Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ares" data-source="post: 5158177" data-attributes="member: 36812">I think I understand the confusion a bit better now.  I believe this arises because of a a fundamental misunderstanding of what the chaotic alignment means for a character.  Chaotic only implies that character in question places a high priority on freedom. Law implies a love of order.  Although there are exceptions in the Monster Manual (Slaad spring to mind) that is actually all there is to the Chaotic alignment.CG would have emphasis on everyone's personal rights (ala Robin Hood) whereas the CN character would only put emphasis on his own/his close friends and family's personal freedoms (or as I like to call him, the selfish hippie).LG would care about using order to benefit everyone at the cost of some personal freedom to the individual (the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few), a LN character would only care about the application of order onto the world regardless of moral distinction (I've always thought of the mad-but-not-necessarily-evil-scientist fitting this role) and the LE character would use order for their own ends or could also be the "principled villains" (Klingons).Really the original 3.x SRD really sums it up just fine:<a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/description.htm" target="_blank">Description :: d20srd.org</a>Again, the confusion seems to relate to a misunderstanding of what the "chaotic" alignment means.  It does not necessarily mean "random douche".<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
