| Lopen 12/20/18 11:37:19 AM #28: | Lawful is basically an extreme version of judging on the J/P distinction yeah. Outside influences can guide how a lawful character will act, but the specifics of it will ultimately be based on how that influence interacts with the flowchart in their head or organization which determines whether it's suitable to act. Lawful is honestly the easiest one to distinguish. Neutral vs Chaotic is where it gets trickier to me. Best I can determine is neutral is primarily driven by self interest or by an active desire to achieve neutrality and will act lawfully or chaotically from situation to situation depending on its interaction with the world as a whole. Chaotic is actively whimsical and will do whatever catches their fancy at the time. I feel like those two tend to have the most overlap, though I would say chaotic good is more likely to do "stupid heroic things" than neutral good. --- No problem!
