The Book of Ultimate Neutrality

[Salad Shooter]

We've got the Book of Exalted Deeds and the Book of Vile Darkness, what about the Book of Ultimate Neutrality? Is there one somewhere down the WoTC list being brewed? Is it just a dumb idea?

Is it just a dumb idea?

It is. I'd much rather have a book of chaos and a book of law.

Hmm...say...THAT is a good idea...

edit: by the way...*sniff* you didn't have to just shoot down my idea like that *sniff* *tear*

I think we need books of Law, Chaos and the two main aspects of neutrality- Apathy and Balance.

Seriously.

Meh, I see BOVD and BOED as being munch books for evil and good respectively. "I'm so good/evil I can do THIS!"

Neutral is already munched. No compulsion to do something or prevent it being done. I've never come across a spell that hurts neutral people more than it does evil/good. (see holy word, blasphemy, unholy blight, protection from anything but evil, etc etc etc)

So, true neutral already has enough game advantages. It doesn't need a prestige class that lets it kick ass more.

Roll on Book of Swirling Chaos and Rigid Law, though.

I feel so strongly on this issue I must repeat myself. Or not.

What makes a good man go neutral? Lust for gold? Power?
Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

Oohhh... make the neutrality about consequences. If I'm apathetic, the universe burns. But that's okay, because maybe something will grow from the ashes. My dog (animal companion) will die though. That would suck. If I'm empathic and jump in to help, that guy will be king for 4 more years. That would suck too.

Eh. Maybe I'd get around to buying it, maybe not. Whatever.
