[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 1522535, member: 945"] Yea, we've heard it all before. IMC, I use alignment, but I don't really regulate it. I just say, "no evil", and that's about it. I could just as easily dump alignment, and just say, "don't go around killing people for no reason, and we'll be ok." But, I've altered some stuff. For example, I like the [evil], [chaos], etc descriptors. It makes sense for some creatures. Spells that detect alignments, in my campaign, detect creatures with the appropriate descriptor. So, detect good only detects [good] creatures. So, you could detect evil on a murdering thug, but it won't detect him, because he's not [evil] in the way that a demon is evil. So, there is a kind of sliding alignment rule that isn't defined, per se. It does weaken things a bit, since protection from evil doesn't work on said murdering thug, but it still does work on a devil, or whatever. Mainly I did it to prevent Paladins from walking into a bar and going "I detect evil, what do I get?" [/QUOTE]
