[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 2761290, member: 35788"] In a way, this is a good summation too. Think about your typical NG character. Occasionally maybe there a bit CG at times. Then maybe in a different circumstance they come across as borderline LG. But for the most part they are NG. Now, an exhalted charter may well have days where their alignment strays - but an Exhalted NG may stray into Exalted LG or Exhalted CG or maybe (rarely) into just plain old NG ... but the point is that if they do stray they are straying into another Good alignment. Another way of putting it. You and I may be honest and good people - but occasionally we have bad days. We have days where we might come off vindictive, angry, or maybe even hateful. But for the most part we're neutral or good. On a bad day, an exhalted character is just as good as we are on our best days! I know this isn't totally by the book, bt in my mind I almost use the following alignment diagram: [Code] ELG ENG ECG LG NG CG LN TN CN LE NE CE VLE VNE VCE[/Code] Where E=Exhalted and V=Vile On a side note ... I've been waiting for the companion books called "Book of Ordered Deeds" and "Book of Random Deeds" to come out. [BoOD and BoRD, respectively! :) ] Basically, the same things as the BoED and the BoVD except for Lawful and Chaotic. To further complicate matters ... that would make this really cool alignment tree: :heh: ;) [Code] OELG ELG ENG ECG RECG OLG LG NG CG RCG OLN LN TN CN RCN OLE LE NE CE RCE OVLE VLE VNE VCE RVCE[/Code] O=Ordered, E=Exhalted, R=Random, V=Vile Wouldn't [I]that[/I] be a fun system to try and use! :heh: We'd need a Myers-Briggs in the PHB alone! ;) [/QUOTE]
