Step 6: Description, Pt 2

Alignment

Alignment is fairly simple to understand, and ranges from law to chaos, good to evil.

Lawful Good - This is the "Goody Two-Shoes" of any campaign, always striving to do good and staying within the bounds of the law.

Neutral Good - This is the one who does good, but with only a little concern for the law. They'll do what is right, trying to stay within the law, but if they break a law or two to do it, they don't mind.

Chaotic Good - This is the reformer. They make sure others are good, no matter how it is done. They would be willing to resort to killing government officials to achieve true good in society, but do not normally approve killing without good reason.

Lawful Neutral - They follow the laws and make great judges, as almost all decisions are impartial. They do not do things for "the greater good", but instead for what creates balance between good and evil.

True Neutral - This is the one who lives to live, nothing else. They do whatever it takes to keep things balanced between law and chaos, good and evil.

Chaotic Neutral - This is the crazy hermit who lives in the forest. They do things to do them, with no concern at all for laws, what is good, or what is evil. They won't kill without good reason, nor will they help a wounded person unless they get something out of it. They are a free spirit.

Lawful Evil - This is the bully who breaks no laws, but can manipulate and extort others without concern for their well-being. They'd think nothing of buying things at a store, getting that store to go out of business, then selling the things they bought at a much higher price.

Neutral Evil - This is the one who does evil for selfish reasons. They do whatever they can get away with for their own personal gain.

Chaotic Evil - This is the person who is evil for the sole purpose of being evil. They do things because it hurts others and makes them feel better. They'd kill their own families for a few points of gold.
