I don't know if this is relevant to this situation, but the ordered chaos feat from Fiendish Codex I seems to imply that being affected 'as if you were chaotic, as well as your actual alignment' means that you take the least harmful version of the two effects: in this case, half damage (or, if the demon were lawful neutral, no effect)īut the wording of the SRD's chaotic subtype seems to imply something even worse than the opposite: the demon would take the effects of the spell as a chaotic outsider, 10d6, and also as a neutral creature/outsider, which is half of 10d6 again (or half of 5d8, depending on when you consider its outsider type). The creature also suffers effects according to its actual alignment.
The spell deals 10d6 damage to chaotic outsiders, or half damage to creatures who are neither chaotic nor lawful (aka neutral).Īny effect that depends on alignment affects a creature with this subtype as if the creature has a chaotic alignment, no matter what its alignment actually is. Let's cast order's wrath at caster level 10th on our demon. For example, say you 'redeem' a demon (an outsider with the chaotic subtype), so its alignment is now true neutral.
