That's something I've been drilling to my players for nearly 20 years now:

Good vs Evil is really Altruism vs Selfishness. Good characters can do traditionally "evil" things if its to help others. Evil characters can do traditionally "good" things if it benefits themselves (even if that benefit is just the warm fuzzy feeling).

Lawful vs Chaotic is consistency vs inconsistency. In any given situation, assuming all other considerations are the same, a lawful character will do the same thing. A chaotic character will not.

I was never quite sure about that stuff, but isn't 'Chaotic' usually what allows the Good character to do the 'traditionally evil thing' to help others?

Say you assassinate a slave owner in their sleep, you're doing it for good (free the slaves) but you're doing something inherently evil (murdering someone in their sleep), so that I thought that was 'chaotic good', while a 'lawful good' person would refrain from doing that even to save the slaves, so he would try to bring the slave owner to justice, or - if the justice supports that - try to change the entire judicial system, etc..!

(Maybe he could offer him a proper duel, that's not too evil!)

In Dungeons & Dragons, Chaotic Good describes a character who is inherently good-hearted and acts according to their own moral compass, often disregarding rules and traditions in the process. These characters believe in personal freedom and are driven by a desire to help others, even if it means breaking the law or defying authority.

It's not really the act that is good or evil, it's the intentions.

The Lawful - Chaotic axis is more about if you care about the rules and expectations of society. Note that is this context a plundering barbarian would be lawful, he is doing what his society expects from him. He will probably have some code about duels and such.

Robinhood and Freakazoid are both good examples of chaotic good.

Though, in Robinhood's case, he went that direction because the country was in the clutches of someone who was lawful evil.
