Plus, you have to take the alignment into account.  Chaotic characters are
unpredictable, and do what ever they want, especially the evil ones.
Sometimes that means randomly killing whoever happens to be nearby, no
matter who they are.  Consequences and such triffles as who the target
worships aren't even considered.  That's not important to a chaotic
character.  All the chaotic evil one thinks about is how he feels at the
time, and if he feels like killing a drow, he'll do it, without thinking of
who or what will be displeased.  And he will be true to his alignment and
the plane of chaotic evil in doing so.
