I could go off about alignment, but, I'd rather not because it's no fun to argue about. Suffice to say that Lawful Good characters will usually respect laws that help facilitate "good" and will often oppose those that are directly tyrannical, while Chaotic Good will happily break any law he chooses before his morning breakfast. They're the ones more likely to off the big bad of the hour instead of taking him to trial, more likely to swipe an important item and promise to bring it back later, more likely to pick the locks and let slaves run wild rather than work to change the system. Basically, the main difference tends to be one of method:<br/><br/>Lawful: "Work within the laws and only break them when there is no other option."<br/><br/>Chaotic: "Screw the laws, I'm doing what's right!"<br/><br/>Neutral: "Whichever of those two above is more effective at the moment."
