Agree with the undead - makes Vivamort cultist and interesting border case though.
As for chaos, the one time that the problem has come up for our group, the healer was asked to 'deal with' a ferocious Scorpion Man that was blocking the novice party's exit from a dungeon. She thought about it long and hard before deciding that sleeping it was the safest thing for all concearned, but realised that the hatred of chaos exhibited by the rest of the group made it likely that they would ignore the penalties of 'breaking the healer's covenant' and kill it once it was defenseless. So she used her initiate DI to de-taint it (this was pre-CONvulsion 1), and then accompanied it into Pavis where it now stands guard outside the re-formed Orlanthi temple (sans sting) which really annoys the Storm Kahn next door.

I'm a 26 year old Computer Studies graduate working developing real-time
hydraulic models of oil and gas pipeline systems. I started ruleplaying in my
middle teens (AD&D - soap and water supplied). By 1984 I had progressed to
roleplaying RQII in Balazar. I co-run a Gloranthan campaign set in the early
18th Solar Century (the 160x Lunar invasion of Dragon Pass having been beaten
back early) at nearby (150 miles) Loughborough University. In what spare time
remains I play a number of different systems and run a toon-ish Champions
universe on the side. I am currently engaged in finalising the competition
scenario for this year's Student National championships (all players welcome),
which promises to surpass the duck/vampire one of two years ago [all bribes
gratefully accepted].
