[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8828791, member: 6801845"] I think alignment is one descriptor of many and no one is 100% consistent. It works well enough as is, but it's only a baseline that can easily have exceptions and changes of heart. That CE serial killer may have a soft spot for orphans because they were one. Everyone else? Fresh meat for the grinder. Someone that is neutral may see balance in all things or simply not care much. I appreciate the effort, I just think it's better to acknowledge that people are too complex to be defined by one measurement, that we need multiple descriptors for NPCs that are going to show up for more than 15 seconds of fame. It's okay if motivations and behaviors are contradictory sometimes. I'm reminded of the old chart, and that there is quite a bit of differentiation even in an alignment.
