[QUOTE="Ruslanchik, post: 4328624, member: 45251"] I chose Other. I have a problem with the 4E alignment system. Instead of reducing the alignments to the ones they liked they should have just given the option to only take one radius of the alignment chart. So a character could be Lawful or Chaotic or Good or Evil, but could also be any combination of those. Reducing good possible alignments to Good and Lawful Good doesn't make any sense. If Good covers a range of alignments, doesn't it also cover Lawful Good? Doesn't Evil cover Chaotic Evil? Seems like they are just trying to promote certain archetypes, which isn't really helpful. The game should be there to provide options not restrict them. Also, as a huge Druid fan, I have a fundamental problem with Unaligned standing in for neutral. I understand how Unaligned can be meaningful, but having played actively Neutral characters I can tell you that that is different from not being aligned with anything. But that is just my opinion. Whenever I get around to DMing 4E, I won't be using the presented alignment system. [/QUOTE]
