[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3325272, member: 29014"] Yeah, that specific event didn't happen to me (though I read it online), but similar things do happen sometimes. In D&D terms...hmm, any Law/Chaos from the act would depend on the motivation behind it, I think. Definitely non-good though. In real life, to me, suicide is the ultimately existentitally indefensible act--murder can be defended (if the person you murder was a psychotic killer bent on your destruction and your families, etc, and you do it in self-defense), but suicide (nonsacrificial suicide because of depression, etc) cannot. It's a grim topic, though--let's not dwell on it too much. I think Rhaka is doing an excellent job of keeping Exalted and following her Vow. If I had to peg her alignment as what I see as closest, she would keep the VoP and slide over to [I]Lawful[/I] Good [Exalted]. Of course, then she'd lose all Druid powers :o. Frankly, though, she hasn't done enough to force an alignment shift yet (though if you play her consistently, she would eventually), and even then, it wouldn't be away from [Exalted]. Yeah, if all people aren't all having fun, the game might as well stop (that's my opinion anyway). There's no sense in anyone playing and not having fun. So if you'd rather roll up a new character, we can work something out (it would be easy enough to retcon--based on what kind of character you make, maybe they stayed outside with Rhaka, maybe they were tied up and ready for sacrifice with Dhistan, etc).
