Chaotic good. Lawful good is just too restrictive. It basically means you'd still have to hold up and enforce the laws of an unjust society, simply because those are the laws. Nah, when in a game where you have the power to change things, why wouldn't you?
That's a common misconception, actually. Lawful good means you follow your own moral code that may not neccesarily coincide with local laws. If a paladin kicks down the door of the local Lich King's castle the Lich isn't going to weasel out of a righteous asskicking by pointing out he made asskickings illegal. The paladin's personal code takes precedence over the law.
Lawful good all day erry day.
Are you sure? Bearing in that my minimal experience with the alignments comes from a few brief games of DnD 3.5 and some light Baldur's Gate, I thought the whole appeal of chaotic good was that it was about doing "The Right Thing", regardless of society's current beliefs?
When it comes to Paladins I know they have to follow their chosen God's laws above the laws of man, but wouldn't a lawful good, agnostic warrior or mage have to obey the laws to remain lawful good?
