Message: <blockquote data-quote="Felix" data-source="post: 1423418" data-attributes="member: 3929">What are your motivations for imposing these restrictions?Race restrictions I can understand easily: the setting doesn't have half-elemental dragonkin tauric goblins running around so they're not a choice.Alignment restrictions I become a bit wary of, however. One of my DMs has the exact same alignment options available for my group: LN, LG, NG, CG. I think he does this because he wants it to be easy for him to get the group to be cohesive; Good characters will do things for the Good of others, and Lawful people can be ordered by superiors. Likely he has not had good experiences with N and CN characters before. The 2e "insane and madmen" description of CN characters might have something to do with it.But without going into the details, I think N and CN characters can be motivated to do what are seen as heroic acts so long as their motivations are something other than the general welfare... like they need to sacrifice something to save a friend. That isn't Altruism, and a neutral character surely would save a friend.RJKirk, I guess the question is what do you find so disruptive about N and CN characters that you would stop your players from taking them?</blockquote>
