[QUOTE="Menexenus, post: 2493005, member: 8951"] [b]Guilty as charged[/b] I created a Chaotic Neutral character precisely because I wanted to be able to justify any action my character might choose to take. Basically, I was running from the LG and NG characters that I usually play. I wanted to try playing someone who could turn away from the cries of the helpless without violating alignment. I didn't want to actively seek to hurt anyone, but I didn't want to be a goody two-shoes, either. So CN is what I chose. In the end, though, the character was much more responsible than even I expected he'd be. I guess I played him as more of a true neutral (without all the druidic "balance" garbage) than a chaotic neutral. In any case, I do see your original point, Psion. Many DMs have no problem banning certain evil alignments because such characters tend not to contribute to a cooperative story line. I think the same reasoning could be used to ban CN as well.
