Alignment Alignment defines your role in the clash between good and evil. All creatures are connected to the eternal conflict waged by Law, Chaos, and Neutrality, whether they know it or not. Law is benevolence, Chaos is malevolence, and Neutrality is impartial, favoring neither. Choose one of the following three alignments. CHAOTIC Chaotic characters align themselves with destruction, ambition, and wickedness. Chaotic characters adopt a “survival of the fittest” mentality. LAWFUL Lawful characters align themselves with fairness, order, and virtue. Lawful characters operate from a “good of the whole” mentality. NEUTRAL Neutral characters find balance between Law and Chaos. They align with the cycle of growth and decline, adopting a “nature must take its course” mentality.
