[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7956218, member: 2629"] On the face I agree, but there are ways to do it that suit LE. LE can be seen as willing to do anything for their cause, but being unflinchingly loyal to that cause. While we often assume that the thing a cleric is loyal above all else to is their God, that does not need to be the case. The worship of the God could be a means to their end. That type of conflict, between the tenets of their worship and the evil force to which they have ultimate loyalty, can create interesting role playing opportunities. My next queued up character is kind of the opposite of this thread - a Tiefling Ranger that worships Asmodeus. And is Lawful Good. She'll see Asmodeus' fall as a necessary evil and seek to redeem Asmodeus, Glasya and al her ancestors in the eyes of the world by proving that their evil is necessary and serves the greater good. I feel like handing that premise to a DM is a gold mine. I just need to wait for an opportunity with a DM that agrees. [/QUOTE]
