Well how about that,... air pirates. And they call their ship a derivative of "Cunt" too. I wonder if there's a connection, GM says dryly.
This leg of the game has the players either onboard or somewhere in the vicinity of the 'random' pirate airship that has taken to firing upon Trump Tower, as well as several of the characters. Unfortunately, a spell-caster onboard has placed a spell of Peace on the ship, and now there's a shimmering wall of force surrounding the captain.
Thez is hovering about 45deg from the front, ready to attack. Lenos is preparing for a Meteor Swarm, Infernius is speeding toward the ship, and Torcuil said "Fuck the Bullshit" and just teleported to it.
Trump wants to engage in diplomacy, but he rolled a 1 so he has to wait, and Tracy can't stab at ALL, which is an entirely new sensation for her.

Eh, If I could trade levels, I'd trade something else.
Tracy is neither lawful nor good, and it'd be dumb to play her as such.

You're right, I really haven't been playing her ebil enough to meet the role.
It's difficult when she can't keep anything secret though..

Batman is actually really lawful, perhaps more than a lot of heroes, despite how he works.

GM said the defining feature of the good-evil alignment is service to others against service to self. So selfish. Because most moral principles actually have some utility to them, he couldn't be pure evil because morals like honesty and loyalty are generally necessary to maintain group cohesion or the trust that allows for voluntary exchange. He's make up for the lack of purity in evil in the shear scale of what is done. I definitely wouldn't do pointless, non-self serving evil acts, since they don't have any real benefit and can have harms

But chaotic evil isn't as strong. If you don't have rules and covenants and oaths then you can't facilitate trust, and if you don't have trust you can neither succeed in large collective endevours nor repeated voluntary exchange. And when you don't have that, you can't accomplish anything truly great...
>>43115
As for how to play neutral evil... I think I'd have to reduce ambitions/expectations

Maybe if you have very high grade and enhanced super powers, maybe, but even then, you'll be afraid to go to sleep. In general, humans are not very powerful as individuals, regardless of how intelligent, strong, or well resourced they are, and giving them standard fantasy superpowers increases that but actually not by a lot. Where humans really gain their power is in getting other humans to do things for them that they want. That requires someone to actually want to do you bidding and believe that you aren't going to fuck them over next. But when you have a class of people - or better, and entire nation - willing to execute your commands, then you've got some serious power, especially when combined with standard fantasy super powers

>He's make up for the lack of purity in evil in the shear scale of what is done. I definitely wouldn't do pointless, non-self serving evil acts
See, that's exactly my issue here. I want to do really ebil things, even if only once in a while, but I can't really think of things she could do and get away with in this environment. When I think of neutral ebil, I think "does whatever she can get away with", although it's hard to keep secrets in a campaign like this.
>the defining feature of the good-evil alignment is service to others against service to self
Idk.. I can think of a lot of characters who were objectively ebil, but really weren't helping themselves at all. I always took the dicotomy of "good vs ebil" as "helping people vs hurting people". The defining qualities of an ebil character should be determined by their cruelty, malice, or willingness to cause great harm or suffering unto others, for whatever reason or lack of reason that may be.
Even in lore and fiction surrounding /tg/ games, it's not hard to find objectively ebil characters who didn't really do much in service to themselves. A lot of LE characters could be some jerk committing vile acts for "the greater good" (bullshit), while other LE or even NE characters may be loyal cohorts to ebil people they respect, or champions of nations that happen to serve ebil gods. For these kinds of characters, you can tell their evil by the cruel acts they commit, their depravity, or the dastardly methods they use to carry-out whatever it is they do: if you're killing babies, even if it benefits you in no way, you're probably ebil. Even CE characters don't have to be motivated by self-interest to be ebil; oftentimes they're only motivated by pure hatred something else that makes them choose to destroy everything or hurt innocent people.

Sure, but what is the cause of this hatred? Even hatred and revenge have causes, and I think it makes for a more compelling character and story when you can understand why

No, I'm just trying to play a sadistic, psychopathic character who kills/tortures/mutilates other sentient creatures whenever she can get away with it, because she feels like it.

For the record, I've had a full stat-table for horny Thez the whole time, but the only time it would have been active previously is when Tracy cut off her tail, and it was busy so I didn't play it that way, and now the durpy ion stone is attached to the fetus. Still, Pickle-I'nis is having an observable effect on her.

Dadybird is probably the only roc in the region, so wouldn't the spell call him?

Oh, I didn't see the distinction in the spell description. I knew that the Summon Monster description specified an "extraplanar creature", so I assumed the "natural creature" described on Nature's Ally was from the native plane.
I was going to do that scene when the birds got big enough to fly, but I thought I might have been able to do it earlier..
