[QUOTE="HammerMan, post: 8561854, member: 84112"] I know it just says Lawful but I see it as mattering the 2nd part... good means you care for others... so you follow laws and your code until a part of the law would hurt instead of help people... then you push to the good over the law. However when you are good and your personal code (that may be to follow the law or not) conflicts with the good THAT should be a hard choice for you. Neutral means that you will rarely if ever go against laws or your code and the only conflict will be when the laws conflict with your own code... and you will most likely lean more to your code Evil means selfish and out for yourself. You will follow laws and your code (sometimes to the letter avoiding the context if that is better for you on both) until the law or your code doesn't help you... then you are more likely to ditch following the law/code to help yourself... there is NO conflict in you when the law and your code disagree you will almost ALWAYs go with your code... However in my games I always use the 'mostly' and 'on average' assumption with alignment. You may be LG but you can be pushed to do something evil or chaotic... you may be NE but something every once in a while may push you to do something good. No living mortal being with free will and soul will ever be 100% there alignment 100% of the time... it is the defualt for your character not the always, and since the game is almost always about putting stress on the character there could be a dozen 'exception' moment in any given campaign.
