Are there anything particularly effective against neutral alignment?

And a TN PC can wield a +1 holy, unholy, axiomatic and lawful weapon without any drawbacks!

Yeah. That is one of the issue why TN seems too good. Unless you are a Paladin or want to create Holy weapon by yourself, you don't need to be good.

Seriousely, I am wondering if I should better introduce Pure Chaotic/Evil/Good/Lawful weapon property shown in D&D Online. Only characters with corresponding alignment component can use weapons with those properties. And that +1 property inflicts +1d6 damages against anything without corresponding alignment component.

Being good should have as many advantages as it has disadvantages, so that's a good general direction to also reward people every now and then for choosing non-neutral alignment.

Yeah, I'm planning to have alignment-only magic items. Since we just started a new campaign, I'm planning to incorporate material from the Weapons of Legacy book into my PF campaign.

In terms of things like holy weapons being used by neutral characters, I'm going to treat neutral characters as being half-way towards evil and give them one-half the penalty that an evil creature would take. Seems reasonable to me.

Hm. So there seems to be none. I am just feeling that characters who chose to be chaotic/good/lawful for RP purpose are suffering too much comparing to neutral characters. If there are something particularly effective attack against neutral characters, it can be an interesting twist.

You feelings are correct. Fence riders get far too much. Keeping strict tract of alignment can help, but IMHO Holy/unholy/lawful/chaotic weapons should only function for those of the appropriate alignment.

Seconded. I've HR'd that in the past.

While less stuff affects them specifically, there's also fewer things that you have to be neutral for.
If you're neutral, you get to use everybody else's stuff, or are resistant to the negatives of their stuff, but you've got almost no stuff of your own.

There's the Book of Exalted Deeds, there's the Book of Vile Darkness. There's no book for Chaos/Law/Neutrality.

There's the Book of Exalted Deeds, there's the Book of Vile Darkness. There's no book for Chaos/Law/Neutrality.

The problem is, those books are not for usual good/evil characters. Those books are for Exalted and Vile characters. Those concepts are beyond usual goodness/evilness.
