[QUOTE="ATO_DM, post: 236040, member: 5289"] Talk to your DM about the characters playing their alignment. Chaotic Neutral is not just an excuse to act in a selfish or deceitful manner. I am going to break down the definition of the Chaotic Neutral Alignment from the PHB to let you know exactly how screwed up these characters are. Oh, but before I get to that I have one question: How the heck is a KNIGHT going to have a CN alignment? Especially when he's a "watchman/judge" everything about the terms knight and judge SCREAM Lawful something. Anyway check this out: CN neutral "values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom" this doesn't mean that CN will infringe on the liberty of others it just means they might not go out of their way to protect it. This is definitely not a free invitation to loot a helpless person. Also, the ranger is supposedly Chaotic Good. Unless, this is a misprint the CG character should have been the last person to even think of taking from the helpless. The archetype for the CG alignment is Robin Hood, whose attitudes/beliefs/actions are the exact opposite of the Ranger in your game. If I were the DM I would have had serious reprocussions for the Ranger for such a blatant disregard of his characters professed alignment. If some serious changes don't happen on the part of the group I would definitely role-play my character in a NG manner. Even if it would entail turning the party into the authoroties, or maybe even armed conflict between yourself and the group. This is definitely a game I would not like to be a part of. It just seems like a bunch of munchkinizing fools that are going to use every possible excuse just to power up their characters as much as possible. If you can't talk some sense into this group my best advice is to avoid the frustration of playing with them, and quit the game. Best of Luck, in a bad situation. [/QUOTE]
