[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6406919, member: 22779"] But, these wars would never be fought by those who register as "good". A good character who imprisons someone, does so with mercy and respect. There can't really be a CG revolutionary overthrow of a LG society. That wouldn't make any sense. The worst thing the CG character is going to do is chafe at the restrictions, but, since those restrictions are objectively good, he won't act against them. Why would he? To do so would actively act in an evil manner. The idea that angels and archons fight wars is pretty far removed from the setting. There is no Blood War between LG and CG after all. The idea that the NG plane becomes a mirror of the NE plane, if that's what Planescape means, pretty much proves how incoherent the setting really is. I guess that's my basic issue with Planescape at the end of day. That I just cannot see how objective alignment, with moral forces being an ontological truth, can possibly result in a setting where people can disagree over the nature of those forces. [/QUOTE]
