Neutral Good |
These characters believe that a balance of forces is important, but that the concerns of law and chaos do not moderate the need for good. Since the universe is vast and contains many creatures striving for different goals, a determined pursuit of good means supporting organized society, then that is what must be done. If good can only come about through the overthrow of existing social order, so be it. Social structure itself has no innate value to them. |

Chaotic good characters are strong individuals, marked by a streak of kindness and benevolence. The believe in all virtues of goodness and right, but they have little use for laws and regulations.

Lawful Neutral |
Order and organization are of paramount importance to characters of this alignment. They belive in a strong well-ordered government, whether that government is a tyranny or a democracy. Laws must be created and obeyed. The benefits of organization and regimentation far outweigh any moral questions raised by their actions. An oath binding, regardless of consequences. A completely impartial magistrate, or a soldier who never questions his orders are good examples of lawful neutral behavior. |

-True- Neutral |
true neutral characters believe in the ultimate balance of forces, and they refuse to see actions as either good nor evil. True neutrals do their best to avoid siding with the forces of either good or evil, law or chaos. It is their duty to see that all of these forces remain in balanced contention. True neutral characters sometimes find themselves forced into rather peculiar alliances. To a great extent, they side with the underdog. Sometimes even changing sides, as the previous loser becomes the winner. A true neutral druid might join the local barony to put down a tribe of evil gnolls, only to drop out or switch sides when the gnolls were brought to the brink of destruction. |

Good and evil are irrelevant when making a decision. Chaotic neutral characters are extremely difficult to deal with. Such characters have been known to be cheerful and for no reason purpose gamble away everything they have on the roll of a single die. They are extremely unreliable. |

Lawful Evil |
These characters believe structure and organization elevate those who deserve to rule. They prefer a dearly defined hierarchy between master and servant. If someone is hurt or suffers because of a law that benefits lawful evil characters, to bad. Lawful evil characters obey laws out of fear of punishment or pride of power. Because they honor any contract or oath they have made, lawful evil characters are very careful about giving their word. Once given, they break their word only if they can find a way to do it legally, within the laws of the society. |

Neutral Evil |
Neutral evil characters are primarily concerned with themselves and their own advancement. Their only interest is in getting ahead. If there is a quick and easy way to gain a profit, whether it be legal, questionable, or obviously illegal, they take advantage of it. Although neutral evil characters do not have the every-man-for-himself attitude of chaotic evil characters, they have no qualms about betraying their friends and coompanions for personal gain. They typically base their allegiance on power and money, which makes them quite receptive to bribes. |

Chaotic Evil |
Chaotic evil characters are motivated by the desire for personal gain and pleasure. The strong have the right to take what they want, and the weak are there to be exploited. When chaotic evil characters band together, they are not motivated by a desire to cooperate, but rather oppose powerful enemies. Such a grou can be held together into obedience. Since leadership is based on raw power, a leader is likely to be replaced at the first sign of weakness by anyone who can take his position away from him by any method. |
