Neutral characters can't be motivated except when the Player feels like it. Don't want to let the DM have it easy -- make him hook your character specifically. (B) The Player lacks the ability to play a heroic character. He doesn't trust the DM to not constantly put him in moral minefields.I think it is ironic for a Player to complain about being forced to play a certain kind of character -- be it alignment, class, race, or motivation. A good Player should be able to play any character, without whining to the DM about restrictions or guidelines or directions.You think *every* D&D campaign should be left wide open for whatever *you* the Player wants to play? Some campaigns can work that way, but some work better with an all Good group of adventurers.I take it as a sign of a weak or problematic Player if my rule of No Evil PCs is questioned or argued. And if a DM says he wants a campaign of all Good PCs, I'd happily and eagerly play along.Quasqueton</blockquote>
