[QUOTE="Incenjucar, post: 5915838, member: 6182"] Such ideas can be fantastic. Planescape has a lot of fun things it can do with alignment, as well. The thing is that they need to developed in such a way as to make sure that alignment is still modular and can be ignored by people who wish to ignore it either entirely or on a case-by-case basis. As such, alignment cannot be used to determine whether something is balanced, cannot be assumed to be exclusive from diametrically-opposed options, and must be assigned a toggle in the Character Builder that allows characters to be built without alignment restrictions (or perhaps even with campaign-specific ones, like Law/Chaos only!). Ideally, the vast majority of alignment-restricted options would exist in some sort of Book of Codes or the like, so people can pick up a nice fat collection of alignment-determined options for games where alignment is a very big deal. These should still be alignment-modular, but there can be more dependent sub-systems in there, like "Follow Code X for Y power." [/QUOTE]
