[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 7067084, member: 42582"] [MENTION=48965]Imaro[/MENTION], I suppose Grazzt is really CG - it's just that, when he consults his conscience, it tells him to conquer Demogorgon, Orcus, then the Abyss, then the world! Given that the 5e alignment are meant to be mutually exclusive (in that no character can have more than one at a time) that they have to be read as a whole. And given that 5e is meant to be a version of D&D that captures the traditions of the game, I also assume that its alignment labels roughly correspond to what has gone before. The only significant change in 9-point alignment, over the history of the game, is whether truth and honour are part of [I]goodness[/I] (as Gygax wrote) or part of [I]lawfulness[/I] (as 3E has it). The 5e alignment descriptions don't seem to take a stand on this, although one could say the description of LE points in favour of the 3E approach. Personally I prefer Gygax's approach: I think it is more coherent. [/QUOTE]
