Shadowdancer Alignments?


Rules Questions


"Alignment: Because of their nature as visually duplicitous tricksters, shadowdancers do not fit comfortably into the lawful category, as many use their talents to avoid the eyes of legitimate authority. Yet though they are allies of darkness, shadowdancers are neither inherently evil nor predisposed to good. To them, the darkness is simply the darkness, without any of the usual moral connotations made by the unenlightened."

That still means they can be any alignment right? It doesn't flat out say that they cannot be Lawful, but I imagine Lawful Shadowdancers would be rare.


That would be my reading, yes.

Dark Archive

In Golarion, where the only god associated with darkness is a huge fan of law, discipline, obedience and the punishment of even the slightest infraction, I'd imagine that lawful Shadowdancers would be more common than chaotic ones.

But in other settings, things could be different.
