[QUOTE="Rawion, post: 4947678, member: 85615"] I actually really enjoy the alignment aspect of character creation if only because it is an interesting philosophy study. There in the book is presented all sorts of food for thought.e.g. How can someone actually justify murder for profit? I liked it not so much for the questions it answered but for the questions it revealed. It presented an oportunity to think from another perdpective. It all depends on what the character wants. If they want to help OTHERS then they would learn towards good. If they want to help SELF, then they would lean towards neutral or evil. If they are willing to "throw others under the bus" for their own gain, then they are evil. If they are not willing to demean others for gain then they are neutral. Just because they dont kill people does'nt mean that they are'nt evil. It just means that it does'nt serve their interest. It is also interesting to try to see were you personally fit on the chart. Once again not as a labeling tool but as a introspection tool. Also alignment is seperate from politics. you can have a CG tree hugger or a CG art-lover or a CG government-hater. Just because they focus on diff. aspects of life does'nt affect their alignment. [/QUOTE]
