It's still incredibly hard to kill someone through spiking inside the heart but it's not impossible. Also I think my character is neutral chaotic good mix. She generally does things for good, but she's still generally chaotic in her opinions, and if you make her mad, she'll decide how far she'll go based off you. so she's generally honorable but she will go quite far to stop you if she disagrees. She ain't lawful cause lawful is with the angels, and they are shitty. | |

You can now make a choice whether you wish your protagonists to be lawful (we value honor, even if our opponents don't), chaotic (if they break the rules, so can we) or neutral (There are certain lines we won't cross, but everything up to that point is fair game) and come up with solutions based on that. In some ways, a character that's contrary to the morals of the rest of the story challenges the author to find proper reactions for the rest of the world. | |
