[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 7782651, member: 4534"] It is interesting how alignment comes up in games. I was playing a LG paladin in a game and another was a CG bard. We came across a town where most of the population had fled or were captured by another force. The bard decided to help himself to to some chainmail we found in someone's home which had only been abandoned for a day or two at most. My character argued that he was stealing, his character argued that the place was abandoned and the owner forfeited any right to it, and we went round and round like this for a few minutes. I let it go for the sake of maintaining a pleasant atmosphere in the game but for me it does illustrate how differently people interpret alignment. I wouldn't have a CG character of mine take the chainmail unless there was an immediate need for it. i.e. An emergency situation of some kind. But "I'm just playing my character" wasn't a good enough reason for me to be disruptive. I know people often complain about paladins being Lawful Stupid and that's certainly true at times. On the other hand I've seen many groups treat the paladin as if he's an utter moron and try to engage in thievery, torture, or murder right under his nose. [/QUOTE]
