D&D Online Alignment TestByDavid NoonanYour Character’s AlignmentBased on your answers to the quiz, your character’s most likely alignment isLawful Good.Lawful GoodA lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. She combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. She tells the truth, keeps her word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion.--excerpted from thePlayer’s Handbook, Chapter 6Keep in mind the alignment suggested by the quiz is just that: a suggestion. It describes your character no better than a 36-question test would describe you. But it’s a good way to start thinking about how your character acts when confronted with issues of alignment.Now that your character has taken the test,make a note of which questions scored in the opposite direction from your overall alignment. These exceptions can tell some interesting tales about your character Are you a good character with a greedy streak?Are you a lawful character who can’t stand the village elders? Don’t just roleplay your alignment -- roleplay your alignment exceptions, too. Few characters perfectly embody their alignment choice.Try the test againChanging AlignmentFrom time to time (say every three to five levels), it might be a good idea to retake this alignment test to see whether your character is experiencing "alignment drift."Perhaps you intended him to walk the straight and narrow, but (having fallen in with bad company), he’s becoming increasingly comfortable with behavior that would make his mentors blush. Or perhaps you intended her as a hard-bitten cynic, yet find that she’s the one who makes sure the rescued survivors get safely back to town, sometimes slipping them a few gold pieces to replace their losses.Don’t despair: People change over time, and characters do too. Some become more lawful (there’s nothing like amassing a stockpile of loot to make you want banditry and thieving to stop). Others relaxtheir earlier strictures to embrace a more flexible approach. The alignment you choose while creating the character may not be the alignment that best fits how youplay that character. Retaking the test later on also has the advantage that, instead of abstract conditions, you can plug in specificexamples of how the character behaved when faced with any of the situations outlined in the "test."Note that some characters (paladins, clerics, monks) suffer consequences of shifting alignment. Consider this test a qualifying exam for beginning characters inthis class ("Well, you seem to score poorly on lawfulness, Sir Eadgar -- are you sure you want to be a paladin?") and a moral and ethical compass for those already on their chosen path.Read about the creation of theHero Builder’s Guidebookin ourPersonality Spotlightinterview!WHAT'S NEWCORPORATE INFOWHERE TO BUYINTERNATIONALSUPPORTSITEMAPPRODUCTS© 1995-2004 Wizards of the Coast, Inc., a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc.
