Chick declares Lawful Evil alignment "mish-mash"

It would have to be my favourite D&D align as well :(

Nestled in the midst of his psychotic tirade, we find

For example, you can have a "lawful evil" character. A handbook states that: "A lawful evil villain methodically takes what he wants within the limits of his code of conduct without regard to whom it hurts. He cares about tradition, loyalty and order, but not about freedom, dignity or life." Talk about a mish-mash of moral ambiguity. Our young people are having enough trouble getting their values straight without being immersed in this sort of material!

Because everyone else is as stupid as he is and can't roleplay this alignment properly, of course :roll:

Wonder what he'd make of an all Chaotic Neutral group?

*chuckle* My personal favorite alignment :)

Hm, personally I find LE very straightforward. It's the kind of guy who sticks to the rules on the surface because he believes the rules will help him screw over poor bastards he runs across.

I used to always argue over CN with a friend of mine. He insisted all CN chars had to be madmen.

Lawful evil is straightforward once you set the bounds on what your character will do. It's when OTHER people have to figure out what bounds your character follows that it becomes confusing 8)

Ugh, hate CN. Too many people think CN means "I play however I want regardless of alignment." I wish WotC would give CN a better description, something more concrete than what's presented.

I usually play CG, myself.
