[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9310032, member: 27385"] I always found the "keeper of balance" definition difficult or odd. It should not be a tally of good deeds and evil deeds and checking today to see what you should be. There is no flipping a coin like Two-Face to see if you are going to kill the prisoner or not. It should also be one of the least taken alignments. I think people take it so they have the out to say that they are acting like their alignment. We have had threads before on alignment or paladins being able to kill babies or such and still be acting on their thin slice of what good means, or good commands from their boss or god. I always looked at true neutral as being more uncaring on stuff around you. Goblins stole the farmer's kid, boy, bad stuff happens. Oh, you want me to go find him and fight goblins, gee that is dangerous, what is in it for me. Sorry, I do not need a bag of turnips and a free night in your barn. You should find another. The alignment does not aid in taking hooks for quests. As part of a party it can be ok if there is reason to tie the PC to another PC and get towed along in some of this. [/QUOTE]
