[QUOTE="RogueJK, post: 122691, member: 170"] Angelsboi - while those are some interesting ideas, I don't quite agree with your thought train. If you go into a city where slavery is legal, and free a slave, that is most certainly [B]not[/B] lawful, and it is not evil, either. Lawful characters usually follow the law, no matter what it is. Freeing a slave in a city where slavery is legal would be Neutral or Chaotic Good. Most of the time, how well you follow the law isn't linked to how evil or good you are. For example, Robin Hood is cited as being Chaotic Good. He broke every law out there (Chaotic), but he did it for the right reasons (Good). There are two parts to alignment: The Good/Neutral/Evil part is their moral code; how they treat other people and how they view the world. The Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic part is partly based on how well the follow the rules, and how well they adhere to an honor system. Breaking the law doesn't make you evil, merely chaotic. Your motivation behind breaking that law and what you do while breaking said law are what determines whether it is Good or Evil. [/QUOTE]
