Players Guide - Being Chaotic Good

[@nimnim4699]

Mans has his ps2 ready to play in 2019, gotta respect that

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

So many great classics on it! I still go back to GTA III, Vice City, MGS2, FF Tactics...hell: to many to list!

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

@Tom teeriff Nash My first was the Super Nintendo; lots of time on Super Mario World, Street Fighter Alpha II and a Might Morphin Power Rangers fighting game. The PS2 just had such an expansive library, with a wild array of games. Playing PS1 games on it just made it even better.

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

Still go back and play it XD

Aladdin is another example of chaotic good.

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

That's actually a pretty damn good example, honestly.

[@mikekazz5353]

DM: so it's down time let's start with the cleric teafling (sorry if spelled wrong). Player: ok so I go hunting and fishing for a quarter of the day, cook for the orphanage with the fresh catch and meat for an hour, split my jerky with a random dog, bless some wine for the the drunken master of the party, and finally forge my silver coins to plate my holy knuckle dusters.

[@agsilverradio2225]

Sonic the Hedgehog is chaotic good; but his chaoticness usually manufests as being a thrillseaker, rather than disrespect for authority. Q from Star-Teck is chaotic good too, and it manufests as using pranks as a teaching tool, to help humanity better itself.

[@99thJediWarrior]

Currently playing as a Chaotic Good greatsword-wielding Cleric/Fighter named Korion on Neverwinter Nights. Often fights for the down-trodden, willing to use violence if necessary to help others. Also fights undead but also learns to summon undead in a fight. For him, Necromancy is a tool that when handle right, it can be a great asset. Most Clerics abhor the undead, but Korion learns to wield Necromancy as a tool for good.

[@TheRebelkid15]

PS2. A man of culture.

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

It was a golden age of gaming; Soul Calibur II, GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas, Deus Ex, Tekken Tag Tournament; the list goes on!

[@GrayBeans]

This is a very under-rated channel, thanks for helping me figure out how my Necromancer Wizard who thinks she is a Cleric would be!

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

I love the idea for your Necromancer, that's flat out awesome! And thank you for saying so! Tell your friends!

[@GrayBeans]

@@GamersDenLoremaster I already showed my dm! And thanks I am still pretty new to dnd, and while I liked my artificer I had made we didn't have much for comedic relief plus my dm also thought it was hilarious!

[@billbillinger2117]

I know Im late on this but...thanks for these vids. Playing BG3 and dipping into dnd for the first time, and man these helped.

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

It's not late if it became relevant to you recently! I'm just glad it was a handy when you needed it.

[@BlunderedEnigma]

Honestly not a bad take at all. I like that you make a point to say that this is just one interpretation of something that's pretty broad.

[@lumerarkenstone]

I like Pathfinder 2E's interpretation of Alignment, specifically the idea of champions. For the longest time, Paladins were locked into ONLY being Lawful Good or ONLY Lawful Evil in the case of Blackguards. Well now, Pathfinder introduces champions, where you can have divinely inspired knights of ANY alignment. So if you wanted to play a chaotic good Robin Hood type character, who also happens to be a knight, there's now a viable option for you.

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

I agree and it's a conclusion my friends and I landed on a long time ago in 3rd edition. It was when we realized: "Wait...why are monks locked to any Lawful alignment? How is martial discipline exclusively a lawful trait? That's dumb." So we ended it and extended it to Paladins with it being more or less: "Behave how your deity would want their exemplar faithful to behave."

[@tomrodgers6629]

I live Chaotic Good. 😀

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

I try to, but I honestly probably fall more into neutral good. But sometimes I see some hostile architecture and damn: it just has a couple of nuts and bolts holding it together. Anybody with a 10mm socket and a ratchet could just take it off, you know?

[@CJToole]

Great explanation and great examples!

[@kratossword1728]

I love Chaotic Good Red Characters Firestorm (DC Comics) Mai Shiranui (The King of The Fighters) Ruby Rose (RWBY) Hellboy (Dark Horse Comics) Dante (Devil May Cry) Natsu Dragneel (Fairy Tail) Ryuko Matoi (Kill la Kill) Akame (Akame Ga Kill) Rias Gremory (High School DxD)

[@pugking4518]

My Winter Witch started out as chaotic neutral but has now become chaotic good he was originally from Irrisen and being good in his homeland has major drawbacks but now that he has been away from Irrisen for sometime he has become more concerned with the welfare of people and trying to make life easier for others which is something he could not do in Irrisen

[@LumaFuwari]

Chaotic good = Anime protagonist

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

For a lot of them, yeah. Yuseke Urameshi from Yu Yu Hakusho, Ichigo from Bleach, Naruto; lots certainly fit the bill.

[@kratossword1728]

Neutral Good: Naruto Chaotic Good: Ichigo Kurosaki

[@ManrayO_O]

About to play a CG Halfling, thanks for the help 😎

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

I'm glad to hear it! Go forth and have fun!

[@allstarr1875]

This will help with my character thankes

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

Glad to be of help!

[@pauljackson3491]

I don't want to be "that guy" but you need more than 200ish subscribers. They, who?, need like 1/2 alignments. I might think of myself as Chaotic Good but really more like '1/2*Chaotic' Good.

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

I would love to have more subscribers! And I try to use alignments loosely myself, what with people being complex creatures and all before we add in gods and magic and all that fun jazz. The only time I ever play alignments firmly are outsiders, or when a class dictates hard lines.

[@m72795]

I like how you have been describing the good alignments. Will you be doing Lawful Neutral next and are you are going to be releasing it soon?

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

Yes I will be! I'm thinking I should have it out this weekend, hopefully with another Dm Guide video as well. And thank you for the comment; it's always great to get feedback!

[@acotooychic101]

I like that you kept your descriptives short, concise and comprehensive. I left three other videos because they took too long to explain what I was looking for. We are starting a campaign with our kids, the character I’m playing is a chaotic good Aasimar that was born from Drow parents. I’m pretty proud of her backstory. Her name is Lilum This video helped me. I’m going to go for a Robin Hood and Legend of Korra feel. (Lilum uses cockiness and over confidence to hide her fear that not only is her older sister after her, but the rest of Menzoberranzan and Lolth) My daughter is a Teifling and my son chose to be a Dragonborn. So, a demon, an Angel, and a dragon walk into a bar… lmao

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

Sounds like a classic start to a great adventure and I'm glad to be able to help! Alignment can be such a tricky thing, enough so that I try to be loose with it. Which classes are you guys going for? Made any decisions on that yet?

[@acotooychic101]

Another good example of chaotic good is Jet from Avatar the last air-bender

[@acotooychic101]

Would you say Avatar Kyoshi would be chaotic good? Or would she be more neutral maybe?

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

@@acotooychic101 I'd say most iterations of the Avatar are along the lines of Neutral good. A strong emphasis on harmony and balance that supercedes and places them in the path of nations and rulers shows a willingness to stand against organised societies. But they also stand against chaotic forces running amok, like spirits, bandits, etc.

[@acotooychic101]

@@GamersDenLoremaster hmmm I think that would be an influence of Rava, but I think that each avatar is its own. Like Kuruk was self admittedly lazy. He was the reason The Face Stealer, Koh, killed his girlfriend. Avatar Kyoshi wasn’t a good example of chaotic good, I think she might more be lawful evil. She only did what was good for her and what she viewed was good. She didn’t try to save the Earth kingdom when Chen the conqueror was reigning. When he came to her door she decided “Haha, nope f this shit I’m out!” And cut off the peninsula and made Kyoshi Island. When they tried to prove her innocence of the case she said she didn’t see it any different accident or not she killed him when she did that. There were some very selfish avatars. A lot of fans hated Korra because of her “cockiness” yet loved those same traits in Toph and the other Beifongs. (Korra is my BAE 🥺) you can probably see what series I have absolutely delved into lol but these characters help me envision the alignments and what they could be portrayed as. I never would have thought of Kyoshi being lawful evil but my bf explained it to me and it makes sense. I understand that the alignments are a guide to how to role play. I’m so excited. We haven’t started yet

[@jtramelli5464]

awesome that you know what role master is

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

It's pretty fun! Though maybe just a touch too much going on with it; the DM for it used all the books from second edition and they were all on his tablet, so going through to find all the things that might come up could take time on top of it; but the way you could fine tune to build exactly the character you want? Absolutely an amazing time.

[@spartanalex9006]

I like to say this, when playing Chaotic Good, imagine that you're a member of the TEA Party on a crusade.

[@christruluck9000]

I love the ps2.

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

Me too, easily one of the greatest consoles to have come out. Not on account of it's technical power; the xbox had it beat there; but for the staggering library the damn thing had. So many good memories on it!

[@themissingpeace7956]

I’m having a hard time between chaotic good and neutral good, they seem very similar according to these guides

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

You're not wrong, there's a fair amount of overlap between the two. I would say, generally, the biggest difference is that Neutral Good sees the benefits and drawbacks to laws in structuring society, in addition to the benefits and drawbacks to disregarding them and will make use of either if it means achieving a greater degree of good for others as a whole. Chaotic Good, while maybe seeing the benefits to laws in some instances, recognizes how they can be subverted, bent and twisted by those in power. The law at that point is as much a dagger at the throat of society, as it is a shield for those abusing that power. So they are willing to forego the law entirely. But it doesn't mean they wouldn't welcome it under certain conditions. Take Robin Hood, especially the older movies and stories: He fought against the Tyrannical Prince John, who was claiming the throne of England and imposed crazy high taxes on his citizens. Robin fought against the law out of concern for the common folk and for the return of the rightful ruler, King Richard. I hope that has helped clarify things! Alignments are, by nature, a bit blurry on where one ends and another begins.

[@peter_isthewolf]

@@GamersDenLoremaster Wouldn't that make Robin Hood Neutral Good though? He didn't accept the law when prince John was ruling, but did accept them when the king Richard returned.

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

@@peter_isthewolf I think Chaotic Good can be accepting of Kingship and rulers it they laws and decrees they enact are overall a benefit for people. Most modern-ish retellings tend to show Robin Hood just up and leaving once King Richard returns to the throne (Robin Hood w/Errol Flynn, etc.) But there's a solid argument to be made for him being NG. I tend to look at it as his alignment shifting at the completion of the campaigns arc.

[@peopleskingdomofwolcottia]

Name: Grazian di Valletta Alignment: Chaotic Good I was once a violinist, travelling from kingdom to kingdom I tried to make my voice resound throughout all of Creation With respect and with honor from kings and farmers alike It's been my mission to bring the world new life Let's resound the song of the Carmagnola Long live the freedom that resounds throughout the Empire Let's resound the song of the Carmagnola Long live the freedom given by the Empire The noble promise of Sir John, and those wanting new renown Were met by the rebellion that tried to burn my art down "Play the music of the People! But a voice 'tis what's required Sing the songs of the Rebellion!" So to the faith, I inquired Let's resound the song of the Carmagnola Long live the freedom that resounds throughout the Empire Let's resound the song of the Carmagnola Long live the freedom given by the Empire I moved out the forces to the battle of Thrak's pass As I fought on for the king, I kicked the Republic's ass I gave glory to the king, 'cause the rebels won't let me be Liberty, equality - I rob you and you rob me! Let's resound the song of the Carmagnola Long live the freedom that resounds throughout the Empire Let's resound the song of the Carmagnola Long live the freedom given by the Empire I have no code, I have no order, I seek to bring disorder Through freedom, joy, and love, that is where one finds true honor I wished to be alone, but vengeance has its time So now, my royal troubadours, it's time for us to strike Let's resound the song of the Carmagnola Long live the freedom that resounds throughout the Empire Let's resound the song of the Carmagnola Long live the freedom given by the Empire (If anyone gets the reference you are a gigachad)

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

I love it and I want to say it's from the French Revolution, but that's off the top of my head and remembering the overall themes of the revolution after the king and the first estate blew a ton of Francs supporting the revolutionaries in the colonies.

[@peopleskingdomofwolcottia]

@@GamersDenLoremaster Sona Carmagnola, a Sicilian anti-French Revolution song. I wanted to show here how a Chaotic Good character could support a king against rebels. To me, lawful/chaotic is a conflict on how one views life. You can be a religious Noachide and monarchist (like I am) but go about your life in a manner that chooses freedom above order. My next character will be a Lawful Neutral who stands with the Republic in the civil war. I've always been fascinated by DnD though sadly I haven't had the chance to play it. These characters have nothing to do with an RPG world; merely several ideas that have been floating around in my head. Feel free to use them any way you want!

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

@@peopleskingdomofwolcottia I'll take a lesser title of Sorta Chad, or Minor Chad then! Hey, a character idea is still a character idea. I'm sorry you haven't had a chance to play though. D&D and many other games can be such an incredible amount of fun and if you get the chance, I highly recommend jumping in! I have a sneaking suspicion you'd do incredibly well.

[@peopleskingdomofwolcottia]

@@GamersDenLoremaster You're still a gigachad anyways. Based man! Have you created a campaign setting by any chance?

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

@@peopleskingdomofwolcottia Oh, that's almost all I do! XD I don't have anything against pre-made settings like Faerun or anything like that. But I just enjoy making up my own worlds and pantheons. My current favorite has to be the Pathfinder Game I'd been running off and on the last few years. Steampunk high Fantasy, I've lost three notebooks on what I'd put together, but most of it is in my head still. Would you like to hear about it?

[@detectivebot7480]

Would you say Uhtred from the Last Kingdom is chaotic good? I’m trying to make the character I play make decisions similar to him and are trying to get into the mind of the character but it’s my first DND experience so I’m not great at playing a character and not myself

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

I have only seen a few episodes of the show, so my insight is limited on it. But I'm assuming Uhtred makes a move for his father's throne, right? It's why his uncle tried so hard to pay the ransom after the battle: it ends all legitimate claims to the seat of power that supercede his own. So Uhtred is well within his rights to fight for lands and title that would be rightly his, he has Causus Belli; cause for war. Because his uncle had betrayed his father and was looking to kill him, it's justum bellum, or a 'just war'. Because for this time period with this portrayal, he could reasonably be seen as justified. If in conducting the war he uses clever tactics, ambushes, means that make up for his smaller numbers at the start, but is honoring agreements, not mindlessly butchering and pillaging, or is sparing prisoners and captives, then he's also navigating rules for jus ad bellum, or justice in war. I think he might be more of a neutral good character. But if he's conducting himself and his army with these principles in mind, but he's really ruthlessly effective against armed enemies in opposition to him and he's doing everything he can to even the odds that doesn't hurt the people (in particular those he's going to be ruling over after the fighting is done) then a good argument could be made for chaotic good at the start, but he's also fighting for a position that presumably will come with rules and laws that have to be maintained in a just fashion, but balance the needs of state since he can't just go and piss off all the nobles under him without risking their betrayal, so neutral good is where I think he would end up. But it's just one take out of a sea of takes and as I'd said: I've only seen three or four episodes. Far enough in that the dude he paid a ransom for him is dead and his farm burned down by the dude he'd cast out and that sociopathic kid of his.

[@lordtachanka903]

A real world example of Chaotic Good would be Saint Nicholas (the real person that Santa Claus is based off of) he literally punched a guy in the face for saying something heretical, and also threw money through peoples windows. Look up a documentary on his life, he did a bunch of other similar things too but I don’t have enough time to list them all in a comment.

[@Bullboy_Adventures]

On an unrelated note, youd look like a total chad if you worked out more.

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

Appreciate it! It's so hit and miss. I got decently bulked up working at a scrap recycling yard; I did vehicle remediation, so I also drained refrigerant from freezers, refrigerators and ac units in addition to the cars. I'd push them by hand across the asphalt, then work at 100 push ups every day I am no longer in that good of shape anymore. Again. XD

[@StillGamingTM]

Hmmm

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

Indeed! ... I always hear Professor Farnsworth when I write that.

[@direwolf8703]

I'm not sure if he's really chaotic good or more chaotic neutral but my character is an assassin who targets slavers child abusers and rapists regardless of small the bounty

[@GamersDenLoremaster]

That's one of those traits that could be held by any alignment really, a lot of it depends on context. CN, CG, even NE might find slavers, abusers and the like distasteful and hold a special hatred for them in their hearts. Normally NE, as a general rule, might find such things acceptable if it serves their ends. But it doesn't mean they HAVE to follow that rule. They might use a group of slavers to accomplish some end, like kidnapping someone, or tracking someone down. But then instead of paying them, the NE character hangs every last one of them, one by one and leaves the leader nailed to a tree for scavengers animals.

[@agsilverradio2225]

Somone I know played a character who rescued children from cults, in hopes to induct them into her own. She wasn't just using kids however. She genuinely belived she was helping the kids, and frankly, her god was far more benevolent than the powers the other cults were warshiping, even thoguh her God was a probly a figment of her imagination, and the other cult's deity was probly an actuall dark power. ... I think she's chaotic-good. She also stole a teddy-bear once, so it wouldn't be neglected. The previous owner had probly out grown the toy. ... However, the group leader also *leagaly* stole the entire building we found the bear in, after we helped a ghost who was haunting the place to move on. Unfortunatly for us, that ghost then got resurected, and was mad at us for stealing her buisiness, which we justifyed as compensation for the good deed of helping the (former) ghost.
