[QUOTE="tigycho, post: 2125351, member: 26604"] I've always felt that any component of the rules that results in as much argument and acrimony as alignment does is a broken part of the rules and needs to be either: 1 - Removed entirely from the game 2 - Expanded significantly with explanations and examples 3 - Revised completely, to remove ambiguity Personally, I use alignment as a guideline for RP, not as any sort of rules mechanic, including for Paladins and other alignment required types. When a magic item says it affects 'good' characters, if the player has written 'good' on their character sheet, then they are affected. The player may feel free to change the alignment written on their sheet to more accurately reflect the PCs personality at (nearly) any time. Many will now chime in and say that I am doing it wrong. That's fine. I get nasty emails and phone calls when I can't run a session, so I know our game is enjoyed by all. All I care about is everyone having a good time, using rules everyone agrees upon.
