[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8921112, member: 6801845"] I agree. Alignment is just a tool for me to use as I see fit. It's useful for a quick 10,000 foot view of a monster's or NPC's thought process and how they're going to react. Honor a deal? Someone that's lawful will. Someone chaotic will just shrug and say "I lied". A devil will abide by the contract, although they may point out that you violated subcontract D in subsection 32 because they're evil and you didn't put your initial on it the line indicated. In addition, despite all the "what-about-isms" and advanced philosophies that always come up, most people are in the same general ballpark of what alignment means with people I actually play with. But as long as I use it consistently when I run monsters, as one aspect of that monster? I don't see an issue with it. We don't have to agree 100%, although in experience in real life I've agreed 80% which is close enough. [/QUOTE]
