[QUOTE="everchanging02, post: 754753, member: 10834"] Okay, this has probably been discussed to death, but I was thinking about it and became curious, so I decided I'd give a post. If it is a repeat, please feel free to point me to the thread and I'll have my time in reading it. I apologize in advance for my being unaware. The main idea of this is, what are your takes on alignments? What are the default tendancies of an alignment? What, to you, describes an alignment? How do you tend to portray alignments? I'm not asking to be pointed to the D&D PHB or WotC's site, I'm just curious as to how players and DMs use alignments. For example: You're a Paladin. Do you play the Lawful Stupid Paladin, the Stupid Good Paladin, the just plain Stupid Paladin, or the truely Lawful Good Paladin? And, for that matter, what do you define as Lawful Good? To start the ball rolling, I'll give my idea of the Lawful Good Paladin: (S)he does not go out and Detect Evil everything (s)he meets, slaying anything that even remotely pings as evil (for, IMO, this is more a Chaotic tendancy). But rather (s)he notes what beings should be watched and only attacks them if they break his/her tennates/beliefs in indesputably evil actions. This is more a DragonStar Paladin (in my understanding) and probably rolls over from the one I was able to play (though that's a completely different story and I don't want to babble any further). Again, sorry if this has already been posted/discussed, and please point me to the thread, if it has and if you could. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
