[QUOTE="Enevhar Aldarion, post: 7978897, member: 6818233"] I have been playing since the AD&D days, starting in 1981, and I carry some of the old alignment rules and restrictions of previous editions into 5E, even though it has to be done as house rules. I tend to be pretty relaxed about alignment, like 5E is, except when a character is a Divine caster. I prefer the character to be the same alignment as the Divine source of their powers, though I will allow the player to use the "one step" rule from 3.x for their PC. Major violations of their alignment will definitely draw attention, and maybe punishment, from their Deity/Power Source. Or in the case of a Paladin following an Ideal or Code instead of a Deity, that would take the form of self-doubt, shame, etc. that can cause a loss of powers. But other than that, I am also more flexible with alignment restrictions based on class and would not use baked-in restrictions the way AD&D did. I would also love a Holy Warrior class, that has a sub-class for each alignment, and the Paladin would be the LG sub-class. [/QUOTE]
