[QUOTE="smbakeresq, post: 7493796, member: 28301"] I distinctly said its not power level problem. And since you haven't used alignment since Reagan then you wouldn't know what the difference is between playing with and without is correct? It wasn't descriptive either, see Dragon Magazine, many articles, here is a listing: "[B][FONT=Consolas]Alignments:[/FONT][/B][LEFT][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Consolas] Changing "Betraying Your Evil Nature" Eric Cagle 306(20) D&D3 Clarification "Alignment: A New View of the Nine Philosophies" John Lees 60(72) D&D1 "Another View of the Nine-Point Alignment Scheme" Carl Parlagreco 26(23) D&D1 Evil: Lawful vs. Chaotic "Evil: Law Vs.
