    biggrin 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
    Show mercy, and you will be shown mercy.

    "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.

    Actually, there is:
    http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.ph.../StupidNeutral


    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)
    For people who enjoy reading or writing.

    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.
    • Cartoon-Villain Evil.

    Lawful German.

    Pollyanna Good.

    Neutral Butler.

    EDIT: Oh, and in addition to their other more descriptive actual alignment, quite a few paladins and monks are Lawful Supposedly.

    Detect evil not working reinforces it, leading us to the only logical conclusion: Chaotic Neutral people ritually rub liquid lead in themselves. Also, they are all secretly dragons.
