    But Chaotic Good is laaaaaame. Lawful Netral for the win!

    Er, thanks?

     

    I question why morality should be split between two quantifiers - Lawful and Chaotic, Good, Evil, Neutral - but I'm not going to argue it. You're either good or evil, and this system doesn't account for that.

     

    Edit: Also, I'm the only Dwarf in town. Weird...

    Just for fun, I'll post mine here. If there was a competition for highest ability scores, I think I just beat everyone but Voltex (nobody beats Voltex :P):

    You Are A:
    Lawful Neutral Dwarf Sorcerer (3rd Level)
    Ability Scores:
    Strength- 15
    Dexterity- 13
    Constitution- 14
    Intelligence- 16
    Wisdom- 15
    Charisma- 12

    Alignment:
    Lawful Neutral- A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code directs him.Order and organization are paramount to him. He may believe in personal order and live by a code or standard, or he may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government. Lawful neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you are reliable and honorable without being a
    zealot. However, lawful neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it seeks to eliminate all freedom,choice, and diversity in society.

    Race:
    Dwarves are known for their skill in warfare, their ability to withstand physical and magical punishment, their hard work, and their capacity for drinking ale. Dwarves are slow to jest and suspicious of strangers, but they are generous to those who earn their trust. They stand just 4 to 4.5 feet tall, but are broad and compactly built, almost as wide as they are tall. Dwarven men value their beards highly.

    Class:
    Sorcerers- Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of
    time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.

    I hear you, man. I have a couple theories on why.


    1) Sometimes people approach debates just to validate their own opinions, instead of actively seeking what is true. This is not the same as proposing a theory, but they want their opinion on that theory: "this theory is true" "this theory is false" validated by other people. This is because, deep down, they are uncertain about whether their opinion is true, but they want it to be true so much that they will ignore everything to the contrary.


    Truth is dang painful, especially when you have an emotional stake in it. But no amount of my (or yours, or anyone's) emotions will change the truth. Period.


    2) Having uncertainty about the major truths of life can cause people to have emotional stakes in trivial items. This is because, when you're uncertain about anything, the amount of confidence in your thinking about the uncertainty (which is huge, major, not going away) depends on the validation of the accuracy of your thinking at any given moment. This means that being uncertain - not being sure - of the major truths of life - causes you to seek validation that you are still thinking correctly, because whether or not that big thing you want to be true is true depends on your thinking about it, because only your thinking and reasoning about it makes it true! And if you're not thinking correctly about this tiny little minor thing, could you be wrong about this huge major thing too? Ooo...scary. Terrors! Quick...I'm not wrong about this tiny little thing because...


    On the other hand, if the opposite is true, that you are absolutely certain of the answers to life's major questions (Why do I exist? Where do I come from? etc), and that certainty comes from something greater than yourself (logic, perhaps), then you will let the little things that you are wrong about pass. They are learning expieriances - the little debates don't change the big things because you know what they are, and being wrong about this little thing isn't going to change who you are, or how right you are about the big things, because you know you are right about that. Period.


    I could go on and on about that, but I think I've either accomplished my goal or confused the living daylights out of you all by now.

    I am totally confused by this. I think it has to do with offsite stuff that shouldn't be brought in here.

    I would point out who brought it up first.

     

    That doesn't matter. You don't have to respond and lower yourself to his level. :( Further, Tarygen brought in more stuff that wasn't necessary IMO.

     

    I understand that there is a lot of pent-up anger and stuff regarding Kraggh, but why can't offsite issues be resolved offsite and in PMs rather than making this website look bad for instigating another flame war?
