You have to factor in alignment, personality, party composition, and setting.Two CN characters at my table:#1: luxury-loving hedonist who constantly seeks enjoyment while quietly amassing power for future havoc. #2: semi-reformed street criminal who constantly seeks opportunities to swindle authority figures.This party is directly working for law enforcement, so I had to ask PC #2 to dial it back, whereas PC #1 is no problem at all. In a different world, the reverse might be true.Likewise, let's compare hypothetical LE #1 who values hierarchy: the weak should kneel to the strong (and strive to become stronger), vs LE #2 who values graft: uphold the letter of the law while twisting its spirit. Each of those motivations could be an insoluble problem that wrecks a party, or it could be a hook that ties them to the plot, depending on the other characters and the campaign design.The real question is: are you an [MENTION=40136]SS[/MENTION]h01e who spends game time actively disrupting your fellow PCs (when the plot is designed for cooperation)? LE & CN are often capable of that, but I remember LG & CG characters who have done the same (by different means) at tables I've played. The AD&D paladin who demands obedience to their code of conduct. The rascal who is compelled to back-talk (and rob) anyone (including a king) who doesn't immediately agree to the party's every request. Etc...</blockquote>
