What I commonly see (as player and DM) is Lawful Good characters act out against players who don't meet their alignment in an evil way.
Example:
Party of Lawful Good characters and a true neutral character are traveling with an NPC, the NPC steps on a trap and dies. The neutral player shrugs "sucks to be him" and loots the pockets of the dead man.
The Lawful Good player plants an axe in the back of the neutral players skull. People without empathy are evil they reason...
Example 2:
A dragon born lawful good paladin introduces himself to a chaotic evil Bard. The Bard explains he doesn't believe in religion. The paladin uses detect alignment and detects the evil in the Bard.. so he runs him through with his sword...
What's your opinion, are they doing it wrong? (I think so)
Do you have any funny stories?
