[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 6405759, member: 48965"] If that is true then why engage me... if nothing I've said has made sense throughout this conversation why waste the time replying? But alignments, at least in the editions I have discussed have clearly been defined as flexible, both internal and external( a monk's discipline vs. a Paladin with an ancient code he follows), and flexible... I would think inflexible rigidly designed alignments would make it very clear without a spell going off exactly where you were... so no, I don't agree with the premise you set forth here because most of your assertions about alignment don't hold up when examined, again insofar as the editions I have been discussing. Hmm, do you think this was a flaw in the rules or in the way people played/judged alignment? (were these 1e D&D rules or are you speaking to another edition??)? I'm asking because I have relatively little knowledge of AD&D 1e and am genuinely curious... of course I've limited my discussion to the editions I know best and they all state outright that alignment is not this rigid inflexible thing you claim it is... furthermore there is no chart that it is tracked on and the description goes through great lengths to state that alignments are just broad guidelines inside of which are different personalities, interpretations devotions and so on... so I'm wondering are you speaking to a specific or a couple of specific editions, and if so could you name them so we can be on the same page?
