All the rest would only happen if he consistently went to the third floor - and even then, only some of those things would occur if he went to the 5th and 3rd floor more or less in equal parts. Presuming the 5th floor is where Joe needs to go to keep his alignment, and the 3rd floor is diametrically opposed to his alignment, he could still go to the 3rd floor. Repeatedly. So long as he ultimately spent more time on the 5th floor. With the exception, of course, of the paladin. Let's say alignment is a job. Then let's say your class is your supervisor. In the case of the paladin, it's a very strict supervisor. If Joe leaves his cubicle on the 5th floor and goes to the 3rd floor, he's fired. That's it. However, he's the only one that bad. Now, to continue with my silly example, lets say his supervisor's a monk. This guy, he's strict, but not so bad. For all this guy cares, Joe can spend his lunch break down on the 3rd floor every single day and even visit on weekends, if he wanted. What's important is that Joe shows up on time on the 5th floor, doesn't leave early, gets all his work done, and doesn't use too many sick days. If Joe can do that, he can keep his job (that is, his alignment). Heck, the 4th and 6th floor also have offices and cubicles that he can get his work done at, so he can go there all he wants, too, as they're just one floor up or down, and still connected to the 5th floor. Sure, the office politics on the 6th floor are a bit vicious and the folk down on the 4th floor are kinda flakey, but so long as that doesn't get in the way of Joe doing his work and showing up on time, both places are just extensions of the 5th floor, anyway, so going there doesn't matter much. So alignment isn't quite so confining, for most, anyway. And hopefully my examples were clear enough even if they're a bit well, silly.</blockquote>
