[QUOTE="Lonely Tylenol, post: 1639260, member: 18549"] Not usually. Chaotic Neutral is the "I want to do anything I feel like and the DM can't tell me otherwise cause I'm CN" alignment. However, there are some people who can pull off a good CN without making it really dumb. Like the survivalist who could care less about other people so long as they don't try to apply their rules to him..."You'll get my wand when you pry it from my cold dead hands." Or the highwayman who just robs people who happen to come by, regardless of whether they're fattened rich merchants with too much money, or taking the proceeds of the poorbox to the orphange. Or there's the barbarian who lives for battle but feels neither the pull of honour and justice nor the pull of cruelty and domination...both those roads lead to foolishness; only battle is truth. One could even play the crazy lunatic, come down from the mountain to bring his "wisdom" to the ignorant and save the world from itself. That would be a pretty convincing CN, if you could pull it off. It's possible to play a good CN. But acting like a boob and then hiding behind your alignment is kinda lame. And it's a cliche'd lame, too. Chaotic Stupid has been around since 1st edition. [/QUOTE]
