He combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. He tells the truth, keeps his word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion. However, lawful good can be a dangerous alignment because it restricts freedom and criminalizes self-interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Race:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Humans&lt;/b&gt; are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Class:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Paladins&lt;/b&gt; take their adventures seriously, and even a mundane mission is, in the heart of the paladin, a personal test an opportunity to demonstrate bravery, to learn tactics, and to find ways to do good. Divine power protects these warriors of virtue, warding off harm, protecting from disease, healing, and guarding against fear. The paladin can also direct this power to help others, healing wounds or curing diseases, and also use it to destroy evil. Experienced paladins can smite evil foes and turn away undead. A paladin's Wisdom score should be high, as this determines the maximum spell level that they can cast. Many of the paladin's special abilities also benefit from a high Charisma score.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Find out &lt;a href="'http://www.easydamus.com/character.html'" target="'mt'"&gt;What Kind of Dungeons and Dragons Character Would You Be?&lt;/a&gt;, courtesy of Easydamus &lt;a href="'mailto:zybstrski@excite.com'"&gt;(e-mail)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5650180067544392303-3432302283819169873?l=silentsingularity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://silentsingularity.blogspot.com/feeds/3432302283819169873/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5650180067544392303&amp;postID=3432302283819169873' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5650180067544392303/posts/default/3432302283819169873'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5650180067544392303/posts/default/3432302283819169873'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://silentsingularity.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-am-lawful-good-human-paladin-2nd.html' title=''/><author><name>Acervus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16890509922960218471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cI29ReTQapk/SKDMRyDsdDI/AAAAAAAAAAU/Kgo67Tal8NI/s1600-R/1216011108201.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650180067544392303.post-1073014228118787485</id><published>2008-09-04T14:18:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2008-09-04T14:22:18.433-05:00</updated><title type='text'>After watching the two party conventions...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cI29ReTQapk/SMA08EJ14NI/AAAAAAAAABQ/CPKhaBfM5Wo/s1600-h/nodemsin2008.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cI29ReTQapk/SMA08EJ14NI/AAAAAAAAABQ/CPKhaBfM5Wo/s320/nodemsin2008.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242248172771074258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;That's all that needs to be said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sarah Palin totally reamed the shit out of Obama, and for good reason, he's worthless.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I realize that I was going to originally try and not make a political blog, but I can't do that, anymore.

The city itself is well designed, surrounded at all sides by suburbs and a sort of "Positive" urban sprawl. The people are usually quite intelligent, though, that is likely due to this being a University town, through and through. Though I may live in &lt;a href="http://www.cedarparktx.us/cp/default.aspx"&gt;Cedar Park&lt;/a&gt;, one of the suburbs of Austin, it is a short, 20 minute drive to &lt;a href="http://www.6street.com/"&gt;Downtown&lt;/a&gt;, where you can see live music, and drink until your liver explodes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I suppose, if I had to live somewhere else, it would have to be Seattle, Washington. Which is a bit silly, because Seattle is basically Austin with alot more water near it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the simplest words, it's a good place to live, cheap, easy to find a job, taxes are low, and there's always something to do. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>The first post...</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;I got to thinking, recently, that maybe I should just buckle down, and get my own blog... I think alot, and I do believe I write rather well... I do not expect this blog to go anywhere, or do anything. Hell, I may even stop updating it after two posts... But, I'll give it a shot...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I do not have a real purpose for this blog, I suppose it will mainly be about counter-culture, and geek culture, if anything... If not just musings of a teenager who is just part of a backwater planet in a hillbilly galaxy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5650180067544392303-7241244838034188176?l=silentsingularity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://silentsingularity.blogspot.com/feeds/7241244838034188176/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5650180067544392303&amp;postID=7241244838034188176' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5650180067544392303/posts/default/7241244838034188176'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5650180067544392303/posts/default/7241244838034188176'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://silentsingularity.blogspot.com/2008/08/first-post.html' title='The first post...'/><author><name>Acervus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16890509922960218471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cI29ReTQapk/SKDMRyDsdDI/AAAAAAAAAAU/Kgo67Tal8NI/s1600-R/1216011108201.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
