Lawful neutral

Lawful neutral characters are directed by logic, tradition, or a personal code in their actions. Order and organisation, such as those provided by a strong government, are paramount to their beliefs.

Lawful neutral combines reliability and honour without moral bias. While they do not lack a moral compass, they believe ethical considerations are a distant second to what the laws of the land, ancient traditions or their personally held code of conduct dictate. Whether they live in a benevolent democracy or tyrannical dictatorship, these characters believe the benefits of organisation and law outweigh any questions of morality.

A functionary, soldier, or employee who follows orders without question regardless of the result, an arms dealer who sells his wares to the highest bidder, whatever that bidder may do with them, and an impartial jurist who sticks rigidly to the rule book are all examples of lawful neutral characters.
