Favorite Alignment in DnD and why.

kp91

Chaotic Neutral
I do whatever I want, whenever I want. Deal with it!

Neutral Evil
I do what I want because I want to, and I don't care much for the suffering of others in order to complete my goal.

My alignment:

probabl Lawful Neutral, or Chaotic Neutral with lawful tendencies.

Chaotic Good<-Goverments should be afraid of their people.

Seems to give me the most freedom. My second favorite would be lawful evil, it's fun being evil when no one knows.

Neutral Good.
Just like myself, I feel that some laws are made for the stupid and therefore don't apply to me. However, I wouldn't do anything 'bad' (see the one discussion in the other thread for my views of good and evil) because I'm not that type of guy and I do things that are 'good'. ^_^

My favorite to play is Lawful Evil, for the same reason as Jmantyk.

My alignment is probably just straight Neutral. You never know what I'm going to do.

Lawful Evil, for certain. Because I like the D&D devils, and think that Lawful Evil is a fun alignment to roleplay.

True Neutral.

My system of ethics is both full of good traits and rheprehensible ones, and I doubt the ability of govenments to wrangle people, but still see them as neccesary.

In other words, I'm to wishy-washy for any solid alignment, and it reflects in my roleplaying.

Lawful Good (NOT lawful stupid) - I am the epitome of all that is good and honorable. Everyone trusts me because they would never believe I'd do anything dishonorable - and I wouldn't.

That doesn't mean that I can't stand up to unjust governments etc., as any system of law that doesn't promote the good of all is naught but a farce.

Sweetest example of Lawful Good - Batman

Then why does he work with/uphold the law? He never just pounds on some mob boss he knows is guilty but he has absolutely no proof. But anyway - his honor code (no killing/no guns) qualifies him as lawful more than anything.

Batman follows most of that - but read lawful good - all of that. Ever seen Batman Begins? - he refused to kill the murderer because the man hadn't been tried in a court yet - shows respect for the law. This of course ignores crazy psyco 80's Batman.

Rember - lawful alignment doesn't mean you follow every law to the letter - it means your world-view is more organized - less random etc. Now - Batman isn't up to the level of Paladin lawful good - that would be Superman.

Exactly, so I say he is Neutral Good then.

Feh. Does it matter what Batman has for alignment? Most people (both fiction and other) tend to be between alignments, so the alignment blocks there is aren't really that good. Though, you could use them as guidelines, and give the character a point in chaotic for every chaotic deed, etc. In the end you'll get the characters true alignment.

Somebody on the GiTP boards made an Advanced Alignment System that seems to work pretty well. Too bad it never really caught on.

Alignment are quite useless from my point of view.
I mean, i found silly to have a tag that says how you have to behave, you just play your char as you like: if you want to play someone nice on the surface but with an insane mind you can do it as you please, as well as if you want to play THE nice guy.
Alignments are just restrictives, and things like the dedect evil or spells like those can just be slightly changed and become something like "protection from harm" "detect hostility"... something like that...

P.S. i know this is quite OT and i ask for apologies, but i really couldn't help it...

Nothing like a Chaos berserker running down the streets Eh? Very Happy

Though I doubt anyone else here has even seen it, but Hackmaster actually had a rather impressive numerical alignment system and wheel even with rules for sliding further and further from one alignment to another or multiple others. While the majority of the system was good ol' tongue in cheek fun but there were a few gems worth using in my opinion. And the alignment system is useful for certain classes in D&D such as the paladin; after all, their role is essentially that of combative zealots. It's really not much of a stretch for some to slowly become inquisitorial and paranoid rather than a sudden drastic change and deciding you're gonna dedicate your life to evil =P.
