Neutral Good
A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. The common phrase for neutral good is "true good." Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias toward or against order.
i love how we just repped each other almost at the same time.
Neutral good as well :monster:
I didn't like some of the questions. The one about "would you poison the king" didn't even hint at what kind of ruler he was, which would influence my answer :monster:
I suspect my answers put me rather close between chaotic good and neutral good, but since it doesn't quantify any further I'm not sure.
I felt the same way, honestly. I would've expected Chaotic Neutral had some of the questions been more specific. I'm not opposed to breaking the law to do the right thing. The "chaotic" options were typically obvious and trolly though. There's a difference between just being a dick and doing bad things for good reasons.Quote:

Chaotic Neutral
A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. 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. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). The common phrase for chaotic neutral is "true chaotic." Remember that the chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it. Chaotic neutral is the best alignment you can be because it represents true freedom both from society’s restrictions and from a do-gooder’s zeal
I meant Chaotic Good, whoops xDQuote:

Neutral
A neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. 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. Some neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. The common phrase for neutral is "true neutral." Neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion.
Lawful Neutral
A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code directs her. Order and organization are paramount to her. She may believe in personal order and live by a code or standard, or she may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government. The common phrase for lawful neutral is "true lawful." Lawful neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you are reliable and honorable without being a zealot.
So Neutral Good and Lawful Neutral are both the best alignments you can be? xD
All of them appear to be. but mine is the best one ;)

I have no feelings about this one way or another.Quote:

Also a few of the questions are circumstantial:
"A powerful but corrupt judge offers you wealth if you'll testify against a friend."
Do I know if my friend is guilty?
Would you betray a family member to advance your own career?'
Which family member?

Pretty much. The "best alignment" is the alignment best suited for the test taker.
Chaotic neutral. Aka the best neutral.

[q]Lawful Good
A lawful good character 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. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion.[/q]
Bulllllllllllllshiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
lawful good
way to be a square.
I always play good guys, but I'd sooner play a Neutral Evil character than a Lawful Good one. It's not the alignment itself, it's the inability for players, and even some DM's, to not treat the player like a smurfing Boy Scout.
I always play Chaotic Neutral and Lawful Evil :colbert:
Neutral, or True Neutral.
Just like the young version of my namesake!
Wesley Snipes?
Haha. I guess this works for me.

Chaotic Good
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. Chaotic good is the best alignment you can be because it combines a good heart with a free spirit.

I got neutral. Guess i'm normal or something.
Didn't expect to get Chaotic Nuetral. :p
Chaotic Good for the win

Sounds about right. Though I have never played D&D or games similar, whenever there's a good choice and a bad choice I'd always go for the good option. If I ever played Mass Effect, I'd play as a paragon.
True neutral, as any good scientist.
Weighing in as another Neutral Good here. Not too many chaotic evils around here, what's up with that?
I was actually aiming for Neutral and wound up with Chaotic Good. As far as Chaotic Evil goes, I'm sure to most people would have to force the answers to an extent. The way the test is set up seems to make it a tad simple to direct the outcome.
Neutral Good. :D
Lawful Awesome
EDIT: neutral good
Lawful Good here. :3
Looks like there's a spot in Hell reserved for me.Quote:
Lawful Evil
A lawful evil villain methodically takes what he wants within the limits of his code of conduct without regard to whom it hurts. 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, religion, homeland, or social rank. He is loath to break laws or promises. This reluctance is partly because of his nature and partly because he depends on order to protect himself from those who oppose him on moral grounds. Some lawful evil villains have particular taboos, such as not killing in cold blood (but having underlings do it) or not letting children come to harm (if it can be helped). They imagine that these compunctions put them above unprincipled villains. The scheming baron who expands his power and exploits his people is lawful evil. Some lawful evil people and creatures are committed to evil with a zeal like that of a crusader committed to good. Beyond being willing to hurt others for their own ends, they take pleasure in spreading evil as an end unto itself. They may also see doing evil as part of a duty to an evil deity or master. Lawful evil is sometimes called "diabolical" because devils are the epitome of lawful evil. Lawful evil is the most dangerous alignment because it represents methodical, intentional, and frequently successful evil.
Good thing too, hell was looking pretty empty until now.
Værn is our first villain. Get him.
He is total Mafia scum! Lynch him!
Whoops, wrong game.
Neutered Good.
I don't think you want to do that. I've already made a contract with a devil which, of course, will allow him to collect my soul as payment if I am defeated. The only thing you can possibly hope to accomplish by turning against me is the empowerment of a greater evil than myself.Quote:

Neutral.
Just neutral.
:| :| :|
Chaotic neutral. :)
Well if you are the player there is no way you are getting an army of devils to protect you, evil or not. XDQuote:

True Neutral.
Not surprised.
Chaotic good! Last time I took it I was neutral good. Something must have changed!

I got chaotic neutral. So... uh, yeah.
Chaotic neutral even though I find myself somehow following the side of chaos and darkness by complete accident. It just happens, but I still try.
Why do you agree/not agree with what it says?
LAW VS CHAOS
I agree because I generally obey laws that make sense to me (not murdering people) but don't the ones I don't see matter much (jaywalking vs not, or illegally downloading media)
GOOD VS EVIL
I also agree because I don't believe that I am good or evil - and have made good and evil choices regularly, but generally choose an amoral option if there is one.
When I first heard of alignments back in 1992, I thought of myself as Lawful Good. Shortly thereafter, especially after reaching puberty, I realized that was not the case.
I think even most chaotic good people/characters tend to obey laws like "don't murder" :monster:
You've clearly not played D&D.
Maybe I just haven't played with the same kind of chaotic good players you have :monster: Though admittedly I haven't played in a long time :monster:
People tend to throw logic out the window and just 'SMASH MONSTER/BADGUY/FENCEPOST', even in a medieval fantasy setting, people probably wouldn't be as ready to mercilessly kill and take the stuff of everything they run into..and yet...
The Best Dungeons & Dragons Character Alignments
Thought that was interesting, if not highly subjective.
But as far as Chaotic Good, murder doesn't seem like it's a big deal, to be honest. Though, killing anybody outside of the law is murder.
From where I'm sitting, Chaotic Good means you'd have no qualms about killing someone if it were necessary to prevent them from harming other people. But that's not exactly murder, at least under most jurisdictions; it's killing in defence of oneself or others. You wouldn't just go out killing people for no reason; that's more the domain of chaotic evil :monster:
Sounds correct to me.
Sounds about right. I guess most of it would depend on what the rule of law is at the time.
I'm Batman. Nicolas, you can be Robin.
I'd consider Batman to be more Lawful Good than anything. We'd probably be closer to Tim Drake as the Red Hood. Also... PFFT. You're the shorter one. YOU can be Robin. It would just look awkward with Batman being about a foot shorter than Robin. ;o
I consider Batman neutral good for the most part, although it really depends on the writer (Frank Miller Batman, for example, is a lot more authoritarian than many other takes on him). In general, though, he's not afraid to get his hands dirty if it's necessary to protect people, but he (almost) always stops short of killing people and generally respects the law in cases where it's justifiable. Some writers have him as obviously chaotic good, some writers have him as obviously lawful good, but on the whole in most portrayals he comes across as neutral good to me. (For example, Dark Knight Trilogy Batman so terrifies the trout out of drug dealers that they are willing to call the police on him, but he also works with the police in cases where it's necessary to protect the city. That seems like neutral good to me).

Ah, so many fun variables.
Edit: Would it, Sarah? WOULD IT?
Yes, it would :love:
It referred to me as a she. How shameful.

Time to read through the thread. I hope there are some juicy alignment arguments going on :D
EDIT: No such luck, you all suck.
Apparently I'm a Neutral Evil.
Apparently I'm the most dangerous mother smurfer here.Quote:
A neutral evil villain does whatever she can get away with. 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. On the other hand, she doesn’t have the restless nature or love of conflict that a chaotic evil villain has. The criminal who robs and murders to get what she wants is neutral evil. Some neutral evil villains hold up evil as an ideal, committing evil for its own sake. Most often, such villains are devoted to evil deities or secret societies. The common phrase for neutral evil is "true evil." Neutral evil is the most dangerous alignment because it represents pure evil without honor and without variation.

:mock:
Luckily you're outnumbered.
Imo, it's the Law-Chaos axis that should cause conflicts more so than the Good-Evil axis.
The Good-Evil axis merely determines the motivation behind your actions: Are you acting for the good of others, or merely to empower yourself? An Evil character may not care about the well-being of others, but that usually does not mean that he will actively seek to harm or kill others if it does not benefit him. Especially when traveling in a party consisting of Good characters, when revealing himself to be too far on the Evil side could turn allies into enemies. A Good character and an Evil character can act almost exactly the same with different goals in mind, and the two could be completely indistinguishable without the use of a Detect Good or Evil spell.
The Law-Chaos axis, on the other hand, more directly influences the actions that a character will take. A Lawful character will always abide by an area's laws, and adhere to his deity's beliefs and codes (if he follows one). That character will also insist that his traveling companions also honor his codes of conduct. A Chaotic character will, by definition, besmirch the Lawful character's beliefs, insisting that it is oppressive for the Lawful character to force his beliefs onto others and that he should be free to do as he pleases. The Chaotic character's constant disrespect of the Lawful character should cause much more conflict than a silly question of whether someone wants to slay a dragon to protect a nearby village or simply to get his hands on its treasure hoard.
Another random thought: Paladins are not supposed to associate with Evil characters or anyone who consistently offends their paladin code. As far as they are concerned, a Chaotic Good character is just as bad as a Lawful Evil character.
So good/evil axis is essentially altruism vs self-interest? O-o;
Pretty much.
Taking that into consideration, it is rather mild. "Evil" is just a signifier for a psychological egoist. :/
Well, self-interest under your definition is neutral. "Evil" is more self-interest regardless of whether or not it's at someone else's expense.
I love how one year back at my old job and I went from Chaotic Neutral to Chaotic Evil :p
Chaotic Evil
A chaotic evil character does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. 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 force, and their leader lasts only as long as he can thwart attempts to topple or assassinate him. The demented sorcerer pursuing mad schemes of vengeance and havoc is chaotic evil. Chaotic evil is sometimes called "demonic" because demons are the epitome of chaotic evil. Chaotic evil is the most dangerous alignment because it represents the destruction not only of beauty and life but of the order on which beauty and life depend.
Wolf Kanno the super villain. What is he doing in charge? xD
