[QUOTE="Larrin, post: 5683033, member: 55816"] I've never enforced Alignment when i play, but if a character wants input i ususally say that Good and Evil are the views of mortals, so humans, dwarves and halflings are the most likely to worry about that. Fey races (elves, gnomes, etc) in my mind are less concerned with that and more concerned with wether they make the world a more beautiful place, or a more frightening place and use Seelie vs Unseelie to represent those views (To me, faeries in stories seem to have one or the other as their goal). For the more brutal races (orcs, goblins, minotaurs, some goliaths) I like the idea of strength Vs weakness, wether they believe they should meet conflict with strength (the belligerent or noble Orc), or wether they should avoid it and just try to survive by any means necessary (think cowardly goblin). Law Vs Chaos is optional, but applicable to all depending on whether they have a method/code/law/compulsion to their actions. Immortals (angels, demons, etc) have a creed that dictates their actions and is written by the one that made them, and can include any allignment. Again, i never enforce this (they can write anything on their sheet they want), but its how i motivate my NPC's, and put it out there for the players to ponder. [/QUOTE]
