[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 2339066, member: 22779"] WHile that is certainly true, as I said before, alignment should at the very least attempt to accurately describe a character's moral and ethical outlook. A character which consistently ignores his alignment in favor of particular actions should not be that alignment. For example, a CG rogue who steals all the time to line his own pockets is NOT good. At best he's CN, and possibly CE. Stealing is considered a morally evil act generally, particularly when the motivation is simple greed. While, yes, characters generally can get away with straying from their alignment from time to time, it should be a major thing for the character and something he or she feels very bad about afterwards. Just as a moral person who lapses and does something evil feels guilty. Consistently ignoring your alignment should result in an alignment change. [/QUOTE]
