[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 6114031, member: 6668292"] In my very long 3.5 game, my players (all Good, by alignment, for about 3/5 [maybe 4/5?] the game) had many moments where they questioned if Good was "right" or not. And, we even go to 3.5 once every 6 months or so to play the same characters (even though I dislike 3.5's implementation very much), and Good being "right" or not is at the very heart of what they left their characters dealing with, and where we'll pick them up again. I think that absolute alignment systems let people question things. It's not Good by alignment, but is it morally right or wrong?
