[QUOTE="phindar, post: 3362011, member: 37198"] For one game I divorced Alignment from morality and intent, and instead applied it to universal forces. Evil was the stand-in for Negative Energy, so Undead, Negative Energy Channelers and so on all detected as Evil. (Basically, [i]Any[/i] and [i]Always[/i] Aligned creatures and characters detected that way, everybody else didn't.) Good equalled Positive Energy, so Positive Energy channels like "good" clerics and paladins detected as Good. None of this had anything to do with morality or intent, something that threw the players for a loop when they stumbled on some angels going old school (or Old Testament) on a corrupt city-- Lantern Archons canvassed the town Detecting Evil constantly, and when they picked up something, Angels swooped in and Holy Worded it At Will back into the Stone Age. A lot of "non-evil, non-good" people were getting slain in the process, but the angels were making the city pure. It was a lot like [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114194/]The Prophecy[/url] in that way. [/QUOTE]
