    Lawful doesn't matter if the actual actions of the lawmaker can be considered chaotic, it simply matters about whether or not the person following the laws or orders without argument. If a raving madman were to order someone to do something for nonsensical reasons, the actual order could be chaotic. If the person follows the order though without questioning it or defying it, then that person is Lawful.....

    Lawful doesn't have to be following a set of laws defined by a higher power. Any character that follows a set of rules or code, be it legal or personal, is Lawful, because it is a set of rules, (or personal laws if you will), that they follow....

    Fair enough. My point was the quests kind of have various flavors. I did like the alignment chart- like I said, wasn't trying to nitpick- just the evil jobs kinda irked me.

    I do understand what you mean by the whole evil thing. It certainly doesn't feel right to assign warriors of light to evil; however, within their spectrum of light could survive intentions.

    Certainly no ill will towards you on my end. I'm simply enjoying the debate over the character alignment system. It's rare that we can have a discussion on these forums that doesn't instantly delve into bitter arguments or hateful comments without anything to add.....

    I agree. I was surprised with the corrections, but I do agree with many reasonings posted. :--) I appreciate all the conversation and debate
