But I don't make the my Lawful Cleric necessarily the LG do-gooder type, as he's an evangelical priest of his god and will eliminate the followers of chaos quite happily if they don't take the chance to see the error of their ways.With the literary influences on D&D, there are a mixture of amoral and highly moral characters, in the more amoral camp: Fafhard and the Grey Mouser; Cudgel from the Dying Earth; Conan, with the Tolkien and Arthurian influences pointing towards the Knights in shining armour.</blockquote>
