They obey laws out of fear of punishment, and are stingy with giving out their word because they don't like being forced to honor unfavorable agreements.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The 3e nickname for LE is the Dominator. LE characters follow rules or personal codes, but without mercy or compassion. Some LE characters have personal taboos, such as not personally killing in cold blood, which they imagine sets them above unprincipled villains. LE is the most dangerous alignment because it’s methodical and often successful evil.</li> </ul>Neutral Evil <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> [*]2e NE is simple: whatever has to be done to get ahead gets done. Working alone or with others are both acceptable. 2e comments that NE characters are especially susceptible to bribery. [*]The 3e nickname for NE is the Malefactor. NE characters are out for themselves, pure and simple; they hold no illusions that following laws or codes would make them more noble; but neither do they seek out conflict. NE is the most dangerous alignment because it’s pure evil. [*]NE is simply ‘Evil’ in 4e, and its motto is “It is my right to claim what others possess.” E characters don’t necessarily go out of their way to hurt others, but are perfectly willing to do so for the sake of expedience or convenience. They use rules and order to maximize personal gain, and enjoy caste structures which put them at the top of the heap at the expense of others. </li> </ul>Chaotic Evil <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> [*]CE characters in 2e are motivated by personal gain and pleasure. Laws and governments are the tools of weaklings, who don’t deserve to keep anything they can’t hold. CE characters might band together to oppose a powerful enemy, but such groups are subject to abrupt and frequent changes of leadership. [*]The 3e nickname for CE is the Destroyer. CE characters are greedy, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. CE characters can be made to work together by force, but the leader lasts only as long as he can avoid assassination. CE is the most dangerous alignment because it destroys beauty, life, and order. [*]4e’s CE motto is “I don’t care what I have to do to get what I want.” CE characters each believe that him or herself is the only person who matters, and will kill, steal, and betray to gain power. Their word is meaningless, and some have such warped views that anything not directly contributing to his or her goals become targets of destruction. </li> </ul></blockquote>
