[QUOTE="Clavis, post: 4229724, member: 31898"] Whenever discussions of alignment break out, I try to remember what the alignment seem to actually mean in play. After all, D&D is really just a game about killing things and taking their stuff. The only Alignment difference that matters is [I]why[/I] a character kills things and takes their stuff. Chaotic Evil: "It doesn't matter who you are, what you do, or what you say; I'm going to kill you and take your stuff." Neutral Evil: "I'm going to kill you and take your stuff, unless you give me a good reason not to." Lawful Evil: "Serve me, or I'm going to kill you and take your stuff." Chaotic Neutral: "I might or might not kill you, but I'm taking your stuff." Neutral: "Give me your stuff, and nobody gets hurt." Lawful Neutral: "By any objective standard you don't deserve to keep your stuff." Chaotic Good: "I have come to liberate you from your stuff!" Neutral Good: "I'm going to use your stuff to benefit everybody." Lawful Good: "In the name of the King, I am confiscating your ill-gotten stuff." Works for me. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
