Before it was, "because of your actions you have been determined to be, NE, so you go to this plane and are allies with this, blah, blah, blah". Now with how I have read the 4e alignment it is much more about how the individual person has developed this personal view of the world and why they act this way.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A Chaotic Evil person in my eyes, acts out in instinctual, primal manner to something they fear or detest. They act because of this hatred, fear or detest in a way that is detrimental to the subject. Thus why things like Orcs or Demons are Chaotic Evil. You could even have a Paladin serving a "good god" and be Chaotic Evil, because he instinctual fear and detests certain beings like say Tieflings and would immediately wish their demise. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A plain Evil character knows that what they are doing is for the betterment of themselves at the cost of others. Thus why things like Devils are just Evil since they know what their doing is to get ahead at the cost of those other Devils. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">While with Lawful Good they believe that by following a strict code of laws set by either themselves or an outside force they are bettering themselves and others. Thus you can have your classic Lawful Good Paladin. BUT! You could also have a tyrannical evil king who believes his laws will help his people, even if they are cruel and perverse. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Just plain good, is when simply wishes to help himself and the world at large, not because of any strict law or code they follow but because they feel that is the proper course of action. Now like with my previous examples what that person identifies as good can change. What sets it apart from Evil is they truly believe what their doing also benefits others. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Unaligned are simply those who are well unaligned. They have no wish to better themselves or others beyond their immediate concerns or to better their position at the expense of others like Evil. Nor do they have a strict code they follow or an instinctual sense that their controlled by. They simply exist to live through life as best they can.</li> </ul></blockquote>
