For example, a character with a score of 12 in Lawful would have a score of 8 in Chaotic.A score of 13+ in one of these aspects gives the player the relevant alignment. For example, a character with 3 Lawful/Chaotic 17 would be considered Chaotic.--If neither value is greater than 12, the character is considered Neutral with respect to that aspect.--Each time a character performs a Lawful/Chaotic or Good/Evil act, he receives one or more checks by the relevant aspect, depending upon the magnitude of the act.--Roll one d20 (one at a time) for each check by an aspect, if the roll is greater than the current value increase the value by one (and decrease the opposed aspect by a similar amount).I would suggest starting characters off with scores of 15 if they choose Lawful, Chaotic, Good, and/or Evil as their starting alignment aspects, while assigning a score of 10 if they choose to be Neutral.For example, I want my Ranger to begin as Neutral Good. His starting values will be as follows...10 Lawful/Chaotic 10 (Neutral)15 Good/Evil 5 (Good)Note: The closer you get to "perfection" with regard to a certain aspect, the harder it becomes to attain, and the easier it becomes to fall away from.  I think this is a nice touch.In addition to using this as an alignment tracking system, you could also use it as a means of influencing N/PCs behavior, ala Pendragon (but that's another topic).Hope this provides some ideas <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
