[QUOTE="Lizard, post: 4264104, member: 1054"] Well, once again, the explanation for "why we did it" has absolutely no resonance with me; Chaotic Goods in my games were the people who'd rush to save the princess/overthrow the evil overlord without waiting for a "plan" or "more information", not :):):):):):):)s, and Paladins didn't go around whomping party members as if they'd read their character sheets. Chaos in D&D means placing the individual ahead of the collective, not random disorder and insanity. I can't help but think that the problem of "Some D&D players are real jerks" will not be solved by changing alignment rules. And, again, I never heard of/experienced anyone bitching about taking excess damage from evil-aligned weapons and people sure liked dealing out extra smackdown with good-aligned ones. Lastly, anyone who thinks "alignment=personality" just needs to read some OOTS, and compare Roy, Durkon, Miko, and Hinjo. All lawful good. All very different people. Fortunately, this is about the easiest change to ignore; since alignment no longer has mechanical meaning, restoring the classic moral/ethical axis is trivial. [/QUOTE]
