[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 6136341, member: 1165"] Alignments: [b]Clearly[/b] define them. TVTropes and even Palladium did a very good job. Goes doubly for paladins. (The list of 10 "lawful good" traits in Palladium looks like the paladin code. Ironically Palladium paladins can be "neutral good". But that's not relevant.
