[QUOTE="Squire James, post: 3753274, member: 548"] Hey, I invited discussion, right? I guess my initial thought of him was that he was Lawful Good, but various hangups were threatening that image. Maybe starting from True Neutral is really the only fair thing to do... let's see how my "strike system" works now... Never harm a defenseless child. Most people wouldn't. No Strikes. Wants to save the world from a tyrannical evil government. All good guys want this, chaotic or otherwise. 2 Good Strikes. He'll give the shirt off his back to a stranger if that would help them. Two Good Strikes. Staunchly loyal to his friends. Again, most people are. Loyalty is a trait of Law, though, so I'll give him 1 Law Strike. Won't keep rewards from quests, preferring to give it back to the town or to another worthy cause. 2 Good Strikes, and 2 Law Strikes. The main reason why I started him Lawful Good in my first assessment. Uses torture as his primary questioning technique for prisoners. OK, 2 Evil Strikes like before... this cancels out 2 Good Strikes. Heck, take away 1 Law Strike as well - this sort of thing is usually against the law... Has, on several occasions, beaten someone to death with their own limbs. I fail to see the big distinction between one using limbs and using swords. Dead is dead. Killing is killing. I'd be giving him more Good Strikes if I knew all the people he did this to deserved it. The other text implies this might be the case, but the general gristliness of the deed cancels it out. No Strikes. A fervent believer in eugenics, he has sterilized many useless or stupid people along his travels. I believe I gave him 2 Evil Strikes for this. Nothing has happened to change my opinion of this. I understand his hatred of "stupid" and/or "useless" people and share some of it, but I consider it a fault within me rather than a virtue. Seduces women in every town he comes across, hoping to sire an army along the way. 1 Law Strike for his strangely lawful purpose, and 2 Chaos Strikes for the odd way he chooses to go about it. To tote things up: 2 net Good Strikes. He's True Neutral guy whose evil traits drag him down like a lead weight. My answer was different, but not by much. I still refuse to ignore all his positives and judge his alignment purely by his negatives (which I would have to do, to declare him Evil). [/QUOTE]
