Alignment is a combination of two factors: one identifies morality (good, evil, or neutral), and the other describes attitudes toward society and order (lawful, chaotic, or netural). Thus, nine distinct alignments define the possible combinations.These brief summaries of the nine alignments describe the typical behavior of a creature with that alignment. Individuals might vary significantly from that typical behavior, and few people are perfectly and consistently faithful to the precepts of their alignment."Here are the given definitions of the Good alignments, all emphasis in original:"Lawful Good (LG) creatures can be counted on to do the right thing as expected by society.""Neutral Good (NG) folk do the best they can to help others according to their needs.""Chaotic Good (CG) creatures act as their conscience directs, with little regard for what others expect."And for the other two Lawful:"Lawful Neutral (LN) act in accordance with law, tradition, or personal codes.""Lawful Evil (LE) methodically take what they want, within the limits of a code of tradition, loyalty, or order."Definition of Necrotic damage (Player's Basic Rules p 75, emphasis in original): "Necrotic. Necrotic damage, dealt by certain undead and a spell such as chill touch, withers matter and even the soul."You may read the Warlock class description from this image, the <a href="http://media.boingboing.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Players-Handbook-Warlock-2.jpg" target="_blank">free preview of the Warlock</a>.
