[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9509058, member: 27385"] I would be careful with your idea of each alignment and the players ideas. I mean, take Darth Vader. Most people think he would be LE since he has his code but also does evil things like choke generals without going through the court marshal system- so maybe he is more CE and just likes killing people. Did Anakin start off as LE or was young padawan more LN since he had dark thoughts and occasional pushbacks against the structure- so maybe he is more CN. Eventually he gave himself over to the dark side, but eventually he redeemed himself and became a benevolent ghost who seems more LG/NG something. Few players are going to tell the DM that since you did not let me find this McGuffin to save my NPC wife, I'm going to become evil now and work with the bad guys. Can we play another campaign where I play the secret son of this guy who will eventually save him from evil. I can picture some posters here already thinking that Vader is another alignment or Anakin is something else, or ghosts cannot be good. Now what would your players feel if you chose for them?
