[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 8029297, member: 6701124"] I'm kind of befuddled about what in the description of CE makes you think someone CE wouldn't be a "psychopath of highest order". "CE creatures act with arbitrary violence, spurred by their greed, hatred, or bloodlust." - 5e "The major precepts of this alignment are freedom, randomness, and woe. Laws and order, kindness, and good deeds are disdained. Life has no value. By promoting chaos and evil, those of this alignment hope to bring themselves to positions of power, glory, and prestige in a system ruled by individual caprice and their own whims." - 1e "These characters are the bane of all that is good and organized. Chaotic evil characters are motivated by the desire for personal gain and pleasure. They see absolutely nothing wrong with taking whatever they want by whatever means possible. -- The strong have the right to take what they want, and the weak are to be exploited." - 2e "A chaotic evil character does what his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. He is viscious arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. ... Chaotic evil represents the destruction not only of beauty and life, but also of the order on which beauty and life depend." - PF How else would someone portray a person who is actively against all order (the reason 4e didn't allow chaotic good?) and only seeking their own benefit with no regard for others? If you want them to not engage in that whim of randomly killing whoever they have the urge to, then isn't that NE?
