In that respect its maybe based on D&D but its still a different game.I'll try not to wander too far off topic, but D&D as its core rules uses archtypes for characters and NPC's as a guide to play but also to support the rest of the rules system.We start making changes to alignement, then you have to make changes to-Core classes, Pali's monks, druids, clericsDivine Magic, modify anything to do with alignement thereArcane Magic, to some degree the divinations and 'evil/good' descriptor spellsPrC's, some of these will need changes based on the changes to the core classes.By the time your done, all you'll have left is a melee system and I can guarentee it wont be something you'll do over a weekend alone. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I like open-alignment game systems where I make up a character or NPC based completly on their background and upbringing which will determine their current outlook and behaviour, that in itself being a maleable factor as the campaign progresses.However, you want to apply that to D&D by all means, Im not saying people shouldnt, but be aware its probably a better system for handing a mature line of products than the core rules would be.</blockquote>
