Disgusting.

According to 4e, Hitler is less evil than your average drug dealer because he worked within the system.

Does it actually say that CE is more evil than Evil? I didnt realize there were quatitative differences between the alignments now or than "aligned" being "more aligned" than "unaligne".

Actually no, Hitler falls under evil, and the drug dealer is at worst evil(more likely unaligned). Chaotic evil appears(from what we have seen so far) to be wanting destruction for destruction's sake such as you would expect from the current incarnation of Demons.

Well I guess I just found the first thing I'll house rule. In my gameworld (and actual worldview ) there's only 5 alignments:

Chaotic Good, Good, Unaligned, Evil, Lawful Evil.

Some people at ENWorld are store owners who have gotten a chance to look at the 4e books, and have divulged some information that people have been anxious to find out. One of these things is alignment. According to an ENWorld poster



You can find this and lots of other juicy information here. Discuss.


You know, I have found one of the first things I dislike about 4E.

Ah, well. House rule, here I come.

Well maybe that's because not all drug dealers are evil. Especially the ones that deal in the green leafy kind. The only thing they're a threat to is a party size bag of Fun'oins.

Well that and your average drug dealer works within the system most of the time. They obey traffic laws, for example.

At most the would be considered unaligned.

....just saying.

p.s. Unless they deal meth. Those shambling mounds need to be targeted with "Edvard's Spiked Black Tentacles of Forced Penetration"

No, he's just as evil, but not as chaotic.

I must admit, the loss of CG and LE raised my eyebrows. Cutting down player options like that is just a strange move. My guess is they must have redefined "law" and "chaos" in some major way; I await the release of the books to see.

EDIT: Wait, isn't there a preview article on the issue coming sometime? That might actually be better; explain their reasoning, which is really what I want to see.

My interpretations ...

Evil: selfish predation to benefit oneself only at expense of others
Chaotic Evil: annihilate all that exists

Unaligned: normal humans

Good: compassionate sharing
Lawful Good: synergistic cooperation to empower eachother
