[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 5710645, member: 5202"] That's why I like the 4E Alignment scale. You have the 2 extremes (Lawful Good and Chaotic Evil) that are the epitomes of their sides and then those who are merely Good or Evil, not devoted to the extreme. Then you have all those people in the middle who are Unaligned and free to chart their own course. It helps that WotC took some pointers (in my mind) from Arcana Evolved's Champion and finally realized you can be a champion of a diety no matter the alignment of said diety. I know there was the Plethora of Paladins article back in the 1E days, but it never made sense to me that in the core rules, ONLY LG could have a true champion of a diety. A relaxing of the alignment rules and less mechanical impact of alignments allows this and I consider it a definite change for the better. By and large, Alignment makes a tasty burger. So many other games I play operate fine w/o one, why bother? [/QUOTE]
