[QUOTE="Deadguy, post: 2495491, member: 2480"] Now that I don't agree with. 3E at last made some effort to give Neutral (both on the Law-Chaos and Good-Evil axes) an identity of its own, rather than an absence of extreme traits. It's that kind of reading (the absence of Neutral traits) that tends to blur discussions, since N has no value except as a smear of G-E or L-C elements. Neutrals have their beliefs too. Indeed it's preceisly that that makes me happy to pigeonhole a lot of NPCs as plain Neutral - concerned with family and community above all else. Very handy. On the question of Chaotic Neutral, I understand some of Psion's fears. It [i]is[/i] an alignment that is abused to produce individualist troublemaker characters who really don't want to adventure with a party. As a rule of thumb, though, these days, if someone refuses to knuckle down and join in party activities then they create a new character who will. I'm not interested in running a solo parallel campaign for their troublemaker character. [/QUOTE]
