Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hexmage-EN" data-source="post: 8048414" data-attributes="member: 79428">The Chaotic Neutral Battle Master Fighter character I'm running now is like that, though he leans closer to Neutral than Chaotic.He is honest and loyal...to people he thinks it's in his best interest to have trusting him (chiefly the party). He also plays nice with authority figures...if it's convenient. He distrusts authority figures and tries to get as much from them as he can in terms of information and resources while giving as little back as possible.He's careful because he doesn't want to die pointlessly...but if there's an opportunity for him to fight a hydra or some other infamous creature he's eager to take it so he can brag about it later.He is admittedly rash and impulsive due to overconfidence in his abilities and a desire to take action instead of sitting around nit picking every possible option. He's also changed professions from dock worker to sailor to finally adventurer because he found the first two professions unsatisfying.Also, he once tried to kidnap and intimidate a corrupt foreign merchant but bungled the attempt, which forced him to flee his homeland and change his name.I'm also working on a concept for a Chaotic Neutral self-taught Arcane Trickster Rogue/School of Conjuration wizard character who leans more Chaotic.He is very distrustful of authority and often openly contemptuous towards them (especially mages from established institutions; as part of his backstory he provoked an esteemed wizard of Candlekeep to the edge of a magical duel in the middle of a convocation of mages).He stubbornly believes that the Chaotic Evil gnomish god Urdlen was a victim of bullying and peer pressure from the rest of the gnomish pantheon because his (Chaotic Evil) grandfather told him so as a child (other family members have tried to tell him that grandpa is bad news, but he doesn't listen and imagines Urdlen as a more benevolent and misunderstood figure).He's come to believe a theory of his own design (that he originally came up with as a bad faith argument out of petty spite to try and undermine a smug rival mage) that there are actually countless non-Chaotic Evil demons in the Abyss and that all established demonological lore is part of some vast anti-demon conspiracy orchestrated by a secret pact between devils and the celestial eladrin millenia ago (as part of his research he tries to cast Summon Greater Demon at least once a day to try and get in contact with one of these hypothetical non-CE demons, always prepared to interview said demon with questions like "What layer of the Abyss are you from?" and "Do you have any hobbies?").He delights in trickery with his magic, partially to test his skills and partially to take authority figures he thinks are stuck-up down a peg.Though he won't outright lie to allies, he'll often selectively omit details if he thinks doing so would be more convenient.He's impulsive and always brainstorming ideas to try out on the off-chance they'll work (if they blow up in his face he'll just have to figure things out from there).Granted, this characterization is based on the fact this character has a Wisdom score of 8 in addition to his Chaotic Neutral alignment. If his Wisdom was higher his Chaotic nature would be more restrained, I think.</blockquote>
