What the hell kinda' alignment is that? Name one real person in history that has been truly neutral. I bet you're having a hard time thinkng of anyone that you'd consider mentally stable. To be neutral you have to have NO ALLEGIANCE TO ANYTHING. A truly neutral person would have to have grown up with no friends, no likes, no dislikes, no personality, and probably wouldn't have the inclination to become an adventurer, as so many choose this as their alignment. It's a weak excuse to hold everything for granted. I think a true neutral would drive my party insane sooner than a chaotic neutral. At least a CN has a personality! I suppose this has more place on a general D&D message board, but this is close enough. That's one of the reasons I kicked Jaheira out of my party, I was personally insulted when she'd pick on my ability to take a stance. I had to go recruit Ajantis to replace Khalid. Then Branwen pissed me off, too, so I took the chance and went through the rest of the game without a cleric.

Take my advice, ignore TSR's alignment descriptions, they're the biggest messed up part of the whole AD&D game, chaotic neutral doesn't mean you're a madman, and true nuetral, well that just means that you don't care wheither there's law or anarchy, or about good or evil holding sway. Druids, TSR claims are true neutral, but in all thier druidy examples I've seen they tend more towards neutral good/ chaotic good.
