[QUOTE="(contact), post: 728928, member: 41"] You know, for all intents and purposes we play an alignment-less game, and while we love the FRCS, the whole rest of the setting has gone by the wayside-- neither of us read the novels, and we never really played the 2e version . . . ----- So is Taran evil or good? It's a challenging question, and I could make a case for either alignment! Is he good? Well, he kills a *lot* of Evil stuff, shows signs of sincere familial affection, and has given his treasure away to NPCs that touch his heart strings. But on the other hand, he revels in slaughter and mayhem like any good CE would, and is extremely callous about loss of sentient life. Contrasting that Chaotic flavor, he demands the sort of organization from his adventuring buddies and underlings that you'd associate with a Lawful character. . . We would have axed alignment alltogether, except so many of the D&D mechanics are dependant on it. So you read these characters' alignment as carrying the disclaimer "For the purposes of spells spell-like effects, and planar travel only". [/QUOTE]
