[QUOTE="Fion, post: 6382772, member: 64365"] I agree. To many play the alignment as 'I do what I want when I want, who gives a :):):):) about the rest of you'. I've always been fond of it for similar reasons to your own. The character follows his own path and his own set of rules. Not a madman but a survivalist who cares little for the strictness of civilization but does care about his or her goals and the lives of their allies. They may do things others find odd, or not care about things for reasons they cannot grasp. A CN Barbarian makes a lot of sense, I've always enjoyed the alignment when playing warlocks. One of my most memorable was a kooky wizard who's arcane experimenting and potion mixing has done something funny to his head. He wasn't necessarily insane he just lacked motivation for anything beyond what was right in front of his face. Was drawn to adventuring for the shine of gold and the power of the arcane. Did he occasionally do some disagreeable things, you bet your ass but he cared about the people who surrounded him in his own way. I've always found using a grid to help newer players understand the concept of alignment. Lawful/Neutral/Chaos at the top and Good/Neutral/Evil along the side. As each meet up a short description not unlike DMMike's explains how each interact. [/QUOTE]
