Well, I'd have thought this was posted before, but the Search function didn't find anything, so here goes...

I found a "What D&D Character Are You?" website. I like this one the best because it is very long, and has the most interesting questions. I actually thought a bit about some of them. I also am moreso satisfied that the results I got are suitable for myself moreso than with most other similar surveys I've done.

Here's the survey: http://easydamus.com/character.html

It told me that I'm a level 4 Lawful Good Human Monk. Again that's probably as close to me as you're going to get as far as D&D characters go. Actually nowadays I spend more time practicing with firearms than practicing combative sports like kickboxing or judo but I have spent many years as a very enthusiastic combative sport hobbyist. I still haven't totally given up combative sports and I spend quite a lot of time and energy working out so as to stay in the best physical shape I can. I spend hours at the gym three or four times a week and I am currently focusing on circuit training with weights, cardio, and plyo all combined together.

Here's my results

Lawful Good ----- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (30)

Chaotic Good ---- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (20)

LOL, I apparently hate nature. Look at the negative numbers I got for any character class remotely related to nature down there at the bottom.

Oh my god, I'm the only Lawful!

A lot of that is probably based on how they word the questions. I'm very, very legalistic in how I look at societies, but since all the questions were like, "Which is more important, the letter of the law, or the spirit?" and "the spirit" of the law is taken to be Neutral... Well, there you go. Which I find funny, since law, as a profession, is about interpretation and application of the spirit of the law.

Law in D&D is substantially more primal than merely the laws written by man. Order is really a better term for it as that is ultimately what it represents. It is the force behind the fundamental immutable rules of the universe without which nothing could exist. At the same time, it is the antithesis of free will. The most common personifications of Law are the Modrons, machines that lack free will; they merely perform their assigned tasks and keep Mechanus running smoothly.

Interpreting the spirit of the law is itself less orderly and precise. It involves a bit of unpredictability and free will, things that Law does not embrace.

Of course, most lawful beings take a more reasonable approach to it, but the closer any individual is to the extremely of his alignment the less sane he is from a human perspective. Take characters like Vhailor the Mercykiller, the chosen champion of Law , a dude who'd execute a person for jaywalking.
