[QUOTE="kkoie, post: 170015, member: 1160"] I think it's very realistic to have a Lawful Neutral [b][i]thief[/i][/b][i][/i]. Mind you, I said thief not rogue. An example of a LN thief could be someone with a strict code on how he robs and steals. - he always makes sure he pays his guilde its due (no more no less). - when on a job, he avoids killing people as much as possible (killing someone might attract attention, not to mention the penalties if he is caught). [i] note when I say 'job' I'm refering to acts of larceny, not adventuring. [/i] - when a LN thief is on the job with others, and one of his comrads kills a witness (or even if he's by himself and he's forced to kill a witness), then the LN thief will have no qualms about killing further witnesses(so long as the noise doesn't attract attention). It's not evil, it's practical, by killing one person he's already sentenced him self to a punishment of murder, what differnse does it make if he kills more people?! Like in the movie [i]Heat[/i] why leave additional witnesses to a scene of murder? This is differn't from an evil thief, an evil thief would never qualm from killing to begin with, let alone have to have a reason to do so. - a LN thief will usually not rob a place blind, why should he? If he bankrupts the shop (or sends the house owner to the poor farm) thats one less potential place he could rob again in the future! - When a LN thief makes a promise, he almost always keeps it. He may be a thief, but he does have that much 'honor.' At the same time, if that same promise later proves to be inefficient or impractical, well, he's shouldn't have made the promise if he couldn't keep it. But at the same time, one always has their limits. Anyway you get the idea. K Koie [/QUOTE]
