I think of it as a guideline. Without it, many PCs would have a greater tendency of evil behavior one week, good the next, just based on the whims of the player. Many PCs would be the equivalent of 3.5 D&D Chaotic Neutral.There is an entitlement mindset to our gaming community (and to society at large) where anything goes. My PC should be able to do whatever I want him to, whenever I want him to. Guidelines like these remind the player that, no, anything should not go with your Paladin if s/he is Lawful Good. These guidelines actually reinforce good roleplaying.I really don't see how it limits roleplaying in any way, shape, or form unless one means that it reminds players that they shouldn't be playing their Lawful Good PC as evil, or playing their Chaotic Evil PC as altruistic (unless there is a significant motivating reason behind it).</blockquote>
