That is your first problem and until that problem is resolved, it doesn't matter what else the rest of the party plays.Chaotic Neutral is not an alignment that can function in a group-- not a sustained group. Nor would they want to! D&D is based around party-based adventuring, it is not a 1st player shooter nor a video game RPG where you walk around the village stealing everything that is in people's houses and selling them to the local shop that has infinite money, then go off alone to kill the monsters who are threatening the village (but not really any threat to you) because they are worth XP and have gold and then return to the village for further reward on your heroic feat at which point you use your bluff speech option to get more gold out of them... unless the strategy guide you are usings says there is a way to get more reward some other way.Chaotic Neutral people are insane, unpredictable and only follow the basic rules of decency to the point that their life is directly threatened. They are the sort of Libertarian nut jobs who carry AK-47s into their local burrito shop just to get a thrill out of frightening people and because the law won't stop them. And none of them can stand each others company for more than a few minutes before calling another a commie (LN) when their exercising their "freedoms" interfere with one another's "freedom" or one decides they should functionally cooperate in order to accomplish... well.... anything.The moment someone offers up a character with a CN in that alignment box, you should erase those letters as they nothing more than asking for permission to act like a jackass without consequence. Instead, just tell them they have no alignment and to just have their characters act like people who care about the world they are in, value things in it, care about their own livelihood and well being and are interested in cooperating with the other characters in the group-- and beyond that don't give two thoughts to what their alignment is and don't let any notion of what it is guide or inform any of their actions-- just their investment in getting along with the other characters and making sure this world they live in and the stuff they have in it doesn't disappear while perhaps gathering more stuff if they have the opportunity.</blockquote>
