[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 2044537, member: 2013"] From the first post... Visiting a brothel - chaotic (hedonistic, not respectful of tradition), evil (prostitution does not respect human dignity) Prayer - good (active devotion to good) Associating with Madam Catherine - violation of a paladin's code (associating with one who is engaged in prostitution and thereby oppression and thereby evil acts) Heals the girls - good (note: it could be argued that hisability to do this is due only to writer fiat; if he's not a paladin, he can't heal) [i]Paying to help "get the girls out" - good (though it is not made clear why he is paying until later; with just the first post, we might assume it is giving money to those who will use it for evil purposes - by the first post, impossible to tell)[/i] Heavy carousing - chaotic (not respectful of tradition) Belching, cursing, scratching himself - chaotic (lack of discipline) Not respectful to representative of his order - chaotic "I fight the fight because it should be fought" - good (active devotion to good) "I've earned (indulging myself) and if you don't (think so) you can just go **** yourself" - chaotic (values individual freedom, concerned about being rewarded for his efforts) The tally: 0 lawful acts 5 chaotic acts 4 good acts (though one is ambiguous without later clarification and one is by writer fiat) 1 evil act 1 possible association that might violate the paladin's code I see a chaotic good character in the first post (viewed only on its own). In fact, the tendency towards chaos is far more clearly defined than the tendency towards good (since half of the good acts are ambiguous or possible writer's fiat), and there is also (to my mind) an evil act in there as well, making the tendency toward good less well-defined. I see [b]no[/b] tendency towards lawfulness (by the RAW); all of his actions that can be identified along the law-chaos axis by the RAW are chaotic. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, etc. I say he's Chaotic Good with neutral tendencies along the good axis. --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
