[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7471768, member: 6801845"] I don't allow evil characters in my home campaign, so CN. I also have a general rule of don't play a jerk, or someone who is purposely disruptive. However, CN just means they don't believe in external laws and rules and don't adhere to a code of good or evil. It does [I]not[/I] have to mean chaotic insane or really chaotic evil but that's not allowed at my table. My last cleric was CN - he didn't believe any authority figure should be telling others what to do and everyone should seek their own path. While he never committed any explicitly evil acts, he also wouldn't necessarily go out of his way to do good deed either. Then again, I think people should use alignment as little or as much as they want. I view it as a general guideline to how the character views the world, not as justification for actions or a straight jacket. EDIT: If anyone at my table ever says "I'm going to do ___ because I'm ___" we're going to have a talk about what alignment means and revisit the baseline rule in my first paragraph. [/QUOTE]
