[QUOTE="Psionicist, post: 2511469, member: 1874"] Repeat after me: Alignments have never defined a personality. Just because you act without thinking first, like Homer Simpson or Fry in Futurama, doesn't mean you must be chaotic. Just because you love to do the same thing every morning when you wake up, doesn't mean you are lawful. Alignments are very broad. Do you like authority? Then perhaps you are lawful. Does this mean you have to follow the authority? NO! Do you hate the word duty? Then perhaps you are chaotic. Does this mean you will never, ever do anything that is considered a duty somewhere? NO! The thing is, if you want to play a halfling rogue that acts before she thinks, you will probably slap the chaotic alignment on her because you think it fits. They are NOT the same thing though. Honestly, a Great Magical Sword doesn't give a damn if you _follow_ traditions or not, you have to _like_ it to be the kind of guy who can swing it guud, and that's what alignments are for. [/QUOTE]
