Knowing that you can harass your commoners without facing repercussion... yeahGoodness is both a matter of perspective and of superposing greater construct in my worlds. You can have two LG characters going at each other's throats and a LE and LG one get along pretty well. However, there are things a "good" character would not do, like killing innocents for example. For evil people, they don't believe they do *good* things, but rather the *right* things. We've played an evil campaign where our PCs were totally depraved and doing horrible things. They didn't do that because they were har-har-mustache twirling evil, but because they thought (and knew!) their parton deity (who kind of saved their lives as kids) wanted it done. They had their logic for imposing tyranny and slavery and draconic law and sacrificial burning and torture on the citizens. Meanwhile, they totally knew love and loyalty and friendship and even had concepts of "fairness".Oh that's not too hard. My husband loves playing paladins (or concepts that could qualify as "paladin"). His last one was a Paladin of Tyr who was basically a wandering judge who constantly questioned and re-evaluated his faith because his father (who was a very law-abiding judge as well) committed suicide after he made a grave misjudgement. He also played a mock-adin once who was a rogue pretending to be a paladin because these dudes usually kick butt, loot the riches and get swooned by the ladies. He insisted to get payed for his heroic deeds in advance but got disillusioned pretty quickly <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
