'''Lawful good''' is one of the nine [[alignment]]s that represent a [[creature]]'s general moral and personal attitudes.

==The Crusader==
A lawful good [[character]] acts as a good person is expected or required to act. She combines a commitment to oppose [[evil]] with the discipline to fight relentlessly. She tells the truth, keeps her word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Alhandra, a [[paladin]] who fights evil without mercy and protects the innocent without hesitation, is lawful good.

Lawful good is an alignment which combines honor and compassion.However, some, especially [[paladin]]s, may sometimes find themselves faced with the dilemma of whether to obey Law or Good when the two conflict - for example, upholding a sworn oath when it would lead innocents to come to harm - or conflicts between two orders, such as between their religious law and the law of the local ruler. Because of this, lawful good is sometimes the most self-destructive form of [[lawful|law]] and [[good]] (compare with [[chaotic evil]]), due to losing ones self to conflicts between altruism and ethos.

The [[Upper Planes|upper plane]] of [[Celestia]] embodies this concept.

Note: Lawful Good doesn't mean lawful stupid. For example, a lawful good character would still accept rewards for saving a village from a monster attack (if the village could afford the reward); and when faced with a choice to break their code or hurt someone, most Lawful Good characters will break their code (especially paladins, for whom Good is more important than Law).

==Fictional Examples==
*Superman
*Sturm Brightblade (Dragonlance)
*Hermione Granger (initially)
*Aragorn (Book Version) and Sam Gamgee (Lord of the Rings)
