What alignment would a female drow bladesinger be? The character im thinking of feels a responsibility to her people to protect them BUT still engages in the power struggles and intrigues that rage in drow society. Im thinking Lawful Evil And also what is the drow varient of the bladesinger? ive searched all across the internet and cant find a dratted thing. |

Lawful characters are essentially more trustworthy -- if you can find out what that character's sense of loyalty is to. A lawful follower of Lloth can be trusted to consider things as to what Lloth would want. Or the code could be to one's self, and be a personal sense of honor. Or it could be loyalty to your employer . . . whomever that employer might be this week.
Alignment is pretty restrictive in D&D. You really have to work at things to get the sense of how the vagaries of alignment can twist and turn. I rather liked the example of a paladin in the Eberron Campaign Setting, where the paladin senses that an innkeeper is evil-aligned. Yet she doesn't draw her sword and smite him; she instead tells him to stop watering down the ale. Evil comes in many guises, as well as shapes, colors, and flavors. So does law, chaos, and good. When it comes to humans -- or, in D&D, any race -- the only absolute thing you can find is that nothing is absolute. |

I was joking some about being LG, however in a Drow socity a LG Drow certainly can do a lot of killing, because most Drow are evil. The biggist problem faced by any Drow of any Good alignmentment is that bloody detect alignment spell (no save, no SR). The good ones certainly canidates for sacifice, evil or at least not good increases survival factor by some degree.
Being Lawful should not be much of a problem as the socity certainly has laws, in fact could be more trusted then a Chaotic could be. |

It depends on how she participates in the intrigues, really. She could participate without killing people and be neutral, or, if she actively sought to keep others from being hurt, she could even be good. But she'd more likely be evil, so go with LE, like you were thinking. |

Alignment: Non-chaotic
As to being in underdark would think Lawful Evil certainly can work, though cound be Lawful Good ;-) |
