[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 5851113, member: 58197"] NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO *deep breath, happy place, deep breath* I'm strongly against "alignment straitjacket" mechanics, where you're punished for straying from your alignment. If they exist at all, they should exist [i]only[/i] for classes where there is a definite reason within the game world to have such a requirement--and where the nature of that requirement can be laid out clearly for players to follow. The paladin has to follow a code and never commit an evil act; okay, I can work with that, and it makes sense for the concept. Clerics have to follow the precepts of their gods; again, okay. But druidic neutrality, which effectively means "you have to balance out your good deeds by doing evil stuff for no reason," is silly. And alignment restrictions on rogues are preposterous.
