[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7980094, member: 6801845"] I empathize, but I don't think there is a good answer. I mean, take the first line of "lawful" from 3.5 "Lawful characters tell the truth, keep their word, respect authority, honor tradition, and judge those who fall short of their duties. " Well ... there's issues with that. My lawful PC is infiltrating enemy lands, are they just going to tell the truth and turn themselves over to local authorities? Is that LE mafia elite really going to tell the truth in court? Are they going to respect that law enforcer trying to put an end to their operations? What traditions do they honor? Do they honor a tradition of a lottery system based on chance? In other words, there's about as much consensus on how to define alignment as there is on what a psion class should look like. It's hard, if not impossible, to come up with a concrete set of rules that work for everyone. [/QUOTE]
