[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 4940138, member: 1165"] There's a description there, but I think you missed out the word [b]good[/b]. The book does not have a good description. How does a lawful evil character qualify as trustworthy or honorable? Can I assume they're subservient to the authority of their organized crime group, since they're probably not subservient to the law? (Murder is murder in most cultures.) And my point is that it doesn't. I had a physics teacher in high school who tried to describe the difficulty in teaching magnetism. He said there were three types of learners: visual, auditory and manipulative. It was easy to show diagrams on the mechanics of magnetism, it was easy to give a lecture that students could listen to, but the last group he had a hard time teaching. (You don't learn the nitty gritty about domains by playing with magnets either.) The book doesn't speak to all people. The massive number of alignment threads speaks to that. [/QUOTE]
