    Just a curious question for the DND experts. If you had a PC who was in organized crime what alignment would he most likely be? Its about honor, family, order, so I think lawful nuetral or lawful evil. But its criminal and intentionally against the law, so should it be lawful? Just fishing fror a little clarification on alignment.

    Thanks

    I am going to weigh with Lawful Evil with Neutral tendencies :)

    Lawful doesn't necessarily mean the existing establishment, it just means an ordered society, which organized crime is.

    Lawful Neutral would be for the Laws only, and only for the Laws, so I cannot agree with that, even though what the Mafia does isn't necessarily always Evil.

    I think you can be a Diagonal alignment with a leaning toward the middle.

    The reason that I said Lawful/Neutral Evil is because I feel that they both have a place in a mafia organization. I feel that those in positions of leadership would be of a more NE bent while those who were beneath them would almost assuredly be required to be of a more LE stance.
