[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 1522792, member: 8447"] If you don't have alignment, you don't use these spells. If you don't have alignment, you remove all references to alignment in spells, weapons, etc. It's an all or nothing choice Actually, this is a different question. It is quite possible to have demons and angels without having character alignment. Characters are remembered for their actions, maybe looking towards another force to give them guidance, but maybe not (How many characters in any given game actually worship a god? Even clerics, paladins, and druids are not required to do so by the rules, instead following an alignment -- I find that an odder notion than looking to the gods for guidance). Demons and angels, conversely, have no real choice in their actions -- they are extensions of a belief, which is not necessarily the same thing as an alignment. (I could continue this argument into the real world, but I do not wish to start an unnecessary flamewar.) But in the end, what guides supernatural beings does not have to guide mortals. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
