Alignment System

[NecroRebel]

Some really nice opinions here :)

I operate under the assumption that the law/chaos system is far too similar to the good/evil system, so it could be subsumed under it.

So my question: could you interpret law/chaos as the likelyhood to stick to / deviate from your alignment more frequently?

No, because a person who is willing to do evil acts for a good purpose is Evil or, at best, Neutral with regards to good and evil. If you're willing to hurt, oppress, or kill others, you're Evil. Further, what you're suggesting would make a Lawful Good character somehow "more Good" than a Chaotic Good character, because the CG would be willing to do evil, but LG, NG, and CG are all just as Good as the other two, just different in other ways. That interpretation doesn't fly.

Edit: The problem, perhaps, is that your stated assumption on the similarity between law/chaos and good/evil is outright wrong. You should look at the definitions of those 4 things again and analyze them to know how they differ. This will help prevent you from making faulty interpretations.
