If I want comedic I'll play toon, but I like serious games.Two points. 1) To this point alignment has been a sacred cow in DnD. However we have seen other sacred cows go by the wayside, THACO anyone.2) DnD 3rd edition is a very modular game there is very little within it that cannot be removed or replaced with very little work. Allow me to extrapolate on the goals and motivations that I asserted earlier.Let's take a plain vanilla druid for example. His movtivation does not change throughout his lifetime and that motivation is to venerate and protect nature.This goal would probably lead to a NG alignment under the standard system.Currently he has the goal of rooting out a band of wizards who are conducting arcane experiments on the woodland creatures(which I guess makes them evil except that they are conducting the experiments to achieve better healing so where does that put them in the alignment system?)Therefor any spells or sn abilities that used to work on alignment would now work on these things.Anyone who wishes to harm or disgrace nature detects as an enemy. Anyone who is an ally of said wizards detects as an enemy.It is very easily replaced with goals and motivations. The goals and motivations are simply more realistic.</blockquote>
