Generally, being Lawful and accepting any excuse from the rest of the party to cover up their un-lawful behavior.StevenWarblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12697680166430879676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290828421410624791.post-66522093943810335112015-05-22T10:07:49.657-05:002015-05-22T10:07:49.657-05:00I think I'm Lawful or at leas. en joy the oppo...I think I'm Lawful or at leas. en joy the opportunity to play games in a setting where behavior can be defined by lawful expectations. sure ene can play a heinous pilfering criminal in such a setting but they should expect to be treated as such<br />I often wondr why so many DMs don't have the peope in a campaign. treat Chaotic outcasts as outcasts.

They agree to meet on the field of battle at midmorning in 8 days with 200 men and no fireball wands, give warning to an out/classed foe it is best to surrender (when not making things worse by doing so). War is declared by sending messengers with white flags that are not butchered. Jousting for suis of armor and securing the goods of a knight who dies in such a challeneg so they may be returned to an heir (as only the armor was up for grabs). All that sort of stuff is playing lawfully without being stupid.JDsivrajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674833512849495283noreply@blogger.com
