[QUOTE="Orius, post: 5364085, member: 8863"] Oh yes, 2e was definitely the worst edition for the alignment system, even worse than 4e's weird mess. Balance keeping neutrals and crazy Chaotic Stupid was not good for the game. This was luckily fixed in 3e which has probably the best overall treatment of alignment of all the editions. TVropes has another good take on alignments. They basically use 3e's interpretations as a base and then expand it. They also give various archtypes for each of the nine alignments.
