Terribly. You cannot run a nation on Lawful Good. Lawful Evil/Chaotic Good is what you want. Incidentally most nations would ideally fall into that category.

>>41083331
I dunno, what kind of solar do we get? Being made out of Good doesn't mean that they're Good, we could get someone like Trias the Betrayer.

The angels leave, saying they have better shit to do (like fighting demons so the mortal world isn't swallowed up into a hellscape that is anathema to all non-demon life). Without a monarch, the kingdom descends into civil war as the nobility try to hold on to their land/take each other's and foreign nations swoop in in an opportunistic land grab.

They aren't countries for very long, huh? Your assumptions would be accurate if this was just some random yet powerful outsider.

This is a literal angel. Something that is literally made of good. If you have a problem with being ruled by something made out of pure good, then that's basically a free pass for anyone to kick your ass. Invading would be suicide, since that would be basically saying "Hey everyone! I am opposing good itself!"

Which is more or less "Hey everyone! Invade me and divy up my territory, nobody with half a brain would argue against!"

She'd probably end up murdered pretty quick once the noble houses figured out no King meant no blood succession and no real way to elevate their family beyond its current holdings.

The problem isn't good. The problem is LAWFUL.

>>41083891
Actually, it's not.

They don't have to be good aligned. Just smart enough to see an opportunity for free shit and good PR. If you're an evil aligned nation, then it is to your benefit to be seen as a good aligned one. And if one is dumb enough to flat out oppose a nation that is ruled by a literal incarnation of goodness, then not only do you get there stuff, you get the good PR of "Hey, I destroyed this obviously evil nation".

>>41083891

It might surprise you to learn that most people don't give a shit about the great war between Good and Evil, they just want to keep it off their lawn. And every LN nation that could benefit from extra resources should be up for a war on their terms. We hit from three sides and trade four equal states for three super states.

>>41083950
See >>41083931
They don't have to give a shit about the great war. But it's basically a choice between "These assholes that would make us look good if we attacked them" and "The country ruled by an angel that could kill me with a thought if it wanted to".

And while most nations don't, plenty of soldiers who have to do the fighting will care that, you know. They're fighting an Angel. Since most people want to think of themselves as good, and it's kind of hard to rationalize that when you're fighting an angel.

An angel with a +34 to diplomacy at that.

>>41083331

Let's check the SRD.

Abilities: Str 28, Dex 20, Con 20, Int 23, Wis 25, Cha 25
Skills: Concentration +30, Craft or Knowledge (any five) +33, Diplomacy +34, Escape Artist +30, Hide +26, Listen +32, Move Silently +30, Search +31, Sense Motive +32, Spellcraft +31, Spot +32, Survival +7 (+9 following tracks), Use Rope +5 (+7 with bindings)

Most mortals literally cannot win a contest of diplomacy against the new ruler, hide their motivations, or even see the new ruler coming if the Solar decides to play spymaster. Never mind her supernatural abilities, magical equipment, and qualities as a warrior. She's utterly unstoppable as a monarch...

... and as a judge of character, and as a therapist. She'd talk the monarch through the issue of succession and peacefully, expertly assign a mortal liege to this position which is, frankly, beneath her. Given even a few days of effort, she could strike the necessary bargains and make the necessary arguments to all but assure a peaceful transition of power to her chosen ruler who will have a literal Divine Mandate to his or her throne.

The real money isn't in running the kingdom, guys, it's in consulting.

You're assuming a divine order would survive human imperfection. Look, angels generally aren't corrupt, have no vices, and work 100% towards the goal. Humans do not.

There's no point in being the greatest statesman ever if everyone under you is inherently flawed. Angels are used to working with perfection.

These girls are some of the best soul shapers in all of heaven, using their massive, perfect thighs pound and grind away at mortal souls, slowly striping away metaphysical impurities and compressing whats left down tighter and tighter, smaller and smaller until all that remains of the soul is a perfect smooth gem in the shape of a rod with rounded ends, just the perfect size and shape for making these angelic amazons sing. Of course, sometimes as they lie back, coming down from the bliss of seventh heaven, they realize they've lost their grip on the little soul and now it's lost up in their holiest of holies. Some do work their way out but for most the utter purity cleans away whats left of the soul and it becomes apart of the angel herself. Don't worry for the poor muscular beauty, the soul shapers will always make sure there is enough reformed souls to keep them in eternal bliss.

Demons and yugoloths aren't that popular for mortals to interact with, beyond the rare overconfident/idiotic dark magic practitioner (or aspiring necromancer in the case of demon prince Orcus). Devils, however, offer a whole host of benefits in exchange for servitude. A place in the armies of hell is surprisingly enticing, you just need to have a want for power and a taste for hurting others.

The official way to look at is that they all have the same standing, yes.

An ultra-idealist kingdom that gets slowly outmaneuvered politically by its less scrupulous and machiavellian neighbors.

>>41087753
>Same as in DnD

In Grand History of the Realms, one of the stories added specifically for that book (3e D&D), was from the perspective of a man from some evil empire that just got blown the fuck up.
In the short tale, he's bitching about how shit life is, people still starving and having trouble establishing permanent housing in the environment, and how he still hates walking out the front door of his shitty shack into mud, when that morning, a Solar appears in the sky.

People are looking to it with wide-eyes and going "Holy shit" because of the giant golden aura, and feathery wings, and the fact it just gated in.
When it loudly announces, in the name of justice, for crimes committed by the now dead empire of whateverthefuckitwascalled, she is now declaring the judgement is death.

Now people are confused, their home was destroyed, their capital city now where a great sea is, but before they can wonder for long, she draws her flaming holy sword, and declares that she will now carry out the sentence.
And proceeds to murder every single person who was a citizen of that empire before it fell.

I would not want an angel running my kingdom, especially not a Solar. They were made for war, and they fucking show it.

You know, I have no stake in this discussion, but it has always bothered me how just about everything of any import in newer D&D is some brand of genius, I'm not sure if it started in AD&D or not (I wouldn't be surprised) but man did it ever become the default in 3rd.

>>41089414
Well, everyone of any import in real life is some brand of genius. "Idiocy" is just an affectation they put on to maintain their image/popularity. So the game reflects real life in that regard, at least.

>>41089414
Because being a caster allows for much, much more BBEGing than just a martial, and casters need those scores. It is also trivial to get boosting items for BBEGs of high calibre.

>>41089511
Oh and alternatively they just slap same arbitrarily high range of scores without thinking about differences in application between 30 STR/DEX/CON and 30 INT/WIS/CHA

>>41089414

How would that work, would her presence slowly turn people into angels until babies start getting born with wings and crime ceases to exist?

There would be at least one person freaking the fuck out about all the changes since the angel arrived, and it would end with his fears being soothed by the angel comforting him

Name three sane Catholics you've met that were not deeply troubled individuals, specially when female. The religion is righteous and Lawful and Good.

Righteous and holy men ran the inquisition. Same with the crusades.

The war against infidels and absolute enslavement of women is righteous, and holy, and just, as the Lawful Good religion they follow proves.

Yes, in every case the people were not acting in lawful and good ways, but they were acting in righteous manners according to the religious tenets they were given by their lawful good masters.

>>41092281
Just because a religion SAYS it's the GOODEST does not mean it is. Christianity was a whole fucking lot of Lawful in it, and a some Good (churches as education centres, monks as keepers of knowledge because nobody else had time for this shit), BUT it wasn't fully Good by measures of D&D alignments as viewed from outside perspective.

D&D celestial beings ARE fully Good by D&D alignments and outside perspective.

Solars are the greatest celestial to exist, more powerful than many of the gods themselves, they would not lower themselves to being a simple administrator and are too busy in the outer planes to waste their times on the mortal plane.
this is the same reason why pit fiends don't rule the mortal realm even though they are capable of entering it on their own power. they are too busy fighting each other for dominance in the hells.
You mortals and your hilariously over inflated sense of self worth is hilarious.

At best you might find a solar willing to consent to knocking up the princess with a half celestial son to be king, you know, if you find one that is into what is practically bestiality (while we are at it. it would basically be like a human knocking up a goblin princess to have a less bestial ruler on one of the local goblin nations)

They are so pure, they do not even realise the lust their outfit inspires. In their day-to-day lives they often go naked because they are immune to cold and thus need no protection from the weather.

That is not a standard ability, and so does the solar.

I am well aware, which means that I am correct and you are wrong, because the vast majority of deities have a rank of 0. Keep in mind that a rank 0 is not the same rank null. Just like how cantrips are spell rank 0, so a fighter can't cast cantrips

"Rank 1-5: These entities, called demigods, are the weakest of the deities"
Straight from Deities and Demigods. Divine rank 0 means you're not really a god.

And that kind of ignorance is why they would not rule well. There are enormous sections of mortal life that angels just don't get, that they probably can't even conceive of without falling. That's what makes angels and devils such opposites - angels love mortals but don't understand them, and devils understand mortals but don't love them.

Everyone just thinks he's too adorable to be a threat, so end up listening and actually ending up convinced to be nicer people.

Then a real threat shows up and that cute little angel boy who no-one thought could harm a fly (and was actually seen one day safely releasing and healing mice that had been caught in a trap) shows that yes, he IS a 'real' angel and yes, he DOES wield all the power and authority of a heaven-sent ruler by blasting a greater demon back to the hells, without even a trace of the nervousness he shows when talking to humans. Turns out, he's so unused to humans, interacting with them scares him a little, but demons, the undead and other elemental forces of evil? Those he's used to putting back where they belong with extreme prejudice and holy magic.

>>41099718
>>41098979

Wouldn't that angel's nipples be showing?

>>41084497
>he's like a ken doll, just smooth

>>41100402
Have you ever been confronted by someone who is literally supernaturally persuasive? All he'd need to do is say "Please" and you'd probably agree at least for long enough to see that being good is generally better for everyone.

>>41093762
>We are talking about a god who treats sexuality as a sin.
His first command was literally "You two, go screw eachother as much as possible". As long as you only bang one person at a time, sex is great.

>>41100579
If we're going with the explanation that angels are awkward and naive around humans because they usually only interact with demons or other angels, they'd have no idea what persuasion is. They and their friends do what they're told by their superiors without thinking twice about it, and their enemies oppose them unilaterally, also without thinking twice about it. Persuasion is redundant among their friends and impossible among their enemies. So there's absolutely no reason they'd have any power of persuasion. Since humans are allegedly their friends, they'd just give humans orders and be utterly stymied when that didn't work. Eventually they'd assume that since humans are not wholeheartedly obeying every command, they must be evil and have to be exterminated.

And being good is not better for everyone. Good people have to sacrifice themselves sometimes, so being good sucks for them. Neutral humans who are mostly decent but do not want to treat the highly contagious plague victims or stand first in line to die against a demon army would be something that an angel would have no way of understanding.

>>41100457
Nope.

>>41093762

>>41100782

>>41100457
Why would that angel have nipples to show?

>>41100853
For the same reason the angel would have tits at all - to make humans pay attention.

>>41083837
>A being literally made of pure righteousness.
The problem with that statement is that this is D&D, or similar. You know, the setting where Good and Evil are not states of morality, but discrete cosmic forces.
Good and Evil are not the same as right and wrong. The first two are issues of motivation and choice of cosmic patrons, the latter two of results (including both means and ends).

>>41100872
The tits full of Holy Justice make them pay attention, the nipples are unnecessary (plus they don't really know why they're their so don't add them in)

>>41100853
Because it does, while there is no reason for it to have nipples, there is likewise no reason for it to not have nipples.

>>41100853
They're not to show. Angels can have kids. I assume they're used for the same things humans use them for. If you pointed out angels are terrifying eldricth creatures in most scenarios, I'd suppose she just found the human way of doing things to delightfully quaint.

>>41100720
You're confusing LAWFUL Good with Lawful GOOD.

>>41100873
Er, no, no, you're wrong. They're both. Good is objectively morally right and evil is objectively wrong. The thing is, there are also entities who embody that down to the very essence of their beings. In DnD, you CAN grind the universe down to a powder and find atoms of goodness and particles of evil.

>>41101370
It comes down to the same thing. Absolutely lawful things done what they're told because it's what they're told, and absolutely good things do what they're told because they love the one telling them.

>>41101666
No, absolutely good beings act in a way because they think/know it is for the common good, not because they love the one telling them. A paladin or knight could utterly despise the cruel baron who he's forced to work with to stop the rise of an evil lich lord, but he still works with him because he knows the baron's plan and support is actually good for the largest number of people (and it just happens the Baron is part of that number).

Absolutely lawful beings follow a strict code, not just orders. Their code might (and probably does) include obedience to a hierarchy, but it is the strict procedure and set of mechanics that drives them. Marrying that to goodness results in an entity that strictly follows rules that result in the greatest common good and doesn't accept anything that contravenes the code. They CAN act outside of the code, but they will NEVER go against it. A NEUTRAL Good being will go against the code if they think doing so results in a greater good and a CHAOTIC Good entity just ignores any kind of code and in fact believes that such restrictions are inherently bad things.

>>41102803
>If that's all an angel has ever known, interaction with other beings is going to be difficult.
Which comes back to the celestial being nervous and unsure around mortals, but when you very being is suffused with supernatural wisdom, intelligence, charisma and compassion, you subconsciously know what to say to get people to listen to you and let's face it, petty evil-doers have never had the strongest minds in the first place. Sure, the inexperience would hurt the angel's chances with the strong-willed, but for ordinary mortals, just being that damn cute and un-knowingly saying all the right things should be enough, surely?

>>41103446
But that would be chaotic. Possibly also evil.

>>41103854
Having an awe-inspiring presence does not equal knowing the right thing to say. You never need to know the right thing to say in an environment where everyone you talk to is made of pure good and will assume that you always mean well. And there'd also be no concept of statecraft, economics, human nature, or even written laws in an environment where everyone is naturally harmonious and orderly. It's for the best that an angel in charge of a human government would not be very articulate, because if people actually understood him and tried to do as he said it'd be a complete disaster.

>>41106756
>Having an awe-inspiring presence does not equal knowing the right thing to say.
No, but an int, wis, and cha all in the 20s do

>>41106866
int=reasoning and comprehension, wis=willpower and perception and cha=confidence and being pretty. Ability scores won't give a character information he never conceivably could have learned before in the environment he was in. An angel could learn realpolitik while in the mortal world, but it'd be so much to take in, starting with the very idea that mortals aren't made of their beliefs and moving on through all the ways that good intentions can fuck up and go wrong on a global scale, that the angel could very well fall from the revelation. They're known for falling at the drop of a hat.

>>41106986
>reasoning and comprehension, ... perception and ... confidence

We're kinda talking D&D style angels, a lot of your assumptions don't really apply

>>41084349
Yeah, and who is to say these guys wouldn't be?

>>41107087
In D&D there's a whole class of devils that are fallen angels, and in most D&D settings all devils were originally some kind of celestials. There is not a similar kind of celestials that are redeemed fiends of any kind. So falling is, at the very least, much more common than rising. And that would explain why the lower planes are a lot more active and powerful than the upper ones, requiring adventurers to try to make up the difference. Angels would be not only less numerous than devils but more isolationist and willfully ignorant. There is something an angel learns that makes it fall, and no non-fallen angel knows exactly what it is. This would engender a fear of learning too much about anything that might corrupt them, including the harsh realities of the mortal races.

All assumptions

>>41107238
>[citation needed]
The ones I know for sure are the default cosmologies in 3.X and 4e. I think in 2e Planescape it was intentionally vague like everything else, and it might have been different in Eberron where the planes are all different.

>All assumptions
That follow from what's known about the dynamics of aligned outsiders. There are plenty of fallen celestials but hardly any redeemed fiends, and fiends are way more active than celestials. Demons and devils can fight each other endlessly and still have more than enough resources left to counterbalance everything the forces of good can muster, and whenever you hear about a gate to an outer plane it's always to a lower one. It makes sense that celestials have to worry about keeping themselves pure, and this is what limits them in the same way that the Blood War limits the activity of fiends.

>>41107344
>The ones I know for sure are the default cosmologies in 3.X and 4e
Can't speak for 4e but I know this isn't the case in 3.X, the majority of devils either arise normally from the the plane or are converted human petitioners, there are some unique fiends that were once angels, and that one kind that is all descended from fallen angels, but I'm gonna need a direct citation on "all devils were originally some kind of celestials" cause that is flat out wrong

>>41107456
Tyrants of the Nine Hells explains that devils were the beings of law in charge of keeping all the demons at bay so that the other lawful beings could to things like create reality. The constant conflict corrupted them until they were found repulsive by their uncorrupted kin, and then they got the idea to power themselves with mortal souls instead of handouts from ingrates who don't respect them anyway.

>>41107344
>The ones I know for sure are the default cosmologies in 3.X
That is flat out wrong, the only Baatezu (The main kind of devil in 3.X) that were once fallen angels are the Erinyes, all others are converted souls

>>41107511
Okay, when you said,
>and in most D&D settings all devils were originally some kind of celestials
did you mean the original batch of devils were angels or all devils were originally angels, cause the former is true, the latter outright contradicts a number of other supplements

Though your own source contradicts one of your other claims, about how what causes angels to fall is unknown, repeatedly doing evil actions, even for the greater good, is a known way to fall in D&D world and Asmodeus even notes in story that that was what caused his corruption

>>41107511
Me again (>>41107648)
One more thing, >>41107524, has a point, the original batch of devils became Erinyes, the other devils are not fallen angels

And the lack of things like gates to the upper planes and information on angels can be more attributed to lack of adventures involving traveling there, I actually think this was the reason given by WotC at on time, but I'm not gonna bother to look up the reference

>>41095243
>angels love mortals but don't understand them, and devils understand mortals but don't love them.
totally stealing that exact line anon

>>41107685
The lack of adventures involving celestials was definitely the out-of-game reason for making the game world that way. In-game the explanation could be that celestials are a little paranoid about falling by becoming too active in a flawed world where every action feels like a compromise.

>>41108093
>In-game the explanation could be that celestials are a little paranoid about falling by becoming too active in a flawed world where every action feels like a compromise.
>Could be
Key part, you're assuming this is the case, there is no evidence for this, other than your own world building

>>41108151
Well, what's another possible in-game reason for angels being so hands-off? With their heightened ability to get along they should be wrecking the forces of evil and making the Prime Material a paradise.

>>41108227
>Well, what's another possible in-game reason for angels being so hands-off? With their heightened ability to get along they should be wrecking the forces of evil and making the Prime Material a paradise.

>They are taking care of other, more dangerous threats on the outer/inner planes
>Like other epic level NPCs, they are, it'd just be boring for the players to get saved by them so it they just happen to not encounter them
>They don't actually need to, good is for the most part winning, you just hear about the problem areas,
>Agreement with the gods/druids/dragons/whatever that they'll handle major threats to the material plane

You can do a lot more with them then just, "hermit kingdom of heaven"
Plus, it is cannon angels are quite often doing commando strikes in the blood war to keep either side from winning, so at the very least it isn't unlikely they handle other issues that crop up in the outer plane

>>41108390
"hermit kingdom of heaven" is a little more dramatic than "the dragons will handle it, we can trust them, right?" or "good is totally winning, you adventurers are kind of wasting your time."

Because it's not like angels NEVER interfere. They want to interfere. They want to help others. But each time they do, it's a calculated risk. What if they have to make a decision between two less-than-perfect outcomes? What if they're tempted by something they've never seen before? What if they learn something that challenges their beliefs? It could happen. It's happened before. Every time they go to earth or to the Lower Planes they're also weighing the harm they might do if they became fiends.

Unless you use that same logic as to why paladins don't do shit I find it a rather poorly thought out hand wave to exclude angels

>>41108591
Most people with paladin-like ethics probably don't do shit. Paladins are just the lawful good people who accept the risk of falling and train themselves in how to kill people. You wouldn't learn those skills if you didn't plan on using them. Angels, by contrast, are created as angels and are angels even if they never go kill a demon.

>>41108555

Not really, no, it wouldn't be out of place in a grimdarkish setting but it's not really more dramatic, that more depends on how it's handled

I've always played D&D as more of a heroic fantasy than grim and gritty so that kinda thing feels really out of place to me

>>41108637
>Most people with paladin-like ethics probably don't do shit.
Most people with paladin like ethics would be not stand for inaction due to their own ethics

>Paladins are just the lawful good people who accept the risk of falling and train themselves in how to kill people. You wouldn't learn those skills if you didn't plan on using them.
True, but at the same time, paladin level ethics would necessitate you to act even if it's out of your skill level

>Angels, by contrast, are created as angels and are angels even if they never go kill a demon.
Those are things like lantern archons, once you get into solar level power, being a lawful good ass kicking bad ass demon slayer kind of come with the territory, given the whole, explicitly the high ranking members of their military

>>41108637
>paladin-like ethics
>Not acting when you know of injustice
I don't think you get what lawful good means anon, either that or you try to hard to make your world dark and good useless

>>41083414
>How does this affect the kingdom?
All of them

>>41108763
Good needs to be kind of useless in a D&D setting or there'd be no need for adventurers. The only question is why it's useless.

Anyway, ordinary people who are highly lawful good don't just sit on their asses and do nothing; they do little things that help the needy but don't risk compromising their ideals. They're very often pacifists. Meting out life and death is a position that's inherently prone to corruption.

>>41108725
You don't necessarily rise through the celestial ranks by killing things. A good society is probably not a militarized police state. Celestials would become bigger and stronger by being more good, since they're made of good. A lantern archon could rise through the ranks and become a solar without once attacking a fiend by just having the best of intentions for everyone, even the fiends, and actual experience with fiends would make it harder to have good intentions toward them. Getting involved in places affected by evil would always run the risk of engendering cynicism and hatred.

The evil and treacherous wizard next door to the kindly monarch's kingdom is on his deathbed, and wants to make sure he can beat the goody two-shoes and his angel.

So he summons a devil, and uses binding wards to force them to rule over his kingdom as ably as possible, and to someday defeat the other kingdom by any means necessary. Though evil, he is not immoral, and takes other precautions to make sure he doesn't just blast the wizard's kingdom away out of spite.

What the fuck happens from there?

She immediacy succeeds all her lands to the angel as long as they change their kingdoms current name. There, she is no longer bound to serve her kingdoms legacy since it is technically over, now part of a larger whole and with the resources together the kingdoms are more prosperous, making it a wise choice, and the other kingdom is "defeated" as it no longer exists and has been absorbed into the newly formed angelic Empire.

Now she goes home. Eat it wizard.

>>41115844
That seems like a cheap way to get around the victory conditions imposed by the wizard, and requires that she let the angel win.

I honestly think it'd be cool if they actually knew and personally hated each other, like the angel was that 'stuck up nerd from highschool who happened to turn out pretty' and the devil was that 'stupid bitch who always took the cute boys and made my life hell.'

What does it matter to her if it's cheap? She's a devil. Her entire existence rotates around screwing over those who make deals with her.

If she wanted to piss of the angel I'd assume she'd secretly establish a cult to her whoever her demonic master is in secret, the fuck off and wait till the cult explodes and rebels against the angel.

Are you one of those LG-haters now?

>>41116555
LG is fine, but it's fragile. No other alignment is always one misstep away from changing, because no other alignment is as restrictive. One nudge and you're suddenly not LG anymore, while CG and NG give you much more room to act.

>>41115964
>>41115844
glorious.

>>41116684
That doesn't make any sense. Why is lawful good the only alignment that can change easily? A lawful good character who jaywalks is now neutral good, but a chaotic good character who looks both ways before using the crosswalk is still chaotic good?

>>41116753
It makes perfect sense because law and good are the two sides that hold people to some kind of standard, while chaos and evil are the ones that allow for some kind of freedom. Evil is the quick and easy path, and chaos is the primal state of disarray that everything naturally slides toward. It's easier to shift toward chaos and evil than away from them. Falling takes one careless moment but redemption takes a lifetime of grueling work. It is the way of things.

>>41117022
What about Lawful Neutral or Evil?

You're not one broken rule away from falling; that's ridiculous. You only change alignment, if you honestly stop believing that the code you're trying so hard to live by, is the right way to live.

>>41116753
It's a stairway to heaven and a bullet train to heck. Come on, even kids shows know that.

>>41117022
You're conflating 'paladin' with 'all lawful good' which is...not accurate in the least. Someone can be lawful good and not be in danger of shifting alignment for performing one unlawful act, or for doing something of moral dubiousness, even if whatever action WOULD cause a paladin to fall on the spot.
