The man who is lawful good today could be persuaded to compromise his principles in a small way tomorrow. And in a slightly bigger way the next day. And so on and so on until a year from now, he's a very bitter chaotic neutral.And placing a large amount of treasure in someone's keeping without any method of accounting for it is a very big temptation--the kind that could actually be responsible for luring the individual from lawful goodness.And as others have said, being Lawful Good is not synonymous with being wise, careful, responsible,  or a good steward. I know more than a few decent honorable people who can't be trusted with a credit card and are more than a little gullible. Wise characters should place their money in the hands of men with proven judgement and reliability--not just those who happen to be lawful good.Wise people should also be wary of believing what people say just because they're decent, honorable folks. By all accounts, Neville Chaimberlain was a good man but he was dead wrong about Hitler.</blockquote>
