[QUOTE="Some call me Tim, post: 1698752, member: 12781"] My group has been discussing issues regarding alignment recently. This hypothetical has been posed and I'd like some outside opinion as food for thought. Suppose that our party is in the wilderness on a mission to retrieve a widget that will be of great benefit to our town. It is vital that this widget be found. Our party runs across a group of evil humans who inform us that they plan to attack and pillage an orc village that is a few miles away. Here is the question--are those members of our party whom are of LG alignment bound to stop this attack? Does it matter that the mission may be jeopardized by this intervention? Is a "good" aligned character jeopardizing his alignment by choosing to ignore the peril of the orcs? Does it matter that the orcs are evil? What if the member of the party were instead of LN alignment? I won't even state my opinion on this, but there are wildly different views within the group on this matter. I'd love to see some discussion here. [/QUOTE]
