I have a CN character (my highest level character actually) and I don't play him "evil". I think the problem is with the people in your area controlling characters.

dont quite know what that means??

I am CN, and you want me to conform to these scoiety rules, to do your bidding for no reward and all of this with some mad Pasah or Fop saying i should do this and that for their political ambition....yeah right

you cant be CN and act day after day under such restrictions and order.

It depends how much influence the Pathfinders have over you; fear is a powerful motivator. The Pathfinders can also set up CN characters with some excellent treasure hauls, acting as an adventurer's research arm. Are you seriously saying your characters don't do well financially out of the missions?

The Pathfinders can also pull strings to get the authorities to back off, if you've been a little naughty, and help you out in any number of ways that fall in between scenarios. Theoretically if you disappear on a mission there'll be another group coming along afterwards to look for you too, so there is always hope if you get in over your heads. That's worth a lot, even to a CN character.

I would suggest banning the LG alignment and paladins though, as they're just not very good team players. Rather than take advantage of skills other characters bring to the group they spend all day whinging about how this is unacceptable, or that is unacceptable; they threaten to report you to the authorities and put the society in danger, or walk away and refuse to complete the mission because their morality is so superior. I'm talking about characters who issue ultimatums and refuse to compromise. The Pathfinder Society would do well to show them the door. It's time the CN characters took a stand...

My LG lawyer disagrees with me of course.

OK, so maybe your definition is also part of the problem.

So you're saying that someone CN can't possibly work in the Pathfinders? Am I interpreting you right?

Just because you're "chaotic" doesn't mean you can't follow orders. It means you might follow the orders but you do the job "your way". It does mean you value freedom, adaptibility and flexibility. The

Pathfinders seem like a flexible organization that values diversity, I'm sure they welcome chaotic characters (who are free, creative thinkers).

You ever see movies where you have a maverick cop, who basically does the job, but he does it "his way"? That's a chaotic alignment. And it's a chaotic alignment within a "lawful" (literally) organization. Sure, it ruffles feathers, but they feel their way is the right way and don't feel the need to follow protocol. That's chaotic. Chaotic doesn't mean doing random s@!$, chaotic means wanting to do things "your way".
