    Which was the point I made in my prior post.

    Problem with this is, lots of people here don't agree with you about it being a shade of Orange.

    Relatedly, people for years tried to claim that Belkar (v1.0 if we must) was anything other than Chaotic Evil.

    Which is... amazing.

    If people will argue in all seriousness over the alignment of someone like Belkar, I think trying to find unanimity over alignement discussion is pointless and fruitless.

    Or to put it another way, if people can look at shade of color that Belkar was painted in and argue over it, how can one possibly conclude that they won't argue over characters with a bit more depth to them?
