[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6886799, member: 6701872"] While I do not find referencing older edition's definitions of alignments to be at all relevant to discussion of how things do/don't shake out in the current edition, and am a player of a character with a code of behavior he adheres to and a chaotic good alignment (which is, in my opinion, within the definition of chaotic good found in the 5th edition rules because said code was determined by the character's own conscience and with little regard to what others expect), I agree with your conclusion that the character of Drizzt falls within the realm of what 5th edition states of Lawful alignments. Of course, I am also fairly certain that I could explain any particular behavior of Drizzt as being evidence of any particular alignment, given their generally nebulous definitions - for example, his showing no mercy to goblins and orcs shows that he is clearly Lawful Good because society views the killing of goblins and orcs as the "right thing" to do (with Lawful Good, in 5th edition, only saying that the creature can be counted on to do the right thing as expected by society).
