Line 3: {{quote\|''Always consider alignment as a tool, not a straitjacket that restricts the character.''\|Oft-forgotten sentence from ''Advanced [[Dungeons and Dragons\|Dungeons & Dragons]]'', 2nd Edition Player's Handbook}} A character who does things that don't make any sense, just because it's a [[For Great Justice\|"good"]] or [[For the Evulz\|"evil"]] thing to do. It's not that they've lost their ~~goal -- they~~goal—they're actually true to their good or evil [[Character Alignment\|alignment]], but at the cost of every survival mechanism developed by humanity. This goes way beyond being a [[Slave to PR]] or [[Card-Carrying Villain]]. Nor are these characters always [[Knight Templar~~\|Knight Templars~~]]s. A [[Knight Templar]] is not necessarily Lawful Stupid, although they are always Lawful Neutral or Lawful Evil - with fanatical devotion to the word of law and absolutely no concern for the spirit. For more on Lawful Stupid and Chaotic Stupid, check out the [http://theferrett.livejournal.com/189493.html LJ post by The Ferrett] in which he introduced the terms. However, note that his definition of Chaotic Stupid is closer to our usage of Stupid Evil.
