We figured even the most law-abiding hero is still prone to moments of aberrant behavior, so if we as the player were EVER torn on how the character should act, we performed a Chaos Roll (d100) for them. This was roughly figuring 10% chance of acting aberrant for a lawful character, 25% for neutral, and 50% chaotic.<br /><br />My wizard and his ranger were constantly provided with options and excuses to act in random fashion, and most of the time they did so, lol. From his deciding to shoot an orc while we attempted to convince them we were the new leaders of their squad (military campaign) to my wizard shrugging and igniting a nobleman's sitting room to clear the house, they were constantly under watch by the paladin (even more than the rogue was).<br /><br />Chaos Rolls made the decision making so much simpler. It's chaos, let the dice decide! If we had more than two thoughts on what to do, we'd roll whether or not they deviated from the original (or most sensible) plan, then which alternate idea they pursued.Shadow-Savantnoreply@blogger.com
