The Book of Ultimate Neutrality

[BiggusGeekus]

Futurama jokes aside ("If I die, tell my wife I said 'hello'.") it could be done.

I played in a game once where the forces of neutrality were at odds with each other. One was for moderation the other for balance. They occasionally waged war by proxy, which is how the PCs were involved. I also seem to recall some magic item in Baldur's Gate that did damage proportional to how far away the opponent was from true neutrality.

If you wanted to go another route, you could have a book that was all about how to DM moral relativism. Paladins killing captured kobolds, arch liches having a point of view, etc.

That might be interesting. Or it might not. I can't make up my mind.

I would really like a book of Ultimate Neutrality, just as I would like Law & Chaos to be done as well.

Book of Concordant Opposition.

Hmm, would be interesting.

Would most likly have to deal in part with handling "good" and "evil" even-handedly.

I don't think there's many "Outsider" Prince types that can associate with them aside from the Elemental Princes which don't really fit in my opinion (in an Elemental book, yes, in an 'Alignment' book no).

It would be nice to see the Rilmani stated up, and individual Rilmani would be perfect for some parts of the Greater Fiends.

Although, unless it fixates on TN/Rilmani, I don't see a unifying theme for content additions (Feats, PrC, Spells).

I dont know that I would want an entire book about Neutrality. The politics of indecision can only hold my attention for so long.

I would, however, like to see write ups about the Elder Elementals and their princes plus discussions of various jinn sovereign organizations like was done for the demons, devils, angels, and whatnot in the other two books.

They could then put a couple pictures in there showing some genies bare buttocks and a nipple or two, that way it gets the "mature" sticker (eye rolls all around) and is sure to sell!

I'd much rather see some nice Chaos and Law books.

I would like to see all three of these books:

The Book of Perfected Order
with Perfected Feats
Write ups of Modrons and formians
One prestige class - cuz they would all look the same
OK, two prestige classess, the above one and the Thrall of Primus.

The Book of Unbound Entropy
with Unbounded Feats
Write ups of Slaad and Githzerai dance clubs
the Ceaser Slaad prestige class (don't tell me you didn't see that one comming)

The Book of Uncaring Whatever
with Uncaring Feats
Write ups of Elemental Lords and Djinni
Some elemental prestige class that are actuall cool
The Servant of Surtur Prc.
A discription of the City of Brass

Seriously, I would like to see all three books. The cool thing is that WoTC doesn't have to do them. It's not like these names/concepts are Product Identity.

I definately don't need a book on neutrality, as others have said its good enough already. THe books on law and chaos would be nice, especially to help players understand the big differences between the two.

 

[Snapdragyn]

I would very much like to see a book discussing relative moralism in D&D.

I'd much rather see some nice Chaos and Law books.

'Twould fit perfectly in a book on Neutrality. And I'm talking of a book that covers LN, N, and CN. The BoED covered LG, NG, and CG rather well and the BoVD... well, it kind of ignored NE actually.

Well, I'd want a Neutral Book to cover the following:
Slaad
Formians
Inevitables
Modrons
Rilmani
A discussion on the different types of neutral
Apathy Feats (c'mon, you know you want them)
Plus other stuff (requisite PrC's, Spells, and Items)

Neutral could work as the focus for the book.....TN, of course........about how to be self-interested, but not corrupt, to care about your friends and family, but not be selfless, to be natural without being instinctive....animals, rilmani, maybe the "Planes of Purgatory" concept (where Neutral blends with the other alignments).

I think "Book of Concordant Balance" is probably the best title....."concordant" has a nice ring to it.

Law and Chaos books I'd like to see, too.

The Book of Ineffable Order
The Book of Random Change

And now that you mention it, a book on the elements would kick butt; perhaps one for all four.
