[QUOTE="Andion Isurand, post: 2558408, member: 10062"] I have encountered roleplayers who completely butcher the lawful/chaotic alignment axis when they play characters. Especially the Chaotic Neutral alignment. Personally, I have known more than a few players who would create a chaotic nuetral character and use that alignment as an excuse to commit random acts of absolute absurdity and self-destruction, often casting spells at point blank range to kill off the entire party when that player gets too bored. Quite often, these 'loonies' play Chaotic Neutral characters as if their alignment were called 'Random Stupid'. Consider the following words, that deal with the chaotic/lawful alignment axis: Lawful vs. Chaotic Structured vs. Unfettered Planned vs. Spontaneous Thinking vs. Feeling Disciplined vs. Devoted Reasonable vs. Intuitive Fairness vs. Reputation Left-brained vs. Right-brained 'Chaotic' players are far from being random in their behavior, and will maintain plenty of personality traits that remain unchanged for long peroids of time. (and no, randomness by itself is not considered a personality trait, and stupidity is determined by lack of mental ability scores) ******************************** What do you guys think? How would you tell (How have you told) someone that they are roleplaying an alginment incorrectly? What kinds of things have your characters done, that reflect the Lawful or Chaotic axis?
