Quite right Sir Willow. Trouble is, it reflects the fact that early PnP games went for diversity over logic. Those two classes aren't necessarily so diametrically opposed as to be mutually exclusive. 3
rd Ed. goes some way to remove this unfathomable display of "logic". They should have adopted something like Palladium's take on alignment if the concept was to be kept at all.
Edit: and there are those that say that the system should have been scrapped entirely. Why hold on to an archaic rules mechanism.
