Alignment

“	♪I won't see you in the afterlife in that case Because you're Lawful and Chaotic Good am I And I don't think they'll let me hang at your place. O buddy Roy, O buddy Roy, why did you die?♪	”
	— Elan (Comic 445)

A character's Alignment is a categorization of the ethical and moral perspective of people, creatures and societies. In D&D, the alignment is a combination of two facets - Law vs. Chaos, and Good vs. Evil.

Lawful Good

A good character who acts with honour and a sense of duty. They will keep the law unless helping someone requires them to break it, in that case they have to face a hard choice.
