I’m currently GMing a group with a Neutral Thief, who through a spiritual conversion, has become Lawful. We are playing Servants of the Cinder Queen by Jason Lutes. Given that there isn’t anything written in the Thief character sheet for a Lawful option, what would you guys do to give your player a Lawful objective? I’ve written up some of my thoughts here on my blog, but I’m interested to see what others have done or would do in situations like this.

I would talk it over with the player and write one together. Find a corner of Lawfulness that jives with the character and turn it up to 11!
My suggestion would be something like one of these:
* When you foil a dishonest or underhanded scheme
* When you return stolen goods to the rightful owner
Basically anything where she can accomplish a lawful goal with stealth and guile, but not necessarily require her to confront a foe directly
Maybe instead of switching the characters abilities, you could adapt the story to allow him doing “bad things for a good cause”. Think Robin Hood.
