[QUOTE="BookTenTiger, post: 8113908, member: 6685541"] But that's not why I created this thread! I mean, I basically ignore alignment in my normal D&D thread. I think alignment [I]could [/I]be used as a way to get players in the mindset of a different culture, like a goblinoid empire. Or, let's say everyone was playing as Celestials, and the campaign was about corruption within the Heavenly Order. Because they are angels, everyone is basically going to be Lawful and Good. So it would be fun to play around within that idea of Lawful Good and create an alignment scale that shows some different shades of lawfulness and goodness! Like this: [B]Dogmatic - Tenacious - Impartial[/B] Dogmatic - You follow the tenets of the Holy Order [I]exactly[/I]. Tenacious - You pick and choose a few tenets to follow voraciously. Impartial - Though you recognize the importance of the Tenets of the Holy Order, you don't focus on enforcing them. [B]Utilitarian - Teleological - Deontological[/B] Utilitarian - You do good in order to help the most people possible. Teleological - You do good in order to achieve positive results quickly. Deontological - You do good because you follow a set of rules that guide you to do good. So you could wind up with a [B]Dogmatic Teleological Angel [/B]who wants to solve problems immediately through use of the Tenets of the Holy Order (whatever that is) and a [B]Impartial Utilitarian Angel [/B]who wants to help the most people possible but doesn't care if their methods match the Tenets of the Holy Order in the same adventuring angel party. It's fun! Systems are fun! [/QUOTE]
