[QUOTE="ProfessorCirno, post: 4232339, member: 65637"] [i]It's still banditry[/i]. He didn't do guerilla warfare. He didn't do strategic attacks on the Prince's army. He hid in the woods and mugged people. His alignment changed. I'm saying that, due to his actions - mugging rich people and giving money to others - he was chaotic good. Again, he wasn't some lone warrior bravely fighting against all odds. He hid in the woods and mugged people. You haven't answered my point. Defending people is an activity that scores you "good" points. I'm not saying "everyone who defends their family is good." I'm saying the action itself is a good one. You're saying "No, defending people is unaligned unless they're a stranger. There's nothing good about risking your life for someone else." Which is bizarre. I don't care which is more altruistic, I'm saying they're both altruistic to begin with. I have no clue what you're trying to say here, or what it has to do with a comic book. I said: "X people are chaotic good." You said "They aren't all good." I said "Ok, but that works even better - it's a show that chaotic people, irregardless of alignment, can team up." Then you respond with "PUT DOWN THE COMIC BOOK, I just said he isn't good!" Yes, I realize they weren't all good. That has [i]nothing[/i] to do with my point. Being a nice person is expected. Most of modern society is created around "People shouldn't be douchebags." Just because something is expected doesn't mean it's suddenly [i]not good[/i]. And yes, evil people do it. So? Evil people do good things all the time. Good people do evil things all the time. We're [i]mortals[/i]. That's the overall gist from 4e. The deeper you go into evil, the more chaotic you get. The deeper you go into good, the more lawful you get. And your general consensus has been "You can't be chaotic and good." Out of curiosity, for those who say Chaotic Good doesn't exist, where does the American Revolution or the various acts done by the Sons of Liberty fit in? [/QUOTE]
