What does “Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic Good/Neutral/Evil” really indicate?
Good/Neutral/Evil should be fairly obvious, but Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic is often trickier to pin down. The easiest way to remember it is that Law is more concerned with the letter of the law than with the people. Chaos can be anti-law, but it can also merely not require set rules of conduct. The PH contains a good description of each of the nine alignment’s typical mindsets, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many variations on each alignment that it is very difficult for any two people to agree on even the vaguest definitions. However, if in need of a standard, use the PH stereotypes.
