[QUOTE="MerakSpielman, post: 810912, member: 7464"] An intelligent chaotic evil person is quite capible of blending into any group he desires (especially if he has ranks in bluff). He can rescue Timmy from the well, and get a small reward and be happy. He can be payed to drop Timmy head-first down the well (as long as he knows he won't be caught) for the same sum. A neutral evil person isn't in it for themselves. They want to bring evil into the world. They like evil and want more of it everywhere. A chaotic evil person doesn't care about the "Great Cause of Evil." Evil could rule the world or not. They really don't care, as long as they are on the winning side either way. A chaotic evil person might, on a whim, might seduce a beautiful young woman with delightful romance and gifts, just so he can get a piece of a$$ before he moves on to bigger and better things, leaving her without a second thought. OTOH, a neutral evil person would go out of their way to seduce beautiful young women in every town they visit, just because they like the feeling of having ruined people's lives. A chaotic evil alchemist might sell poison and drugs on the side, not caring for who dies or gets addicted. He just makes a bit more money, and that's all that matters to him. OTOH, a neutral evil alchemist might sell poison and drugs on the side with the deliberate intention of killing lots of people and promoting the degridation of society through addiction. They might even give both away for free just to cause havoc. A chaotic evil wizard might build his tower over the most holy site of the local tribesmen because of the added power the spot gives him. OTOH, a neutral evil wizard might build his tower over the most holy site of the local tribesmen because he wanted to cause pain by destroying their religious culture. Evil's greatest power is the ability to blend in. Evil people can pretend to be good and lawful in their daily lives and still be just as evil. Good people can't pretend to be evil in their daily lives. Evil people can never get the opportunity to commit an evil act and still be just as evil because of their philosophical outlook and the way they feel about events they witness in their lives.
