[QUOTE="miggyG777, post: 7920278, member: 6987582"] As I would see it, using the aforementioned mechanism increases the likelihood of the players actually utilizing the alignment system and it significantly changes the way of how they can do so. It no longer is just an obscure framework, that, at best, fuels a debate on why the paladin can never do evil things or what it means to be true neutral. Instead, it now is another layer of fun, that the players want to engage with during the session. And in my experience the players usually let you know when they have a game mechanics at their disposal that is fun to use or benefits them. Thus I don't see how the workload for the DM would be increased at all, in a significant way, since the bookkeeping will be done solely on the player side. And I would go as far as to argue, that glancing at a players current alignment scores, is at least as fast of a way of reminding yourself on where things stand, in terms of character development, than reading and writing down notes yourself.
