcus to a random mortal and not caring how they use it because.. in the end your evil...

You misread what I was trying to put out there. I was saying, if you go by the personality argument that you stated as flawed... then by that flawed view, you could apply it to LE in such a way. Not that that is what I believe, but putting the shoe on the other foot by that rationale

This is true... one could say, if arguing personality and "smart" in absolutes, that LE are incapable of being "smart" as well. Considering flexible and creative thought are more approaching the domains of Chaos, if you arguein an absolute, personality basis, you may say all Lawful characters...

Been awhile since I read the Dark Tower, but I think Martin.. or Randall Flag are CE they seem like some sort of human incarnation of demons who aren't really sure about the "why" behind the terrible things they do. This lack of clear motivation enrages them all the more

I'm going to disagree, mindfulness and Critical thinking are different things. Wits and thinking on a whim is a different type of intelligence... but it is not stupidity. Now will that make you prone to working in a house of cards, sure, but wits and ingenuity aren't blocked from CE concepts

The system would be the underling's/sheeple's best attempt at trying to shoehorn order into a CE leader's regime... I would think for the most part "systems" would often have to be a rationalization of those "weaker" than the CE leader... so I don’t really disagree. Though, "system" building and...

Whims versus long-term planning is a big one IMO. You can be cunningly unpredictable and not stupidly unpredictable.

Good question, "civilization" builders tend to have a long-term plan, at least IMO that is the difference because I picture him as LE. He also seems to be following a path a dictates... This is very different from Warlord Dementus from Furiosa, who doesn't follow any "scriptures" and seemingly...

I just think of most Mad Max/Fallout Raider chiefs as CE. So, Darwinian bad guys with the "cream rising to the top". They are the strongest, smartest, and most charismatic... but they lack any long-term perspectives, they don't care about legacy, there is no future with them. So they can be...

Evil Anarchists can be pretty dang intelligent. Just destroying status quo and smashing "eggy-waggies"... not sure how to reference Clockwork Orange, but there is an intelligent evil gangleader as well

The Joker

Darksun, I would love to see. I would probably adopt that as my primary setting (though I am plenty happy world-building away) I feel like seasons may have a player-facing option of just generalized class-type resources with an associated tone. Then a more setting-specific focus with a more...

Also, personally hope it's a martial resource. Then I would get it an continue to wonder why my players never choose a fighter

You know, hope is is a mistake.... If you can't fix what's broken, you'll go insane.

I typically find a way to put action into missed opportunities.. or action into taking hits. Sometimes a change of perspective can help "unfreeze" a narrative

I nerfed it as far as the max movement you can drag an opponent with it... but that is mostly mechanical feeling 🧀 of having a lithe dex-based character suddenly forcefully drag big brutes around a battlefield. Honestly, it feels to me like there should be that differentiation on Str based...

If you fight enough Large + size monsters it becomes a dead feat. I think that fact helps balance it. Fighting alot of Big bads? Consider if your feat will be dead

Dark 70's style? I like it.

I am thinking CharGen, pretty spendy. But it looks like I can generate map tiles with it, and consistent items and such. Looks like it combines the best of many worlds with several different engines, is that fairly accurate for anyone who knows?
