[QUOTE="Maidhc O Casain, post: 3835674, member: 29558"] Now, [I]that[/I] is a good question! I did completely forget about the alignment restrictions on Rogues, and was just going for the alignment it seemed to me was closest to her personality. Let me just 'think outloud' about her personality/alignment: Kat is a very loyal member of her family, in particular the 'intelligence gathering' branch. Within that family there is a heirarchy and a set of rules (largely unformalized, but strict nontheless), which she follows to the T. That's what I was thinking of in terms of lawful, and I wasn't thinking of her in terms of a cat-burglar so much as an intelligence gatherer. However, while she is a member of the Church of the Light she is remarkably tolerant of those of other beliefs (even other races), so she doesn't really follow those laws. And while she's not designed to be a burglar, I can't see her refusing to burgle if it was necessary and in line with her current mission (either for her family or for the military she's in). Definitely not for personal gain, though. So, I guess this is one you could philosophize to death. Is she lawful because she follows those laws made by those she recognizes as authorities and picks and chooses otherwise (as we all do, to some extent), or is she more Neutral because she 'picks and chooses' which laws she follows? Any ideas? I kind of like the idea of a Lawful rogue, but am perfectly willing to go with Neutral Good instead. [/QUOTE]
