[QUOTE="Winterthorn, post: 6601868, member: 1702"] Oath of Devotion: I think LG fits best. LN and NG are possible. Devotion implies loyalty and commitment and I don't see chaotic personalities sticking to their promises. Oath of (the) Ancients: begs the question who the Ancients are - deities or entities of all alignments? A full pantheon? Does it beg a balanced view? Perhaps LN fits best, then TN, followed by LG or LE at the extremes... Oath of Vengeance: I find this difficult, because I don't see mercy in such an oath, and mercy is really a quality unique to goodness. In fact vengeance seems rooted in something very emotional and personal at the risk of throwing away any sense of objective fairness or justice. So LN and LE fit well, and NE fits too. I've avoided the chaotics because I don't see oath/pledge/vow making as something a chaotic personality would stick to, let alone respect if they were evil. Ultimately I think its best to follow our intuition when it comes to alignments for these Oaths; "best fit" is somewhat subjective. [/QUOTE]
