Is there ANY way for Druid to have the Chaotic Evil alignment?

Ignore the stupid alignment restriction?
A smile from ear to ear
3.5 is disappointingly flawed.

Not an option, sadly.

Having an alignment subtype that differs from your actual alignment allows you to count as having multiple different alignments simultaneously for some purposes.  What are you trying to accomplish?

neutral evil is chaotic evil if you can explain if the action benefits you beyond he could hurt me someday, but if you need it for some pre-req then no I don't think you can.

The feat Ordered Chaos in Fiendish Codex I lets you count as chaotic for some purposes, but not many.

Hellbred may also help depending on what you are attempting.

I'm playing a Lolth-Touched Arrow Demon for a gestalt game. I have no leeway for the "always chaotic evil" aspect, and due to houserules, there aren't many other ways to do what I'm trying to accomplish.

I'm going to check the Campaign Setting book, but I'd like to know which of the books you're referring too.

Spend a week around an Emissary of Barachiel and fail your saves (which you will).  Then you'll be CN.

It's an arena game. I need a strictly mechanical method for changing the restriction of druid.

Have the Emissary of Barachiel be your cohort via leadership.

It's banned. I'm sorry, I should have said most of this at the beginning.

Always chaotic evil does not mean literally always, just an overwhelming majority ("often" = 40%, "usually" = 60%, "always" = 90%). A creature who's literally made of chaos and evil can be Lawful Good; being one step away from the usual alignment is by no means weird (it doesn't even have any effect on worshipping your god; Lloth in particular has more NE worshippers than CE ones). And individuals who stray from that alignment are more likely to become adventurers.

I know this is odd, but I have to stick strictly to the alignment of the race. But I'm hoping their's a variant of druid that kets me change alignment. I guess not.

Any possibility of going into Blighter? It's generally poor op-fu, but it might get you some of what you need. Wildshape Ranger on the opposite gestalt side may also help out, depending on what you want to do.

Well, the specific build is Arrow Demon HD 10/LA2/Fist of the Forest 3/Lolth-Touched Template 1//Druid 16. I have UA variants that trade Wild Shape and the Animal companion for Wis to AC, Favored Enemy, and the other benefits, since animal forms can't compete with the monster races everyone is playing in. Assume enemies will be fairly optimized themselves, though there are certain houserules in effect that prevent casters from running as rampant as they might normally. The general idea is Wis/Con to AC, outsider goodies, and full Druid casting, of course. I'll check out Blighter.

We have a way of reducing the LA...significantly.

Why not be an Archivist / Prestige Ranger?
