[QUOTE="Trickstergod, post: 1766824, member: 10825"] And are also exempt from standard alignment classification due to their inability to act beyond instinct and emotion, for the most part, due to their intelligence. A number of animals also engage in forms of rape, cannibalism, infanticide and other atrocities that would peg a human as being evil. With that said, I throw my lot in with the "the fighter's action was chaotic." [i]Especially[/i] for killing the pedophile in a nation that would have done that to the pedophile in the first place. Lawfulness doesn't always mean law-abiding in the alignment sense of it, but agreeing with a local law yet believing that you as the individual are more capable of seeing it through rather then trusting to the authorities seeing it out? Definitely chaotic. I also disagree with the general notion that a chaotic individual will necessary have an inconsistent personal code; chaotic good characters, for example, will consistently strive to do the right thing. The chaotic individual merely trusts to his own decision making over others. My own remarks aren't the most in-depth but, then again, a number of other people have already quite eloquently written their thoughts out on the matter in a way that agrees with my own, so no need to drone on overly much beyond my stating that I agree with those who support the act as being chaotic.
