[QUOTE="iwatt, post: 3250366, member: 11085"] So because your character is LN this alignment can't fit? Not all LN are the same. For example, a cleric dedicated to routing out demonic cults. His god given mandate is to hunt down and destroy these evil doers. Since hunting and killing evil-doers is basically what good people do, you'd usually peg him as Good. If he starts to use non-good tactics he'll start slipping. If he mostly does good and every once in awhile he' uses evil, I'd epg him as neutral. It's GM judgement call when he stops been good and when/if he slips into evil. If he's done a lot of good and some evil, I wouldn't peg him as GOOD, but definitely wouldn't switch him into EVIl. So what does that leav: NEUTRAL. Now, about the Law/Chaos angle: he is dedicated singlemindedly to a goal, and all his actions are taken in accordance to the precepts and orders he's been given. That doesn't sound to me like Chaotic. Some will say that if he breaks the law he can't be lawful, but IMO he's only held accountable to what he perceives to be a higher law (his god's command).
