Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brentos" data-source="post: 3611744" data-attributes="member: 14027">From the SRD"The Nine AlignmentsNine distinct alignments define all the possible combinations of the lawful-chaotic axis with the good-evil axis. Each alignment description below depicts a typical character of that alignment. Remember that individuals vary from this norm, and that a given character may act more or less in accord with his or her alignment from day to day. Use these descriptions as guidelines, not as scripts. The first six alignments, lawful good through chaotic neutral, are the standard alignments for player characters. The three evil alignments are for monsters and villains. Lawful Good, "Crusader"A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. She combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. She tells the truth, keeps her word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion."It seems to me it is all about the acts.  Some fluff is combined to describe why, but the key is the act.  Otherwise wouldn't this read:A lawful good character intends to be a good person.  She intends to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly.  She tries to tell the truth, wants to keep her word, intends to help those in need, and wishes to speak out against injustive.  A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished.</blockquote>
