Which Alignment do you Usually Roleplay As?

[Kelb_Panthera]

I rarely make alignment the foremost detail of any given character. Consequently, mechanical necessity to reach the capabilities I want the character to have tends to be what pushes me one way or another. That leaves me around LN more often than you'd think.

That said, I'm perfectly comfortable playing any of the nine in a variety of ways. Thinking of going with an exalted paladin into fist of raziel for the next one so LG with a capital "G" is up next.

I favor Lawful, but I'm indifferent to the specific alignment.

I enjoy the edgier side of LN. Man with a mission that doesn't mess around and doesn't compromise. I don't dip into good very often. I'm more likely to deviate into evil than good, for all the right reasons, or so I say to myself ^^.

LG or NG is my general inclination but I've played every alignment cept LE at this point. Though I usually end up playing N because I often end up with parties that veer heavily into the CN territory.

[Grek]

I have played characters of every alignment.

[Brion]

I usually determine my alignment based on the character's personality, so it comes secondary. I did some thinking and the last 4 characters I played were: LE, CG, CG, LG. So I suppose CG would be the most common, but LE was by far the most fun.

Honestly, over the years I’ve been all over the spectrum...

On a side note, I don’t fall into the camp of alignments being a handcuff to your character. Good people do bad things, lawful people stray from their codes. Neutral people may find their balance tipping one way or the other over time... it’s not a static thing that your character can never stray from or change as the character develops.

However, alignment is an important part of the greater D&D cosmology. In a world so connected to various outer planes, God’s, demons and devils and the like, I see it as they type of energy your soul is attuned too (an important thing for spells such as smite evil to work). It’s also why certain classes and powers work when you act true to an alignment and can be lost when you stray...

There is also plenty of room for a large variety individually while staying within the alignment guidelines (just check out the various characters in the sapphire guard. LG doesn’t have to be a soulless evil smiting robocop).

In case anyone was wondering, I voted for Lawful Good. So many people seem to hate it though, ah well.
