[QUOTE="Kerrz, post: 2433710, member: 22914"] Actually in Eberron, alignment does not dictate actions. It's right up there in the start, saying that alignment is essentially bunk. For example, Kaius III, Vampire and lord of Karrnath is LE. He is also a great proponent of peace in the realms, and is trying to redeem himself from his unwanted vampirism. He is LE because he is a vampire and must drink blood to survive, not because of how he acts as a person or whatnot. On the other hand, the greatest paladin of the Silver Flame will be LG, but he might kill Goblin Babies and think himself doing great good. He is LG because he is a paladin and must follow a moral code. However, his moral code is questionable. The actions dictate alignment, but the alignment does not dictate the actions. What you choose to do changes who you are, but who you have been up to a point does not limit you from changing. (It's alot of ambiguity. That's what morality is about.) [/QUOTE]
