I and the other players in the campaign in question seem to constantly butt heads over my LN monk. The DM for his part seems to be gently nudging me in one direction but is pretty much not saying alot about it except to comment that I have been acting "more lawful lately" The main sticking point seems to be what "lawful" actually is. I tend to believe that since it is opposed by chaos Lawful really means ordered (ie following a personal code is fine as long as you aren't changingg it from session to session though it can grow and mutate over time) and is less based on following the particular laws in any city state or kingdom. The majority of the rest of the party seem to believe that to be lawful you must either be following the laws of the land or those set out by the deity you venerate.As an example the situation I get thrown at me the most often comes from "the burning plague" module from the WOTC website. We arrived at Duvik's Pass (a smallish mining town) and get turned away because they are all infected with some disease. We don't know the cause and seeing as how the entire town is infected to one degree or another the plague seems rather contagious to my monk. My suggestion on how to deal with it (and I knew the party wasn't going to let me) was "For the good of all Faerun we must burn down and cleanse the village to keep this from spreading" It just seemed the most efficient thing to do.I really caused jaws to drop recently when we were transported to a world unfamilliar to us and upon a wererat surrendering to us I stopped them (the rest of the party ranges from LG to CN) from killing it and got them to let the local paladin that was following us around to pass judgement. My view being normally anything that surrenders to me is allowed to live (the rest of the party does not hold this view) But we were strangers in a strange land so being unfamilliar with the law it would be wiser to allow local agents of said law to carry out the punishment of prisoners.</blockquote>
