What alignment would YOU have given PST's follower-NPCs?

Post by Jules »

As written, the alignments are:

Morte: CG
Dak'kon: LN
Annah: CN
FFG: LN
Ignus: CN
Nordom: CN
Vhailor: LN

What do you think? I think they should be:

Morte: CN
Dak'kon: LN
Annah: CN
FFG: LG
Ignus: CE
Nordom: NG (not normal NG, but good, and extremely lawful and extremely chaotic at the same time)
Vhailor: LE

Sooo... I think they got Annah and Dak'kon right, and the others kinda wrong. :)

Your opinion?

Hmm, i think they got most of it about right...though i think Fall-From-Grace is closer to Lawful Good rather than Lawful Neutral. As for Vhailor, he can't be Lawful Evil imo, since if you get ...

the ending where he battles Nameless One



*end spoiler*

...the alignment wouldn't make sense

I agree in general with your view of it except:
Vhailor is the embodiement of Law and Justice, he's not doing either for Good or Evil, thus he is Neutral.
I'd say both Morte and FFG are on the borderlines between Neutral and Good. Aren't Sensates generally more neutral observers?

I think Morte should still be Chaotic Good, because in the later part of the story (slight spoilers), you learn that he feels guilty and terrible for leading one of your previous incarnations to his death, and his general attitude is good aligned. :)

Ignus...yeah, chaotic evil..he has no regard for anything, however he is a lunatic, matching the CN despcription.

My understanding of Lawful Neutral was utter obedience to authority and law...matching Vhailor perfectly.

But with Nordom, I'm confused, he's meant to be a rogue modron...yet he seems pretty damn ordered and structured like all modrons. :/
