[QUOTE="JDJblatherings, post: 3969579, member: 52044"] I'm not talking basic sets here i'm talking original D&D. page 9 of my men&magic book has a chart showign which speices are grouped unde reach alignment, no discussion about good or evil is made. from the greyhawk supplement- Chaotic Alignment by a player generally betokens chaotic action on the player's part without any rule to stress this aspect, i.e. a chaotic player is usually more prone to stab even his lawless buddy in the back for some desired gain. However, chaos is just that— chaotic. Evil monsters are as likely to turn on their supposed confederates in order to have all the loot as they are to attack a lawful party in the first place. While there is no rule to apply to groups of chaotic players operating in concert, referees are urged to formulate some rules against continuing co-operation as fits their particular situation, but consideration for concerted actions against chaotic players by lawful ones should be given. yup some mixing up of chaotic and evil behavior but it certainly doens't indicate chaos is universally evil just really bad at long lasting cooperation. in the eldritch wizardry supplement we see the AD&D system starting to appear with the introcution of some momsters as Lawful with neurtal tendencies, highly good and highly evil but otherwise lawful along with chaotic creatures that are highly evil. Distinctions within the law-neutal-chaos axis. [/QUOTE]
