[QUOTE="Andor, post: 5858263, member: 1879"] I thought we were discussing the cosmological alignments, and why someone might choose to be True Neutral. Not humans and how they rate on the alignment chart. But yes, most humans will be neutral in the unaligned sense, rather than Aligned. Of Aligned humans True Neutrals may or may not be in the majority based on the campign world history. It is a two-axis system, not a neat set of nine boxes with no overlapping traits. And some aspects have never been well defined. For example a highlander or viking styled character with no conception of or respect for central authority but a strong sense of personal honor and an unbreakable word. Is he Lawful, Chaotic or Neutral? The answer changes with every edition and who you ask. For the majority of people the world would be a better place if the 'balance' was shifted a bit towards law and goodness. Of course Star Wars episodes I-III showed a world were that balance had been towards LG for thousands of years and unviversal forces were acting to bring things back into a balanced alignment through the power of whiny kids and bad writing. So there is usually a come uppance to the desireable imbalance, and that's what Mordenkainen types try to prevent in the first place. [/QUOTE]
