Message: <blockquote data-quote="Trickstergod" data-source="post: 1054787" data-attributes="member: 10825">Of course, it's customary to explain ones position.Anyway, to get away from that, and slip into the more mainstream conversation: I do not believe a player should have to adhere to certain actions. The character should be played as feels appropriate, and not be rigidly bound by alignment restrictions. After all, there's more then nine personalities in the world, so there's a good deal of leeway to be had in interpretating alignment.However, if the personality fits another alignment better (and not just in isolated instances, but over-all), then it's entirely appropriate for the DM to say as much, and state that the alignment will be shifting. For some individuals...this isn't a big deal. For a Monk, however, who starts shifting away from Lawfulness, that becomes a problem. While I don't know if the  Monk is shifting away from the general precepts of Lawfulness on the whole, in this instance, I'd say that he was acting more along the lines of a Neutral Good character. In a very general way, mind you. After all, even a Chaotic Neutral faith has traditions and opinions on morality, that the devout are expected to stick to, yet that faith is still Chaotic (and likely has extremely liberal, loose rules which can be interpreted a number of different ways).Hopefully a more or less cognizant piece of writing, as I'm not entirely cognizant at the moment. A coffee-ing I go!</blockquote>
