[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8711880, member: 23751"] I don't care what they meant. If we are talking halflings as written and someone says good without clarifying further, the default assumption is that they are referring to LG. If they meant something different, it's their fault for not clarifying. Not mine for assuming that in a talk about defaults, the default alignment was what was meant by good. After I mentioned it. It actually wasn't. Because the assumption I made about him specifically is that he wasn't running all halflings as one alignment and that he would be okay with villages of halflings that were neutral or even evil, since halfling alignment isn't an absolute. He liked my post that said that. His change to homebrew NG wasn't relevant to my point above, and it showed that even if he is old school with racial alignments, he wasn't treating all halflings has having to be one alignment as a race. LG is just what they are by default in 1e, 2e and 5e. 3e had them as neutral for some reason and I have no idea what 4e did to them. The actual type of good wasn't what was relevant to my point, though. My point was that even as an old school DM with racial alignments, halflings in his game didn't have to be whatever alignment he used for the race. [/QUOTE]
