Tasha's alignment
  • Look, I'm an atheist so I don't believe in evil. That being said I'm not 13 so I also don't have a hard-on for Ayn Rand to the point where I get enraged when other people talk about self interest.

    I never said anything about it being "inherently evil". You're putting words in my mouth. You'd realize that if you actually took some time to cool off.

    In the context of D&D, how self-interested a character is determines their moral alignment. It's a loose description of a mechanic.

    No one is making claims about the real world.

  • Listen. You need to go out and touch some grass. No one is making a moral argument here. We're debating a game's alignment system and how to understand it. In terms of the game's systems, self-interest is evil. Devils are extremely self-interested and do nothing for the greater good or general welfare.

  • I disagree. Lawful or Chaotic describes ones adherence to rules; either those of society or their own moral code. Chaotic would describe one who does not adhere to any rules or guidelines; nothing is off limits except that which would violate their alignment on the Good-Evil axis. Neutral would mean that one would bend those rules to achieve a particular outcome. Lawful is going to stick to the book; they're very conservative.
