Lawful Good Alignment

Lawful good is known as the "saintly" of "crusader" alignment. A lawful good charcater typically acts with compassion, and always with honor and a sense of duty. A lawful good nation  would consist of a well-organized government that works for the benefit of its citizens.

Lawful good characters may sometimes find themselves conflicted when their devotion to law and their devotion to good come into conflict--for example, upholding a sworn oath when it would lead to innocents being harmed. In situations like this, even fellow lawful good characters may disagree on the correct coarse of action. This depends of how the characters prioritize their adherence to law and to good.

Law before Good
These characters will almost always default to the lawful option. They are essentially good natured people who will never side with the forces of evil. But, when given a choice, they'll opt to catch the bad guy rather than save the innocents. Their strict adherence to law often puts them in conflict with chaotic good characters.

Good before Law
These characters will amost always default to the good option. They are essentially law-abiding people who will never side with criminals. But, when given a choice, they'll opt to save the innocents even if it means letting the bad guy escape.

The Third Option
Remarkably, these characters, when given a choice between law and good, seem to always find a way to do both. Fundamentally, these characters believe that being lawful good means never choosing the lesser of two evils.
