[QUOTE="Iceman, post: 444528, member: 6678"] [b]Lawful Good vs Lawful Stupid[/b] I find the comment about lawful stupid interesting. I'm GUESSING it means he does not want you to ignore the actions of others, but at the same time, to not be heavy-handed. Re-read Matt's last big paragraph just above -- he's got the right idea... Any 'servant of good' will defend the helpless and be justifiably (in their own eyes and rhetoric) upset by actions of an evil nature. But a smart one knows that evil exists and cannot be wiped out entirely. He also accepts that others may not see the world the same way he does -- yet. A good speech combines well with timely justice to convince others of your righteousness, and may even sway their hearts. Basically, never give up on being good, doing the morally right thing. Try to avoid being divisive, however, and instead 'love' the sinner (or at least enter into some healthy debate about the reasons for his or her behavior). And regarding how to 'become aware' of the other character, your best bet might be a biased interpretation of his actions. What does that mean? It means view what he says and does from the prospective of already being miffed about the orc. As an anaolgy, the rogue in our last campaign was always being eyed suspiciously when he reported how much good and stuff he found inside the chest or on the bad guy or whatever. The player was a bit peeved by this because he felt we were using player-knowledge. But I was always acting from the standpoint of our first encounter with the character -- we saved his butt from the town guard who were after him for theft. Since he always went straight for the goodies before anyone else, it kept that impression in my character's mind. Oh, and I always thought Ep. IV & V Princess Leia was LG. :) [/QUOTE]
