public defenders exist, which imo is good. also their legal role is to disrupt the process of mass incarceration as best they can, which is probably a chaotic act but also it's their legal role so maybe that balances to neutral?

i think i'm okay with calling public defenders "neutral good"

i don't really like the classic d&d alignment grid though :shobon:

most public defender's would prob be lawful good imo, a lot depends on how you define lawful

yeah all the subjective interpretations of "lawful" and "good" and all are one of the main reasons i don't like the alignment axis!

but i guess if we define lawful as "full of law" then public defenders are lawful good for sure

public defenders are hired and chosen by the state, and are typically selected based on their overall general incompetency in the face of a seasoned prosecutor, so actually I'm going to say they're lawful neutral and also that they're bad

people on trial should get to choose from a variety of kittens to pet and their sentence determined by how loud the cat purrs

I know a lawyer irl who is also a goon and I would say he's chaotic neutral mostly, but that's why the D&D alignment chart falls apart.

also lawyers can be any alignment. just because their job is the law that doesn’t mean they have to lawful. it’s like how a chef can be evil even though they feed hungry people.

Let's draft an alignment chart that better suits the needs being discussed. Perhaps "helpful" and "unhelpful" as a buffer between good and evil?

Can "legit" be one of the descriptors? Can't think of a clever antonym?

e: or is this my lack of imagination that I smuggle "lawful" back in through the backdoor?

the Legit Axis would be an infinitely useful-er axis than good/evil
