>Every knight is a kind, noble soul who is absolutely loyal to his liege (to the extent that his liege is just and moral) but always finds time to aid commoners in need
>Every knight is a selfish asshole with a pointy stick that routinely rapes and mutilates peasants of their preferred gender and is only loyal to their liege for as long as it benefits them
Which do you prefer?

Lawful good best alignement.
>>46288107
I prefer not to have one-dimensional cardboard cutout characters that all fall into one extreme.
>>46288107
They're both kind of crap but I'd rather go with the first one and say it's part of he knight selection process.
As always, a mix of things is best.
>>46288107
>Every knight is X
I prefer not to have this. This is dumb, implausible, dumb, always sounds too preachy and dumb.
>>46288107
Lawful good when i play them.
But when DMing they're mixed. But usually members from the same order/group tend to have common traits

This.
>Every knight is a noble soul who is loyal to his liege (to the extent that his liege is just and moral), finds time to aid commoners in need but has human flaws and vices that mar their chivalric strength.
>>46288107
all but one from either category the one in the other category

>After he's done raping them, that is
>>46288107
I like a mix of both. Not everyone is the pinnacle of moral virtue and not everyone uses their dick for might. I like to think for every Orlando you have a Gawain
>>46288107
Ever Knight likely aspires to the first one but tends to result in a flawed attempt. Either due to their own Human flaws or their economic situation that doesnt allow them to be as Moral as other Knights or do the same work as they can barely maintain their armour/horse or feed themselves. True knights should be few imo but the intentionally evil ones should be rare

They're both great, especially when they clash.
