[QUOTE="Xaov, post: 1908210, member: 22820"] Personally I have always viewed alignment as a sort of philosophy. Chaotic characters tend to be more freespirited with whatever they tend to do. Chaotic good characters do not like evil, but unlike the lawful Good character they are willing to look the other way if they see someone do something wrong within the group. Chaotic Neutral Characters do not view the world as good or evil, they believe in the gray area, they believe that on certain occaisions perhaps doing something that would be normally considered evil is the only way to get things done, however they don't dedicate themselves to always doing something evil or always doing something good. Lawful Neutral characters also believe in a gray area their personal code comes before anything else. If something conflicts with it, they will maintain their code regardless of what it is. Chaotic Evil characters are only out to get what they want, they won't let anyone stand in their way, good or evil. They work in teams if it suits their wants. However they would most likely accept a deal and then once they get an item or kill a person. They will typically blackmail them with evidence of the hit, or keep the item and demand more money. Lawful Evil characters are the type of corrupt politicians they use the law to get what they want. In my opinion they are more concerned with gaining power to rule, as opposed to chaotic who want power to serve their own wants. All in all, I view the difference between Chaos and Law to be dealing with a philosophy of law versus an approach towards personal means. this is just my take. [/QUOTE]
