In case anyone is curious, after carefully weighing everyone's advice, I decided to go with NG for this character's alignment, with pronounced N tendencies, given that he can be quite ruthless with those whom he perceives as future threats.

Thanks everyone! It's great to see people converging on a consensus. This was really educational for me, and I appreciate your inputs.

The character was once a blacksmith dwelling in a backwoods village in Rashemen with his wife and two young sons. He thought that he had everything he wanted or needed out of life, and he would have been content to continue this humble existence had fate not intervened. After a hard day's work...

I added some additional exposition to my initial post. Perhaps after you read it, you might be able to narrow your selection. I would truly appreciate hearing any additional thoughts you might have on the matter!

Fair enough!

It's interesting to see such broadly differing perspectives even among veteran players. I was clearly right to be confused! So far, I've heard LN, N, CN, NG, and CG as answers.

Those are very good points. Thanks!

double post!

Based on your previous answer, I'm assuming you would classify Frank Castle as LN. Would you place my character as Neutral on the Good-Evil axis based on the additional exposition I provided?

As I'm thinking about it, he doesn't really follow an external code at all, just his own simple sense of right and wrong. This generally involves protecting the helpless and innocent from those who would prey on them. He tends to categorize people as either villains, victims, or neither, based...

By this statement, I assume you mean that I should not worry about his alignment. Point taken, but I'm still curious to hear people's thoughts.

You suggest that strict adherence to a personal code makes a character lawful. I can totally understand this point of view, but I find it hard to reconcile with the fact that the character in question has little or no regard for lawful authority, which is something that I generally associate...

I'm prone to agree with this, though I asked the question primarily to ascertain whether there was a fairly cut-and-dried answer that I was just missing.

This reasoning makes sense to me. Jingoism + Racial Bigotry + Puppet Sex = LG. Got it!

Thanks! Good insights.

I am relatively new to D&D, and I am a little bit confused about where my new character falls on the alignment axes. He is driven by his own internal compass to punish wrongdoers and to protect the innocent, but he cares very little about the law. He also tends to view things in black and...
