If it's such an easy scapegoat for this (and for several crappy DM behaviors too), is that exclusively the fault of the people using it badly....or does the structure itself deserve some criticism for being so easily exploited toward that end?There are many rules in D&D that could be exploited by willful misinterpretation or malicious application, but genuinely none of them reach the depths alignment has. Given it stands out so clearly from (AFAICT) every other rule in the game, does that not justify criticizing the rule itself, and not merely how it has been employed?</blockquote>
