A creature's general moral and personal attitudes are represented by its
alignment: lawful good, neutral good, chaotic good, lawful neutral, neutral,
chaotic neutral, lawful evil, neutral evil, or chaotic evil.
Alignment is a tool for developing your character's identity. It is not a
straitjacket for restricting your character. Each alignment represents a broad
range of personality types or personal philosophies, so two characters of the
same alignment can still be quite different from each other. In addition, few
people are completely consistent.
