It is usually easy to understand law vs. chaos. But, when you mix them together, people sometimes get confused.I would have agreed with Lord Ben's DM and Artoomis. Ambush is not an honorable or lawful action for a Lawful Good character. It could, however, be a totally lawful action for a Lawful Evil character. "We always ambush our enemies. That's how we have always done it. It's a tradition." Extremely lawful. Just evil as well.However, it is sometimes difficult to see that an action can be lawful for a Lawful Evil character, but not for a Lawful Good character.Just like killing a sleeping opponent is not a neutral action. Chaotic Neutral does not mean that you delve heavily into evil or good, just because your actions are random. You cannot just ignore the neutral portion of Chaotic Neutral because it is expedient. The character is neither good, nor evil. Hence, he should not act in those manners, especially in the extreme.But, it's sometimes hard to see this.</blockquote>
