[QUOTE="Cor_Malek, post: 5233422, member: 91608"] That's lawful evil, which is IMO very close to lawful good. LE probably hates chaotic evil even more than anything else. It's also much better for NPC's/organizations than PC's, but that might (and probably is) be personal preference. Neutral evil can operate within LE organizations very well, but is probably closer to chaotic good than either LE or CHE. Chaotic evil is also nothing like it's LE counterpart, though it rarely is that pure, and probably should be influenced by other characters. Basically, all lawfuls are more alike than all evil or all good; good and evil are subjective and have a thin line between. Neutral is [B]not[/B] a buffer between those, but rather an objective version of both. I remember there was a book by AEG on subject of evil, and it was actually surprisingly good (no pun intended). [url=http://www.rpg.net/news+reviews/reviews/rev_4993.html]Linky[/url], and there's one [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/AEG-d20-Evil-Sourcebook-D-D-3rd-Edition-/260627988816]currently on bid on ebay[/url]. Neutral evil character will agree to, and keep it's end of contract as long as it's good for him. He isn't loyal even to his [I]own[/I] promises. Dealing with neutral evil character is much like chess, you can deal with him peacefully as long as it's the best course of action for him. Chaotic evil is more likely to wave off any chance of peaceful solution and just gut you. [/QUOTE]
