Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers
Mythic+ Dungeon Adjustments - 27 April
Best Villain in the History of WoW
MMO-Champion
I'm been thinking of my Dungeons and Dragons character for a while, because I want him to be very complex. I am however issues on what to make his alignment. He is a Silver Dragonborn Ranger loyal to the other party members. I want to make him a good character, but I also want to make him a pushover.
So should I make him Lawful Good, Chaotic Good or Lawful Neutral? I honestly can't decide whatsoever.

Dragonborn I find are generally EXTREMELY honorable characters. Which I think would put them in at least the "Good" category. But honorable actions aren't always the same as lawful actions.
Being a Ranger I would say Neutral Good would likely suit him the best.
http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html A good summary.
"Neutral good characters will always attempt to work within the law, but sometimes recognize the need to disobey laws for the greater good." an Important part.
I generally only ever play Lawful good if I am a Paladin or Cleric.Last edited by Super Kami Dende; 2015-12-05 at 02:52 AM.

Aren't Rangers required to be Chaotic? Or did that restriction go away in one of the last 38920 editions?

Neutral Good seems pretty good of an option as well. May definitely consider that, does the party members he works with effect his alignment as well (A rogue, warlock and fighter) among some possible additional players squeezed in?

5th Edition does not have any alignment restrictions on any classes. Originally Posted by belfpala

I have 5e if that gives an indication, but I'm relatively new to D&D Originally Posted by smrund

Okay then. I've planning on doing my first official game with my new group either Tuesday or Wednesday. Fingers crossed that it won't be awkward and will make good memories. Originally Posted by smrund

Sorta? The paladin options in the PHB all have "oaths" and they strongly lean in the "good guy" direction. The DMG has an "oath-breaker paladin" who yes, could be chaotic evil without question. Originally Posted by belfpala

Chaotic evil Paladin sounds like a Deathknight.

I really haven't played since 3rd edition but from what I'm reading of the paladin class in 5th edition it sounds like: "You can be any alignment you want as long as you want to be good."

Given the penalties for not following the alignment and this was 20y ago I would say play safe.
No attachments ;p
Nothing beats having a lawful good priest in your party with 6 roll in INT hrhr. He made a funny jail experience quite memorable with me and another Evil Neutral
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

It was actually a case of <spell of making everyone smaller>and a curse on two of us making us into 'Pinocchio' with large enough noses so we could not squeeze out the jail bars as everyone else. Originally Posted by Davillage

And with INT roll 6 he didnt see the purpose of all of us getting away from murder charges
