Having thought about just that for the past few days, it occurs to me what is different: The succubus is not a typical demon. Most demons would have tried to muscle through or use their Charisma to escape and kill Adrian and keep the imp as an unwilling pet or devise some way to kill it permanently to protect itself. A succubus, in the same scenario, would act more like a devil, and hope to manipulate her way out of the situation (or to cause as much chaos and evil as she can while in the situation).<br/><br/>She's following the letter of the law because she's<em>forced to</em>by the binding spell, and while following the letter of the law and not the spirit would typically be a Lawful Evil thing to do, it is the paradigm she's forced into while operating within the agreement. She'll still try to cause as much chaos and evil as possible, but she has to do it while within the effects of the letter of the rules set down by Adrian in the binding spell.<br/><br/>The difference would be seen much more clearly if it were a demon vs. a devil trying to achieve some goal, rather than signing what someone else wrote (i.e., a devil would write an agreement so that it had loopholes to get out of it and the other party did not; a demon wouldn't draft an agreement at all, but would just coerce someone into doing their bidding without paperwork). That would show the true difference between LE and CE.<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=189056.msg10084229#msg10084229">Quote from: TheGlyphstone on 06-06-2014, 01:04:12</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Alternatively, Lawful Evil  will go into real estate business, charging high rents to people in need of homes, and cheerfully have them evicted by strong men the instant they are overdue on the rent to let in a new tenant, and occasionally conducting arson to burn down their own property for insurance.
