Message: <blockquote data-quote="Najo" data-source="post: 3969088" data-attributes="member: 9959">I think the best approach to alignment (and the one I can see them doing) is having the alignments of Lawful, Good, Evil, Chaotic and Unaligned. You choose one of these. A character who is Lawful follows a personal code and prefers structure, a good character strives to protect the meek and stand against the wrongs in the world, a evil character is self serving and doesn't care about the consquences on others, a chaotic character prefers to live by their whims and seeks to live by personal freedom and an unaligned character doesn't choose one of these extreme ethical/ moral philosophies. This seems to reflect the real world without creating the unusual 3x3 relations within the old system. Unremarkable or "nuetral" type characters are unaligned, while many of the mover and shakers probably are aligned to one of the four ideals. A marauding orc warlord may be chaotic. A divine champion who seeks to bring the kingdom of their god to the world may be lawful. The ploting lich who seeks to become a god and corrupt the world is evil. The heroic paladin who crusades against evil and saves the helpless villagers is good. The rogue/barbarian who rose to power through opportunity and becomes a king unaligned.</blockquote>
