[QUOTE="JacksonTT, post: 2558410"] I agree and disagree with you, Fen. I agree that extraplanar creatures and the like from those planes are naturally instilled with a certain alignment. But I won't go so far as to say you can't at all play them differently. Even if you read certain publications from the D&D game itself, even the demon lord Grazz't or however you spell it borders on Lawful, and he's a Tanar'ri. But I also agree with you in that playing one of these creatures with a different alignment is going to be an abomination to other creatures of that type, and even completely different creatures. Really, people can PLAY whatever they want to play. They just need to ready for other CHARACTERS to react in a natural way, i.e. completely disbelieving a "good" demon, or something like that, and also, other demons being disgusted with them and even seeking their death. I see a lot of people who basically seem to say, "oh, I know, let me play this kind of character in a fundamentally and radically different manner, just to be different and weird," and then get mad when people treat them in character as something fundamentally and radically wrong and weird. Basically, play whatever you want to play, but be ready for characters to treat you accordingly. [/QUOTE]
