[QUOTE="CTurbo, post: 7471648, member: 6855234"] I know it's a common theme for players to think they can label their character CN so they get get away with basically evil acts but I haven't seen much of this in actual play with one exception of a guy that claimed his War Cleric was CN but he played him obviously evil. This was this guy's first ever character so we got him sorted out. I like playing CN because I like for my characters to be carefree, but that's really more about the C part than the N part I guess. I guess I like N because while I'm not going to go out of my way to commit evil, I don't have to go out of my way to be "good" either lol. But my most recent character is LG and I play him as annoyingly LG on the verge of LS but not quite. CG is fun too. I had a CG Tabaxi Swashbuckler and he was great. I've played a LE Paladin and he was a fun character. He mostly behaved himself especially around the group so no one really suspected he was evil. They just thought he was greedy. The most evil thing he did was rob and kidnap a guard, steal what the guard was guarding, and then framed him for the robbery by planting evidence. it was quite epic in the way that it worked out too because he totally got away with it and also without tipping off his friends. I think true N would be really hard to play. I've never bothered trying to play NG or NE. CE usually gets a bad rap for being CS but I believe there is a line there somewhere would it could possibly work, it would just be hard. To answer the original question, I don't think it matters much as long as the players know that their character'r are responsible for their actions and if they get caught being dumb, the're going to pay the price.
