Time for an English lesson

"To lay" is a transitive verb, meaning it is only correct when you do it to something (to lay a patient down). Most of you should be writing "to lie". I assume the confusion is because of what happens in the past tense.

You know, when someone tells a joke, it's usually best just to find the punchline rather than over analyzing it.

The cake, lieth GLaDOS.

Yes. I want enough babies to cover my entire body and use as armor. I'll be unstoppable!

Chaotic good sounds like an oxymoron to me.

Think Robin Hood. Ignores the law, does good anyway.

On the other hand, most people don't consider the rich that were being robbed as good. So it's a gray area.

HAAHHA. I never knew that.

In Space Station 13, if you're the chef and throw enough people into the gibber (5+ meat, and 1 skin) you can sow the skins together and make a skin suit.

I was using the meat for spaghetti and meatballs but I forgot to cook the meat and people were just vomiting all over the station.

Certainly if Robin Hood kept the money for himself he would be considered a bad character. However, he doesn't. He gives the money to people that need it. The rich man does not even need it. It's just a waste having the resources stacked up on him. That's the whole point of the narrative.

Where is your Jesus now? Probably getting wasted with Robin Hood.

Hahaha... leave it up to you guys to try turning this into something religious or political. Not going there.

Just saying, stealing is not good. Therefore, chaotic good is an oxymoron as you cannot be chaotic AND good, the two are polar opposites. If you steal, you're not good, I don't care who you give the stolen loot to, you still stole them. And now, not only are you a thief, but the people you have given the stolen loot to, at least in my country, could be charged with possession of stolen goods if they are caught with it, so you're even more evil for causing them trouble!

But... I guess nobody in here will mind if I break into your homes and steal all you worked for, so long as I give it away to the poor right?

In D&D chaotic just means that the person is more of a lone wolf than a party player. If laws are just a chaotic good character will follow them, but if the laws are evil, such as say, the decrees of Sauron, than a CG character will not follow them.

edit:

In D&D the polar opposite of good is evil, and the polar opposite of chaotic is lawful.

I remembering struggling with the idea when I first started playing as a kid. Then I reconciled the two by envisioning a scenario where following the law would cause a good person to die, so being good, I would have to break the law in order to be able to do the right thing.

Another good example from your own country's history is the people who helped the underground railroad to smuggle slave out of the southern states. It was unlawful to do so, as it was technically theft, but they were doing good by freeing people condemned to slavery.

Lawful good, someone follows their morality but the rules come first. "Do not murder" trumps "stop a serial killer from possibly murdering another." Leave it to the courts.

Chaotic good, someone follows their own morality and will ignore the laws if necessary. Dexter/killing bad people.

(Of course it doesn't have to be as extreme as murder.)

Lawful evil, someone is a monster but still uses the laws and rules. Think sociopaths in positions of power like priests, CEOs, and government officials.
