[QUOTE="J-Buzz, post: 1486004, member: 17925"] I don't think the mafia is a good example. The mafia if a small part of a bigger picture. They are following rules that they come up with true, but they are a small percentage of a larger population. However I do agree with the point made that lawful is not following laws or no-one would be lawful (Speeding for example). I think of Lawful and Chaotic as how you approach and solve a problem. Lawful being cut with the grain, solve the problem as most people in that society would. Chaotic being you go against the grain doing somthing different and causing strife (not necessarily in society, could just be in the party). My good evil break down gets simpler (although it makes it hard to play neutral). Good do things for others/against evil. Evil do things for self/against good. There are many motivations for stealing, and depending on where you are and how society depicts the act really depends on what would be considered good, evil, chaotic, or lawful. The Paladin should have been against it, and the rogue should have wanted to do it. Not every party can work together in harmony, that is what makes the game fun. This is just my opionion. However, everyone here is from a different society, and will have their own opionion on this, and all will differ. Alignment questions are the pandoras box of d&d questions...... ;) [/QUOTE]
