[QUOTE="Gothstaff, post: 7978559, member: 6929258"] The Alignment grid fascinates me, but I feel it's too 2-Dimensional due to intelligence not being factored in, but then again, it's not supposed to be, not until you make a character to give it it's main personality that is... take e.g. Beasts are always neutral, because their int is always 3 or lower, so the opposite must be true that the more intelligent the better grasp into ethics and morals... A friend once argued the Joker (from Batman obviously) is Lawful Evil, because according to him no CE creature should be able to live too long as they tend to kill each other, hence the Joker must be very good in Law that he manipulates Chaos proficiently. I argue that the Joker is CE, not only because it's obvious, but because he's a Genius at being chaotic: The joker makes sense of Chaos like no ones business... the keyword here being "Genius." The smarter the character the better he/she thrives in his/her alignment, but this is specially true for Chaotic alignments. [/QUOTE]
