My two cents...
The tittles mean something.. Isn't it a rebel behavior?

The best defintions for each alignments, IMHO, is something like this (part taken from the forums, part from other sources):

- Lawful: Works within "the system".
- Neutral: Don't care about the system.
- Chaotic: Fights against the system.

- Good: Helps a greater cause.
- Neutral: Don't care.
- Evil: Helps himself.

Robin Hood: Fights against the system to help a greater cause! CG

If you consider that his true intention was to reestabilish the right king to the trone, and that he could not accept prince John because he was serving another law, and that he was stealing to feed the people because he could not find another way, he would be a benefactor. NG... But you have to RP it really well to be seen this way...

A fantastic OOC reason NOT to go CN: Limbo.

Since he's not giving the money to the poor, though, he's not helping anyone but himself. He's just a discerning thief, essentially, who claims to be helping people, but really is not.

Personally, I'd say NE is your best bet, actually, forget the CN bit.

The other option would be to actually give the gold to the poor.

Thanks for all the advice and

i've been thinking about the giving to the poor bit and I recon I have, if you count giving that beggar in Mikona market square 20gps every tim I see him (he must be richer than me now), I also did the quest for the temple of balance where I distributed food to the commoners which I bought with stolen gold (this resulting in about 20 points towards good)

I always give a donation to the temple on the way out after being killed, and I have helped my less well off companions to purchase equipment, so begining to feel a bit more robin hoody really.
