Editing Always Chaotic Evil

{{dnd-stub}}

'''Always Chaotic Evil''' is a slang term that [[/tg/]] has picked up from our frenemies over on [[tvtropes]]. The term originates from [[Dungeons & Dragons]], and specifically its early use of the mechanics of [[alignment]]. In the [[Monster Manual]], creatures would always have their "alignment propensity", the specific alignment that the "average" member of their species would have, listed as part of their statblock.

It's mostly used as an easy placeholder term for the "typically villainous races" - [[orc]]s, [[goblinoid]]s, [[gnoll]]s, [[ogre]]s, etc. A handy way to refer to the usual "chuck 'em at the PCs and let them hack 'em down" cannon fodder races.

The term has gotten a little unwelcome on /tg/ in modern years, as the basic idea that thinking humanoid races are somehow inherently evil and deserve only extermination is seen as being... well, a little too [[/pol/]]-friendly.
