Chaotic Neutral is freedom from both
society'
s restrictions and a do-gooder's zeal.
Chaotic neutral characters follow their whims. They are individualists first and last. They value their own
liberty but do not strive to protect the
freedom of others. They avoid authority, resent restrictions, and challenge traditions. Chaotic neutral characters don't intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of
anarchy. To do so, they would have to be motivated either by good (a desire to help people) or by evil (a desire to hurt people).
Chaotic neutral characters may be unpredictable, but their behavior is not totally
random - they are not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it. However, they do act on momentary whims, and are known to be unreliable. As some would say, "the only reliable thing about them is that they cannot be relied upon!"
Chaotic Neutral is sometimes considered the "purest" form of chaos, without bias in favor of good or evil.
A wandering rogue who lives both by
work for hire and petty theft, an eccentric mage who experiments with dangerous
magic just to view the results, and a con-artist or
hustler who plays all sides against the middle to further his own aims are all examples of chaotic neutral characters.
