[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7815271, member: 6895991"] We need some alignment archetypes and then we may see better what society they would have if they have one. Philantroph: any good but preferable lawful good Rule fetishist: any lawful Anarchist: any chaotic preferable chaotic neutral Criminal: any non lawful (except Mafiosi or the like which could be lawful evil), most likely evil. But that one is already tough, is a criminal in an state with unjust laws evil or nonlawful or not? So where do we put the baseline? Jesus was perfectly lawful good for most people. Otoh for the romans he was an anarchist aka chaotic. So some more easy cases: Psychopath: definitely chaotic evil, will psychopathic behavior combined with otheer evil always result in chaotic evil? I would say yes. Tyrant: mostly neutral evil, could be lawful evil Normal citizens in a civilized land (not the crazies): Mostly LN LG NG N CG Crazies: CN yes also mentally challenged would fall into this chategorie although for them their behaviour might not be a choice. I still got problem who will be true neutral? Eventually only animals or other beings who cannot comprehend morale. So for me Lawful evil, true neutral and chaotic good are most hard to come up with examples. [/QUOTE]
