[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5817051, member: 92511"] I voted AD&D 9 alignment. Because that's what I've always used. Law-Chaos axes, Good-Evil axes...One is "ethics" the other "morals". That's what I use/have used for decades and it works. Yes, sometimes, it's just background/guidelines. Sometimes, it's all ut philosophic/moral discussion and debate and effects the world and game play a lot. But that's me and my game/world. As I've said in numerous of these 5e threads, but I know you love to read my stuff, so I's postin' it agin! lol. This is another PERFECT place for 5e's proposed modularity/optional nature to shine! No "core" alignment "rules." So the DM and/or group gets to choose...will it be.... [B]Option 1:[/B] "traditional" 9-point alignment. [B]Option 2:[/B] "classic" 3-point "Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic" [B]or[/B] "Good/Neutral/Evil" alignments. [B]Option 3:[/B] 4e-ish 5-point alignment. LG-G-N-E-CE. (though personally, I've always associated Neutral Evil as the "ultimate" evil, not CE. Law or Chaos don't matter, only EEEEEviLLLLL) [B]Option 4:[/B] [B]No[/B] alignments. Doesn't come up in game. I don't like 'em. They cause nothin' problems...and/or I wanna play whatever I want without moral or ethical concerns. No muss. No fuss. Everyone can pick what they want. Everyone's happy. --SD [/QUOTE]
