Align/Ethos

[Magick]

I finally found a copy. Don't know who the original author is, else I'd give props. Before anyone says anything, there are no, repeat NO true neutrals in here. They should be taken from the chaotic and lawful, good and evil. Little of each, or switching between the two extremes at times. This is also not a 'set in stone' deal or 'all must be like this'. Not true. These are just guidelines and something to keep in mind when you roll your character.

AHAHAHA! That's straight out of the RIFTS handbook! I used to play that in high school, can't believe I recognize it still.

[Tom]

I think a Chaotic Good would be quite willing to torture evils for information to prevent harm to goods.

[The Lemming]

I think chaotic good may torture to prevent harm to an innocent, not just limited to goods. And a Chaotic evil may have honor, just a skewed, twisted, half-truth-to-it kind of honor.
