Laws and order, kindness, and good deeds are disdained. Life has no value. By promoting chaos and evil, those of this alignment hope to bring themselves to positions of power, glory, and prestige in a system ruled by individual caprice and their own whims.The AD&D DMG (p 24) has this to say: CHAOTIC EVIL: The chaotic evil creature holds that individual freedom and choice is important, and that other individuals and their freedoms are unimportant if they cannot be held by the individuals through their own strength and merit. Thus, law and order tends to promote not individuals but groups, and groups suppress individual volition and success.So I would play a "smart" CE character as seeking to enhance their personal power without regard for the lives, rights, or happiness of others, respecting the power of others only insomuch as it poses a threat to the character's. And I would put an 11 or higher in Intelligence.</blockquote>
