[QUOTE="WyzardWhately, post: 3830116, member: 33207"] I'm not sure I care a whole lot. If the grognard types, possibly including myself, want an alignment? [I]Just write it down.[/I] We all know what it means, and nobody's going to glare at you for putting LG on your paladin's sheet. I never made a great deal of use of alignment, with a few rare exceptions, I just expected my PCs to roleplay. And, really...when a demon crawls forth from the nether-hells and is, I dunno, eating babies and leaving a trail of acidic slime on the lawn, you don't really need it to radiate an evil alignment to know it's stabbin'-time. I guess it would be cool to keep the moral and ethical forces as genuine, ascertainable quantities in the physical universe, but I won't necessarily think less of the game if it gets trashed. Cleric:"This bottle is full of evil." Rogue:"Evil what? Is this a lecture on the dangers of alcoholism?" Cleric:"Not evil *something,* just evil. The pure essence of it." Rogue:"Why...why would you want that?" Cleric:"Letting it out of the bottle is [I]worse.[/I]" [/QUOTE]
