Extreme lawful neutral who think they're good. The most annoying character in your party, who will insist everyone has to give up 10% of the loot to orphans, or else he'll make your life hell. He'll stop a chase scene because he has to chastise someone that was jaywalking.

Examples of Lawful Stupid

  • The Inevitables, which are divine golems with the duty to uphold and correct broken laws. There's a story of one named "Obligatum" who is the BBEG in a campaign because some mages summoned a cthulhubeast by accident and imprisoned it instead of finishing the ritual to letting it loose because that would destroy the cosmos. Well, Obligatum is here to set things right, and make sure that poor, imprisoned omnicidal maniac gets the freedom it was promised.
  • The Harmonium from Planescape
... the Harmonium believes that peace is a better end than war. [...] If it takes thumping heads to spread the truth, well, the Harmonium's ready to thump heads. Sure, there may not be peace right away, but every time the Harmonium gets rid of an enemy, the multiverse is that much closer to the universal harmony it was meant to have.
This attitude is how Arcadia got annexed into Mechanus, and the gods of Arcadia had to start over. Whoops.
  • Most Spees Mareens. Stealth is cowardice, frontal assaults are the only way to go. Retreating is never an option, even if it's to gain more cover. Some will never field psykers, ignore xenos, and some won't even cooperate with other chapters.
