[QUOTE="tglassy, post: 7581881, member: 6855204"] Can a character be considered Lawful Good and follow a master who is Chaotic Neutral? For example, the character I’m developing grows up an urchin, and is rescued from a very bad life by a “master” who is very much focused on increasing his own wealth, but who recognizes that having loyal servants is to his best interest. So he treats the character well, trains him, and makes rules for him to follow. Not any rules that have to do with society or a nation, but the Master’s own rules, meant to focus on increasing the Master’s profit and wealth, and the rest of the world can go jump in a lake. If the Character decides to continue following this Master, and adheres strictly to those rules, even though he would routinely break the Laws of any land he may be in while he is following his Master’s Orders, would he be considered Lawful? As for Good, I would consider that separate from law, as it denotes that the Character cares for life and would willingly sacrifice himself for someone he thought was innocent or deserved it. He is not evil, and does care about being “moral”, but he also believes his Master is owed his loyalty and therefore obeys him rather than some King’s laws. [/QUOTE]
