Message: <blockquote data-quote="Imaro" data-source="post: 6408572" data-attributes="member: 48965">Ok, let's look at what alignment actually is because Law/Good/Evil and Chaos all make up the alignment of the person in question... from 3.5 SRDA creature’s general moral and personal attitudes are represented by its alignment... seems simple enoughSo moral and personal attitudes are a finite quantity (let's say 100%... since you can't have more than 100% of something) expressed broadly in terms of alignment in the game... and if they are defined as totally (100%) good (and if not how can you be absolute good)... how can they also be even partially centered around or concerned with law as well?  The only person who can (theoretically) achieve absolute good is a NG person... since the finite quantity of his moral and personal attitudes are completely centered around being good... not law, not chaos just good.Stepping away from alignment for a moment and using another example it's like claiming your focus on math for your exam is absolute while studying for both a math and english test (even if you're studying more on one than the other) s... it's impossible to be absolutely focused on two different things.  English and math are separate subjects but your focus can only be 100% upon one or the other...EDIT: This also ties into Moorcockian alignment in that extremes of chaos or law make good (and I would argue also evil) impossible. 100% law or order is totally unchanging stagnation and 100% chaos is unknowable constant change.</blockquote>
