[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3099790, member: 35788"] Um .. sure. Did I say you couldn't? I was merely referring to a post above that said that most VoP characters are that way because of the numbers, not the RP. I was merely giving a counter example and admitting that such a counter example may be in the minority. As for the rules, exalted characters are good. I wouldn't personally call a super neutral person exalted. Nor would I call a super evil person exalted. If you want to talk about various house rules for these things I would say: 1. I have no problem allowing Poverty to any alignment. If you did, you would need to change some of the mechanics names ... if not a few of the functions. A LN VoP cantidate should not receive Exalted Strike, for example. I would give them something called (for example) Rite Strike: A player receives the same magical enhancements as Exalted strike except that their attacks are considered Lawful, not Good. Etcetera for evil VoP as well as for Chaotic VoP. And so on and so forth. I'd also recommend going through all the exalted feats and changing them to be equitable through all 4 alignments, because it wouldn't be right for a LN VoP to have to select exalted feats. 2. I would also rename champions of the alignments. Super-Good (regardless of LG, NG, or CG) would remain exalted. Super-Lawful (regardless of LG, LN, or LE) might be called Ritualized (or Ordered, or something else...). Super-Evil (regardless of LE, NE, or CE) would most likely be called Vile. Super-Chaotic (regardless of CG, CN, or CE) would likely be called Random (or Unordered, or something else). I would not call anything exalted except one of the 3 good alignments. [/QUOTE]
