How you act, not what you do. Having a “cause” does not define your alignment, your alignment will simply direct how you further that cause. Each humanoid race allows certain standard alignments. There is a chance during character creation that you may be allowed to pick a non-standard alignment, but you will be restricted in your choices for alignment by what race you choose.

He is hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. If simply out for whatever he can get, he is ruthless and brutal. If he is committed to the spread of evil and chaos, he is even worse. Thankfully, his plans are haphazard, and any groups he joins or forms are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can only be made to work together by… text/html 2023-04-30T18:41:05+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://sunderingshadows.com/doku.php?id=helpfiles:alignment:chaotic_good&rev=1682880065&do=diff Chaotic Good - The Rebel A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society.

He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. The chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy.

He cares about tradition, loyalty, and order, but not about freedom, dignity, or life. He plays by the rules, but without mercy or compassion. He is comfortable in a hierarchy and would like to rule, but he is willing to serve. He condemns others not according to their actions but according to race, homeland, or social rank.

A character of this alignment acts as a good person is expected or required to act. She combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. She tells the truth, keeps her word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. text/html 2023-04-30T18:41:05+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://sunderingshadows.com/doku.php?id=helpfiles:alignment:lawful_neutral&rev=1682880065&do=diff Lawful Neutral - Judge A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code directs her.

She is out for herself, pure and simple. She sheds no tears for those she kills, whether for profit, sport, or convenience. She has no love of order and holds no illusion that following laws, traditions or codes would make her any better or more noble.

She doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most neutrality is a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil. After all, she would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, she's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. A wiza…
