    Default A kinda random question...

    So there's the uber good book BOED, and an uber evil book BOVD. Where is my uber neutral book?

    It wouldn't surprise me if this has already been addressed but I've been wondering it for a while and have never seen a topic mentioning something of the sort.

    Never underestimate the power of true neutrality!

    Book of Apathetic Indifference? Unfortunately, I don't think there are many benefits you could give to someone for being neutral, other than what neutrality entails, hence no BoAI

    I think the chaotic book would be something like RBoDeK oA NefdMood, or something similarly... well, chaotic

    The book.

    That's it, it's not the book of anything, it's just the book.

    It doesn't like to take stances.

    The first half is the first half of the BoED. The second half is the second half of the BoVD. There is a short bridge in the middle.

    In Underdark are stats for the Book of Perfect Balance, and the Talisman of Neutrality (analogs of the other two aligned books and talismans).

    In Arms & Equipment Guide, there is Regalia (crown, rod, and orb) for all 3 (those of Evil are reprinted from BoVD).

    BoED updates the Regalia of Good slightly- but it's probably not that big a difference.

    So- if there was a book of neutrality- it would probably be called the Book of Perfect Balance, as per Underdark.

    (Arcane (as opposed to divine) books for all 3 (Good, Evil, Neutral) specified alignments, exist in Epic Handbook.)

    In seriousness, such a book would have to be about the "committed to the balance" kind of neutrality. The Book of Perfected Balance. The law and chaos books might be the Book of Unbending Justice and the Book of Unfettered Freedom.

    (Edit: Ha! Clearly WotC thought the same way. I was going to call it the Book of Unwavering Balance, but figured that "unwavering" sounded too much like Law, rather than Neutrality.)

    In unseriousness...

    I'd have to go with Book Of Perfect Balance. And it's not just for neutral characters, it's for True Neutral, those characters that will turn sides to keep things even.

    It's PrCs and Feats would give some pretty awesome bonuses but only when outnumbered, getting weaker as the power slides toward even. And if you ever acted with a true advantage, then you would be permanently be stripped of everything, hence why it would just fall into the pile of suckage as the restrictions would be worse than a Paladin Code Of Conduct with a DM that believes that making a Paladin fall or have moral issues makes a good story.

    That's a good one for the Lawful book, but I feel it should be expanded upon:

    The Axiomatic Book Closely Detailing Everything, For Greater Housekeeping of Information
    Just Knowing Limitless Material Now Opens Potential Queries for Reconciliation So Truth may be Universal

    Hah! I out lasted you, I almost posted one.

    At least we know how you will take a stand. That's the problem with Neutrals - you never know where you stand. Darn them and their neutrality.

    Ah, curses. I have failed.

    Time to raise a beige alert!

    On the serious note I must have missed those in DoU I'll go back and take a look.

    Not the generic splatbook Drow of the Underdark- the Forgotten Realms splatbook Underdark, which is very different, and has content that makes plenty of sense outside of Faerun.

    Like the aforementioned Neutrality artifacts.
