[QUOTE="Endovior, post: 2926766, member: 33321"] A few thoughts. He sounds interesting, but he comes up against a basic problem... it's a societal one, rather then a game-mechanical one. It is this: Freedom is a Chaotic concept, not a Lawful one. Law implies rules and regulations, which limit, or even eliminate freedom. As such, the Liberation domain is intended for Chaotic gods. It's possible, yes... like it's possible for a Good god to have a domain like Madness or Tyranny... ie: needs a good story. I could see an insane Chaotic Good barbarian god, or a tyrannical Lawful Good inquisitor god... but a Lawful Good liberator would have to have a specific moral-ethical spin... personally I'd suggest a Libertarian philosophy, with a few simple rules: Rule 1: Never initiate the use of force against an intelligent being. Rule 2: Never exchange goods or services with any other intelligent being except with mutual agreement. (Note: this prohibits theft, as the other party did not agree to your taking of his property, as well as taxation... donations to the state must be voluntary) Rule 3: Never break your freely-given word, unless the other party has broken their part of the agreement. Rule 4: Any law or ruler which violates any of the above rules is not to be considered a legitimate authority, and should be ignored. Of course, there are clarifications and exceptions... for example, it's fair game to attack someone who is attacking others, and if a hostile mage is casting an attack spell in a potential combat situation (and you've won initiative), he is to be considered to have initiated force. Also, the incapacitated are always considered to be willing to receive aid, unless they have previously stated otherwise. If these rules are followed, then 'nobles' are those who uphold and enforce these beneficial rules... and it makes sense to follow their dictates, as you agree with them yourself. (Incidentally, if Azwan did indeed follow such laws, then he becomes a God that I would very much like to follow... my Wizard will certainly be converting, and I'll probably generate a Cleric...)
