[QUOTE="broghammerj, post: 2029205, member: 1869"] Whenever this subject comes up I always have the same answer. Drop the alignment system and see what happens. Everyone has different opinions regarding what is good and evil. I find that people tend to be more reasonable in their approach to things. For instance with no alignment my group's characters are likely to rescue the princess because it's the right thing to do or battle the forces of humanoids mounting at their country's border. They're also likely behead a bandit and place his body on a pike at the side of the road to warn off other bandits. Is the beheading a good act? Not in my opinion and it is far from heroic. No alignment avoids the butchering of the bar tender because he wouldn't give you free ale that sometimes exists in evil campaigns. Yes, I agree with others and chalk most of that up to immaturity. Of course those that want to play paladins or clerics of certain gods have to adjust things a bit. Not to get into a political discussion, but I know very devout religious people who come down on both sides of capital punishment. How do we expect such a complex moral, ethical, social, political dilemmas that face humanity daily to be simplified in such a simple moral system as DND alignment. I don't think they can so we've done away with it. [/QUOTE]
