However, I would be interested in playing a game where alignment actually mattered in terms of actively aligning your character to cosmic forces. Maybe you do have an Alignment score, and doing prescribed things* that advanced the cause of these Forces would move your Alignment score in one way or another. Maybe you could only activate or use certain weapons or artifacts depending on your Alignment score. Maybe it would impact your reaction from NPCs, which could be either positive or negative. An incredibly Good character, for example, may attract powerful forces of evil who want to see them defeated. However, I would probably have characters pick one of five Alignments: Law, Chaos, Good, Evil, and True Balance. Characters could just declare themselves unaligned and do whatever, but then they get none of the benefits, such as powerful alignment-based artifacts.  * For example, your Alignment Good score would go up from defeating demons and devils, destroying evil artifacts, etc.</blockquote>
