#37920, "Good, Evil and Cabals"
Edited on Tue 10-May-11 11:54 AM

          

A character's role, ethos, alignment, cabal, race and experiences all provide the foundation for how a character will act and the choices they will make throughout their lives. It seems like, of all these factors, cabal weighs the heaviest.

I find this interesting. There are four cabals where goods and evils co-exist Tribunal, Herald, Battle, and Outlander. Of the four of these Outlander seems to be the only one that draws a distinction between the roles of different alignments in the group.

I'm curious what other players think about how a character's alignment manifests itself within their cabal. For example - what is different about a good aligned rager vs. an evil rager? Herald? Tribunal? Is it a question of motivations and goals? Is it a common end with a different means?

What does, say, good aligned Tribunal do when good aligned Outlander is raiding for their item? Or what does a storm giant Rager do when fire giant Rager is getting tag teamed by good aligned paladin/invoker team? What does good aligned rager do when fire giant rager is about to wax the elf thief buddy you've ranked 100 hours with?

It's a question that exists in reality as well... like when is a WWII Nazi soldier (who is "good aligned") supposed to starting thinking in terms of his morality (alignment) and not in terms of his orders (cabal dogma)?

What do you think?
