View Full Version : Alignment Mockeries

You know how people often use terms for Dungeons and Dragons alignments that are not exactly "official"? And are more of a joke really?
A few examples I have rolling around in my head are:
Lawful Stupid, Neutral Boring, Neutral Indifferent, Adorable Evil,
Chaotic Annoying, and Lawful Stick-Up-Your-Arse.

Do you, my fellow playgrounders, have any more alignment mockeries that you find entertaining? If so, please post them in this thread

"with anger issues," as a suffix/modifier to any of the actual alignments.

Well, Stupid is entire alignment axis isn't it?

Stupid Good
Stupid Evil
Lawful Stupid
Chaotic Stupid

Though I guess for some reason there's no Stupid Neutral or Neutral Stupid.

The Mr Welch list has a couple of interesting alignment mentions:

651. My alignment is not Sarcastic Good.
742. Apparently Chaotic Angry and Neutral Hungry aren't real alignments either.

I've also heard Chaotic Insane and Suicidally Evil. There is also Pacifist Good, which isn't always a bright idea.

In a game whose mechanical focus is based around how to kill things? Not so much, though it could potentially work, especially if you use the actually fairly diverse non-lethal combat options.
Being a spell-caster will help.

I had a character I described as Lawful Noble. (This allowed him to fight the church's power.)

Wolves are Neutral Hungry.

I have occasionally run an NPC the characters wanted to do business with as Neutral Bored.

I ran a Champions character as Silver Age Lawful Good, which is very different from Modern Age LG.

I've considered running a character who is Chaotic Curious.

But whatever people put on the character sheet, there are only 3 PC alignments: Lawful Snotty, Neutral Greedy, and Chaotic Backstabbing.

I've seen versions of "Frightened" used on both axes.

I've also seen "Chaotic tendencies" as a modifier on any alignment.

And finally this is a touch off-topic but I think it's close enough that readers of this thread might enjoy it-- I have a character with the following on his sheet:

born with the Paladin's FIGHT EVIL class feature (despite the lack of Paladin levels)

Lawful good: warden good (you can do this this and this. Do this, I hit you 200 times.)
Nuetral good: Nuetral hypocrisy (I'd love to help these beggars, but if I do I can't buy a +2 sword)
Chaotic good: ignorant good (I want to free them! Anarchy! No order! Let the people live without your benevolent tyranny,_____[Nuetral good king])

This is all you really need. No, your character is not an exception.


I sometimes go with the ones already mentioned, plus:

Chaotic Crazy.
Chaotic Nutjob.
Chaotic Douche.
Chaotic Totally-not-Evil.
Moustache-Twirling Evil.

Chaotic chaotic

One of my players (began as a monk believe it or not, isn't anymore obviously) will do some random thing at some random time with no consistent moral reason. He'll free slaves to kill and distract their masters, incite riots, and attack powerful government figures with little to no provocation, but he also gave all his gold to a struggling village, served as the force behind establishing a new religion, and has been an, admittedly rather good, diplomat among a variety of people. Thus, chaotic chaotic.

yea, and many of my characters I make are people first, alignments second. not many of them would be good for this thread….

except for one:

Suicidally Reckless Good: I've played two characters who basically never hesitated to throw themselves into near-death situations for little to no reason….and somehow survive or come out ok every time.

one is Kalectro Stelvana, a brawler guy who would do anything to protect his little sister…."anything" mostly translating into "completely reckless charge at threat", he was actually Chaotic Good. of course he was based upon reckless Shonen protagonists, so kind of a given.

the other was Lelk. he….basically was a rogue, but he sang songs like a bard, and he basically charged into battle only armed with an electric dagger at his foes, while being completely loyal and friendly to his friends. He was Lawful Good. as in "lawfully suicidally reckless for his society and his friends good" thats right, a Lawful Good rogue who thought he was a bard, while charging into battle like a fighter, believe it or not, this is one my more normal characters.
yet he always, ALWAYS had luck on his side, or somehow came through ok. and he was egomaniacal always claiming he was a "strategical genius" and actually backed the boast up in a battle. he was the best Lawful Good character I ever played. but his true alignment was Suicidally Reckless Good.

I think anyone who can get a group of wizards to make a fully operational zeppelin, complete with bombs, definitely has luck on his side.

and that wasn't even intentional. that was just me trying to think up of ideas to defend a city, I got an idea to build a flying machine one could drop bombs from on the enemy, two d100 rolls later, I have a zeppelin with two big bombs, when I was more like thinking of some gliders and hand-held dynamite sticks or something.

other feats of Lelk insanity due to luck include:

getting two groups who hated each other (barbarians and paladins) to unite to kill a hydra the PC's couldn't…by singing. and this wasn't any ordinary song. this was a song called Oh My Paladin Buddy. by all logic, this shouldn't have worked. but it did.

next, we have the fact, that in this campaign, the gods dwelled on the prime material plane, I don't remember the exact setting or the details surrounding how we got there, but the party basically goes into some tunnels after some great battle, Lelk basically somehow gets separated from the entire rest of group (of course). and then stumbles upon the abode of the God of Thieves by accident, I mean he knew he was opening a door but he had no idea that the home of a God of Thieves as on the other side and that he was intruding.
he basically gone in and basically said "Hi! My name's Lelk, whats your name?"
in a bright cheery voice, all up front.
…and then my DM rolls it and says that Lelk is very lucky, because there was like a 95% chance that he would've gotten killed on the spot, if the God of Thieves hadn't recognized that he was the Prince and therefore son of some other god. thats how ridiculously lucky he is.

the weird thing was? in his party, he was probably the most effective of them all. the ranger while reasonable, basically sat around and facepalmed and everyone elses antics. the fighter got too easily sidetracked by meaningless things like baking cookies….

and the paladin of the party? well…. to give you an idea of this paladin, let me tell you a tale of him:

he once got a rod of fireballs. for some reason he gone to his mothers house.
while he was cleaning up said house for some reason…he found a rat, though whether it was a normal rat or a dire rat, I can't remember.
but what I do remember is that what he did next was use the rod of fireballs on the rat. while still inside his mothers house. at point blank range. while the entire party and his own mother was inside.

He blew out half the house, injured the entire party, especially himself and we all chastised him for it. If Lelk was the radiator of insane inexplicable luck, the paladin was the bringer of untold detrimental stupidity. he didn't have alignment problems or anything like that…he just was just completely stupid in how he did things.

It wouldn't come up as an error though. Detect Evil only reports presence/number/strength/location of evil auras, not their absence. It's kind of like radar in that it won't tell you when a vehicle is shielded against it or has countermeasures, it just won't report the vehicle because it didn't find anything. Or a Geiger counter, it won't say Error 404: Radiation Not Found, it simply won't start clicking.


Like if you scan someone, it's like asking "Is there evil? yes or no" the only possible results are "yes" (you detect evil auras of strength X, location Y, number Z, etc), and "no" (you do not detect an evil aura). If the creature's alignment is inaccessible, it defaults to "no".
