Are the Outer Gods chaotic evil or chaotic neutral?

Chaotic
good and evil don't apply

Yes.

Lawful neutral but the order they follow is so infinitely complex that it seems random to lesser beings

do not fit human understanding, so do not fit a man-made alignment

These are correct.

Yog-Sothoth exists outside of creation. Ergo it cannot have an alignment.

They are beyond morality. Is the universe good or evil? What alignment does the electromagnetic force have?

Nyarlathotep's alignment, however, is Complete Asshole.

Alignments for incomprehensible elder beings is like trying to guess the correct chess piece in for a unstable element isotope, i.e. you are asking a stupid question with no proper answer. No answer is more correct or more false, since you are asking wrong questions.

Radium should be used for the rook

> Applying concepts of human morality to eldritch beings

This, this, and these. Trying to push an alignment on ancient eldritch beings is frankly insulting to the raw power they represent.

They are ghay'hukjas, or maybe bnuoj-jytyu'u depending on which side of the thygy'yfh debacle you are on. Altrought you could make a good argument about they being foilas'ksas from the Elder Thing's point of view.
Still, in terms of human morality they likely sit comfortably at the non-euclidean intersection of Lawful Insane, Chaotic Mad and Neutral Concerned.

Those eldritch beings are written by human hands and so their actions can be summarized and classified. From an observer's point of view they're almost always either chaotic something, or a forest fire. And an observer's point of view is necessary to put things into alignments. I'm just tired of the entire "they are abooooooove understandiiiiiing. They are either characters or props.

>implying
Rooks are simple, powerful, and move in straight lines. They should be Iron.
Pawns are Hydrogen, that much is obvious, Knights could be... Sulphur?

Yes.

Also all the others.

Roll 1d10 for an alignment every time you use an alignment based spell/power on them. (on a roll of 0, they have a contradictory alignment such as Lawful Chaotic, or Good Evil.)

What alignment would you give a totally natural hurricane?

True Neutral.

Chaotic Neutral.

What you fail to understand is that they are props or, more accurately, events.

What aligment do you give to time?
And to space? And to gravity?
What is the aligment of physics itself?
And to fear? And to madness?
And to music? To colors?
To logic?

he said UNSTABLE isotopes. but for elements in general, I think that may work.

Unaligned is an alignment in 5e.

Time:Forward
Space: Undefined
Gravity: radial
fear: dunno
madness: dunno
Music: In whatever direction the wave is propagating
colors: given by the wavelength.
Logic: True

Potato
It's kinda the point

>Neutral Concerned

Yes, yes... But what if we start playing chess using quantum chemistry rules?..

Is OP a faggot or a retard?

...

king is oxygen and queen is carbon?

They're Nothing. Weaponized Nothing.

The outer gods are beyond comprehensions of simple definitions of what is good and evil. They don't consciously consider humanity or any other race.

Pure chaos

Humans are beyond any standard of values that ants make use of. They don't consciously consider the wellfare of any sort of insect.

Pure chaos.

Cthulhu could be Lawful Good for all the difference it makes. A Paladin doesn't cry over a swatted fly.

They are a completely alien species and comprehend everything differently. Lovecraft basically meant for them to be unknowable by design.

It is like having a worm comprehend the meaning of life. Explaining light to the blind, teaching what the sensation of touch is to people born without the ability to touch anything.

Cthulhu, the alien entity doesn't care for humanity and the lore of the Mythos says it wants to basically destroy all life on earth.

Underrated post

So, anytime we move a piece, we have to calculate it's wavefunction?

When a Paladin cures someone's disease, are they not destroying all members of a lifeform in a particular host?

If anything, making the world extinguishing eldritch horror Lawful Good actually reinforces the idea of humanity as utterly insignificant. Their lives aren't even taken into account for determining their morality.

>What alignment does the electromagnetic force have?

Depends. It has six of them. Up, down, strange, charm, top, and bottom.

We need one of those alignment charts for this.

Azathoth is Chaotic bacon
Yog-Sothoth is Lawful necktie

>Cthulhu, the alien entity doesn't care for humanity and the lore of the Mythos says it wants to basically destroy all life on earth.

You're right about the not caring part, but Cthulhu doesn't want to destroy all life on Earth; he genuinely doesn't care. Cthulhu's awakening might destroy human civilization, but that would just be an accidental byproduct of Cthulhu going about his day.

I'mma steal this line, is it ok if I credit you "user - Veeky Forums"

>Those eldritch beings are written by human hands
Yet, they are implied to be "moralless", if not mindless.Author may failed in expressing it but THE idea stands.
>spoiler
They are paysage

mortals cant understand there reasining and those who try cant make out any desernable patterns.
