11-17-04, 03:40 PM Wow, I guess a 14 is Chaotic. So I'm Chaotic. Odd, I get conflicting results on these tests. The problum is that I respect legitament athority, but fight agianst those that try to break others to there will (like the public school system for example). Furthermore I tell the truth and keep my word, which further complicates maters.

I guess I'm a Neutral Good at heart.

11-18-04, 08:21 PM -2. I am lawful, and I will stand by that. The chaotic must be locked up and made lawful. Evil is just wrong and should be destroyed.

:D Barabel Hippie :D

11-22-04, 10:41 PM 0, 3 a's 3 c's, the rest b's, I guess I am Lawful, I knew it, so I am LN, but if I was stronger/more influential/not as cowardly, I would be LG, oh yeah.

I stick to my original guess of my alignment, which was the top left corner, LN, LG, NG, or TN

11-24-04, 12:45 PM Didn't keep precise track of points, but I'm definitely chaotic, given this test.Which is good, since I'm in a homebrew PrC that requires a chaotic alignment.

Don't think I'd really count the -1 on cleanliness for my char: He cleans up with some convenience magic. Gotta squeeze as much benefit as I can out of his 18 (22) Cha.

11-24-04, 01:14 PM I got a lot of A's and a lot of C's. Very odd. I suppose it's a belief in personal discipline combined with the idea of the high value of the individual and his/her freedom.

But the total was 3. So I guess I'm Neutral :)

although the test is interesting- it is skewed against lawful characters- it is much easier to test chaos than law becuase chaos has a +1 AND a +2 section whereas law only has a -1 section.

If there becomes a -2 law thing then I would consider the test much fairer.

Yeah, not keeping track of points = +20, so if you didn't keep track of points, you are automatically chaotic, regardless of any answers you gave.

I was surprised that I came out with +11, making me technically chaotic, but just barely. I could have gone another direction with several of the answers.

I could give them designtions of 1, 2, 3, and 4 if you like. It tests out the same. I may revise this test for other reasons, though.
