[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6886327, member: 4937"] More so than lowkey13 (whose analysis of this I nonetheless respect), this part of the story suggests strong Chaotic, even to the point of archetypal Chaotic. 1) Something snaps inside, suggesting he is primarily motivated internally and by his feelings, rather than by reflection and council. 2) He takes the burden on himself. He didn't come to this life because someone chose him for it. 3) Iconically as a symbol of that, he has forged his own weapons and armor. That is extremely powerful symbolism, the chaotic equivalent of receiving a public Ordination or Confirmation from a powerful being, denoting the blacksmith as their chosen champion. In my campaign, something like that would create an immediate note behind my DM screen - "Nascent legacy items. Has a god of Chaotic Good blessed this act, or has the PC inadvertently bound a part of his soul to the items? Work this into the plot." So, I'd tend to accept this as strongly trending toward CG, with some caveats that there is still plenty of unworked out potential contradictions and conflicts. [/QUOTE]
