[QUOTE="-Avalon-, post: 4648803, member: 66363"] I dunno... I kinda liked the alignment system, but wish that people would understand that it was just guidelines, and also that it was purely based on personal bias and perception... The LG Knight in Shining Armor, is great and wonderful and save lil kids and slays dragons and drow and all those right? But from the drow and dragon perspective... wouldn't he be CE? The drow champion of Llolth would be CE in most humans' eyes, but to Drow, he abides by the patterns and structures of Llolth's tenants and the "laws" of his city... so LG to drow? But then CE to most Humans? That CG ranger someone mentioned... the reason Robin Hood was CG is because the current reigning rule was Prince John, whose laws were against the fibers of his being... so in that system, he was chaotic (not following the reigning ruler's laws) and good (because he was against the tyranny of Prince John, and helping the innocent citizens)... That same personality under King Richard (who had much more good-aligned laws in Robin Hood's perspective), obeyed the law and still acted for the good of the people around him... I think Alignment should be based on concepts such as race or deity or something else... not based on a strict I am GOOD! According to who? [/QUOTE]
