[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 9037257, member: 7025282"] People are too rigid and exacting about alignment at times! But I too miss it…evil swords that harm good people but can be wielded by power hungry people without good scruples…holy swords that light up for pure people and fizzle for morally questionable ones… Regardless I think we also overcomplicate things. When you label good acts “evil” so that your generally good character is “evil” I suspect alignment might not be that relevant or just confusing. I would think just dump it vs. changing conventional labels that most people accept. But whatever! Have fun and make the character you like. In the present case I would ditch the mental gymnastics and choose something more accurately descriptive or as is the trend dump alignment for the most part. My last thought on it is that while alignment and fuzzy boundaries have caused too much debate, a lack of alignment is a weird cosmological thing given the planes and souls… [/QUOTE]
