Good

In 4th edition, a good character is someone who believes that protecting and helping those in need or weak enough to do it by themselves is the right thing to do to, without special regard for the law or authority. It include tenets from neutral good and chaotic good alignment from previous editions.

Contrary to the lawful good alignment, a good character is not bound to sacrifice herself or ignore completely her own needs by some ethos or code of conduct, but probably she has a strong inclination to do it. She is aware that power corrupts those who wield it, and that it's better for authority to rest in the community rather than the hands of a single individual. Good characters fight the law when it becomes exploitation.
