May 25, 2013 17:06:51 No. The Fated and Anarchism are closely tied.
Yes. The Fated have a structure belief system based on that conflict between groups in society leads to social progress as superior groups outcompete inferior ones.

As a DM I would allow it.

May 26, 2013 13:43:30 Yeah, I don't see any reason why a monk can't be an anarchist. They're Lawful because they have strong SELF-discipline, and D&D lumps that into Law, but monks have no particular allegiance to the SOCIAL order which is also represented by a Lawful alignment.

A monk who tried to be an Anarchist would eventually have to overthrow his own martial order as it is part of the power structure of his society...

In contrast with the above poster I would say that an anarchist can have an order which have as an aim the freedom in its absolute form. Such an order ofc would be anti-authoritarian and an heterarchical organization (although the things i say doesn't take in mind much the Planescape lore. They are based more in the modern notion of anarchism and anarchism organization).
