[QUOTE="candidus_cogitens, post: 454744, member: 770"] To me, Doc, this sounds like the difference between true neutral and CN. The guy that you presented as CN, doesn't seem to me to be necessarily chaotic, since he still respects some kind of principle that he allows to govern his actions. He might even be lawful, if he is really adimant about the principle that people should not let their personal freedom impinge upon that of others. Your CE does not seem to me to be necessarily evil, although he may be. If he crushes other people's skulls just for his amusement, then he is probably evil, but if he does it because he sees them as obstacles to his personal goals, then he might be more neutral. IMHO, you gotta leave room on the Good-Evil spectrum for the truly maniacally evil, the individual who just revels in torturing, debasing and humiliating others. Causing pain is his passion, his addiction. Neutral individuals, by contrast, don't enjoy cruelty for cruelty's sake, even though they may not have the least bit of respect for other people's lives, freedoms or dignity. [/QUOTE]
