=== Lawful Good ===
{{Topquote|Where men gather, a bustle of chaos ensues. I would save them all if I could|Keldorn Firecam}}
Truth, justice, apple pie, and curbstomping.  Based on a combination of honor and compassion, they believe that law should be used to further the public good, compassion for others beside oneself is required, that order is separate from goodness but a vital part of it and that no one is above the law including themselves so they practice what they preach.  And sometimes they see [[Powder Keg of Justice|large displays of violence are necessary to protect what its good/defeat what is evil, and act accordingly]].

On the downside, they tend to cause conflict when party members take actions that are less moral or more chaotic ("You are not doing good, then you must be doing evil!  Taste my blade, evildoer!").  As a result, they can slip into, or get get conflated with, [[Lawful Stupid]] due to their rigid morality codes.  While Lawful Stupid is a potential pitfall for any lawful characters, Lawful Good gets tarred with this brush the most as the other Lawful alignments get written off as evil and treated accordingly when conflict arises.  The difference between Lawful Good and Lawful Stupid is Lawful Good can see the bigger picture and be intelligent. 

Despite popular stereotypes, Lawful Good can be reasoned with if the party does something against the law, depending on the personality and which code they follow.  Or if they're a threat to the party, have the rogue engineer an "accident" for them, [[Dwarf Fortress]] style.

Example(s): A textbook Paladin who combats evil wherever they see it, to uphold their religion's core beliefs.

Iconic Character(s): The Man of Steel himself, [[Superman]]

Expected Personality: A bold and brave good guy at best.  Chief of the Fun Police at worst.
