[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8030112, member: 87792"] OK. As I see the alignment system: [B]LG:[/B] If a child needs to steal a loaf of bread to eat the problem is the law. The law needs fixing. Try to fix it - but in the mean time pay for the bread - and for a dozen other loaves for urchins. And try to change the law to create an effective welfare state. [B]NG:[/B] The first concern is to increase wellbeing and prevent harm. Let the kid go, possibly buy a loaf and don't haggle hard. [B]CG:[/B] The primary concern is that the kid gets to eat. Let the kid go, creating a distraction if necessary. Don't turn him in - ACAB. [B]LN:[/B] The priority is to uphold the law. Stop the child as long as you can do it without breaking the law yourself or threatening to seriously injure the child. [B]TN:[/B] Not my loaf, not my urchin, not my business. [B]CN:[/B] Cause confusion that will help the kid get away. It's a good excuse. [B]LE:[/B] Stop the child by any legal means necessary. Make sure he is turned over to the cops - they know what to do with this sort of kid. [B]NE:[/B] Use the urchin as a distraction to rob the bread merchant. After all the kid doesn't have anything worth stealing. [B]CE: [/B]How can this be escalated to leave someone dead? Throwing a warhammer at a kid's legs comes under the LE heading - possibly moved to LN by checking with the DM that it wouldn't harm the kid. [/QUOTE]
