[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 230236, member: 463"] Good analysis in that last post. I know someone who's highly chaotic IRL. When her shop was burgled, instead of leaving it to the police she used her contacts to locate the burgler, went round and threatened him with a gun. So she ended up being the one in court! The authorities don't like Chaotic behaviour - that's true for pretty much all worlds and times. There's nothing in the rules to say chaotics have to be insane, or have no sense of proportion. Killing blacksmith for poor service sounds highly CE. If he insulted and threatened you when you complained, killing him in a fit of rage might just squeak into CE - question is, how would you judge this behaviour IRL? Sounds pretty evil to me. I think real life moral norms can be a better guide to D&D alignment than is often admitted. My CN (online) friend will pull a gun on people without very much provocation, but she's never actually shot anyone... [/QUOTE]
