[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5751224, member: 22779"] Well, other than the fact that his portrayal is actually contradicted by the alignment [u]he chose[/u] for that character. Yup, his portrayal was perfectly good for a lawful character. Other than the fact that alignment in 3e D&D (and previous editions) has a concrete, mechanical effect? How should I have his character interact with a Dispel Chaos spell? Sigh. Why am I doing it at all? Do you honestly believe that an 8 Int character should act as intelligently as an 18 Int character? All the time? Because that's what it comes down to. If you honestly believe that the stats don't matter at all, can the DM do the same? Can the DM play the zombies to the best of his abilities, not what he judges the zombies capable of? How about an ooze that moves to flank, avoids being flanked, works in cooperation with other creatures and so on? [/QUOTE]
