"Chaotic Evil"
Other D&D players routinely call me "Chaotic Evil".
Since I prioritize individuality and leverage over ethics.

Yet any chaotic evil person is potentially lawful good.
Because law and control grant you personally more freedom,
while draining freedom from everyone else.

Put me in power and you will get more laws than you can imagine.
My law's goal: strengthen _my_ domain of _my_ freedom.

People larping about freedom should clearly state: whose freedom.
Same with laws: whose law. And good? Good for whom?
I assure you, nigga, I'm good to myself.
I'm the good of my story. Not you or your religion.

So I'm lawful good in the end.
Deal with it, leftie trolls.

This is bullshit.

Aligment in DnD has nothing to do with psychological traits or personality.
Neither it about morallity in a philosophical sense.

It's literally about the alignment of the character on a great cosmic chessboard,
in the great cosmic battle of evil vs good (Tolkien) and law vs chaos (Moorcock).
It's more about which spells you get and how supernatural beings react to you.
If you are a terrible person and want a paladin class you still can be lawfull good.
That is, you can do genocide to orcs an kill their children untill they are
chaotic evil, and you are on a right side of the cosmic chessboard.

However, most dnd masters and writers don't understand this.

	IIRC, Baldur's Gate 2's paladin NPC burned alive his wife for her infidelity. Still lawful good. While say Viconia just want to be left the fuck alone, and yet evil, sole because of her race. Then again, on African example we can see how race naturally creates evil (Ответить) (Уровень выше) (Ветвь дискуссии)

	Exactly! If Gagax wanted alignment to be personality or ethical code he would call it like that. (Ответить) (Уровень выше)

	Are you saying that Sadkov can't be on the chaotic evil side of the great cosmic chessboard of our reality? Are you saying there is no great cosmic chessboard IRL? Fucking unbeliever heathen! (Ответить) (Уровень выше) (Ветвь дискуссии)

	I don't know. We only can wait see where is she in this grand cosmic battle. Or we can cast a "detect evil" spell. (Ответить) (Уровень выше)
