What is the difference between Chaotic Neutral and evil?

Chaotic Neutral prioritizes freedom and self-interest but isn't inherently malicious. Chaotic Evil actively causes harm; Chaotic Neutral simply refuses to be controlled.

Can Chaotic Neutral characters be trusted?

Only if their interests align with yours. They'll keep promises only as long as personal benefit remains clear. They're unreliable allies.

How unpredictable are Chaotic Neutral characters?

Very. They make decisions based on impulse, freedom, and self-interest. While patterns exist, they reject consistency in favor of spontaneous action.

What professions attract Chaotic Neutral types?

Mercenary work, con artists, independent adventurers, traders, performers, and drifters. Any role with minimal structure or commitment.
