[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8533703, member: 23751"] I've yet to see anyone actually disallow that alignment. What people here mean when they say "No CN" is "I'm banning douches that use CN as an excuse to be a douche." Virtually every time someone says that, it's followed with, "The player used it as an excuse to..." The alignment itself is fine if played appropriately. That's an abuse of DM authority. Full stop. A code isn't enough on its own to shift alignment if the DM is adhering to RAW. If he ignores the rest of RAW and simply uses the portion allowing alignment change out of context(abuse of authority), he can do as you say. Yes. It does not say that it ignores the context of alignment. You are allowed to play alignment as non-prescriptive per RAW and still be playing LN, so long as the majority of what you do is LN. The Balance card itself says it. That's actually ideal. It would take very little exp to go to 1st level and you'd be only a little weaker than the level 1 PCs. [/QUOTE]
