[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 3073539, member: 15538"] A sniper could be LG. They might, on occasion, violate the precepts of the LG alignment, but it doesn't mean they automatically go sliding down the path to neutrality, if their options are limited. Military snipers are under orders, and hence, can not just refuse to shoot someone because they personally feel it's unwarranted. There would be tension there. And a military sniper who was LG might desert under certain circumstances, but not most circumstances. Particularly, a soldier who feels the greater good is at stake must be willing to make some immediate concessions. There is a slippery slope there, but just because a LG character shoots another LG character, an enemy scout, under orders doesn't mean they suffer an immediate alignment ding. A CE assassin who gives someone a valuable gift out of gratitude doesn't stop being evil just because he does something nice. Being Good does not automatically mean being angelic. It just means, good, to an extent where you are willing to act on that belief. [/QUOTE]
