[QUOTE="LuYangShih, post: 1121942, member: 10414"] Inaction can be just as wicked as action. Letting someone die when you can save them, at little to no risk to yourself, is evil, by the D&D definitions of morality. Wizardru: You seem to be misinterpeting my comments. CN characters would save someone if they took little to no risk by doing so, after all, why not? I am not making an argument that CN=CG. A CG character would risk their lives to save other people, while a CN would not. Han Solo is the perfect example of a CN character in this regard. Unless they have a personal reason to take risks to save others, they will not get involved. However, they will help other people as long as they aren't really taking a great risk in doing so, or if they are personally involved with them. Getting back to the original topic, I still do not think the BoEF description of a Lawful Good characters stance on sexuality comes even close to what it should be. The Good expression of sexuality would be love, yet that is not even mentioned. A Lawful character would seek a long term or structured relationship, and again this is not even mentioned. If LG is as other people in this thread have argued, what, may I ask, is the difference between LG and N? Oh, and as for medieval Kings, I would classify the entire feudal system of the Dark Ages as being LE, and almost every single ruler from that period I have read of would fall under an evil alignment, as well. So I certainly do not agree that LG characters would follow such behavioral patterns. [/QUOTE]
