[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5683981, member: 19675"] Agreed- and I'll say that previous editions DID make this clearer. There is talk in one of the earlier books about "tendencies", as in "LG with Neutral tendencies" or "CG with Lawful tendencies" to illustrate nuances within the system. But yeah- that DM would be way off. At least one system noted that a CG character would have a personal code of conduct- something this hypothetical DM would call Lawful- that they value above the rules of society. They are generally law abiding except where it conflicts with their personal code, making them individualists. In another section, it was noted that a paladin might exhibit lawbreaking behavior if, for instance, they were fighting slavery- and I do mean FIGHTING- but that would not be chaotic but good. More likely, though, he would opt not to own slaves, or would buy them and free them. Exactly. [/QUOTE]
