[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8533445, member: 6801845"] I guess I don't really see the point of discussing rules from previous editions unless the thread is specifically about a previous edition. My assumption is that unless it's specifically stated otherwise that we're talking about the current edition since that's what 98% of people are actually playing nowadays. The majority of people playing D&D now have never seen a previous edition. Where that comes into play is that many of the arguments around this are from DMs that I feel overstepped their bounds as a DM in games that were played decades ago. I think it's a good thing 5E went away from alignment requirements for classes and things like detect alignment. It was the right move. You can still get some of that, paladins have oaths now that could (if the DM cares) be violated. Outside of the rare "your paladin is risking their paladin-hood" I've never seen it come up in a game. YMMV of course. P.S. on a related note my "no evil PCs" rule would exist in any game I ran whether or not we have alignment. I don't personally care for stories about anti-heroes. [/QUOTE]
